After many articles in the media and my first glimpse of this machine at 2010′s Tokyo Auto Salon, the unveil of this machine was made public Saturday, November 27th. There have been quite a few nice articles on this highly anticipated machine from a variety of different media sources. The Toyota FT-86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S is a sigh of relief and I hope this car sells cause this car is what the dwindling tuning scene in Japan needs.
Having my own AE86 build in Canada this is the kind of car I would like to see myself in so I`m hoping the initial price is reasonable. N/A and balanced, 53%-47% front to rear, is a definite win for me.
Here is a video from 7tune on the day of the unveil at Fuji International Speedway.
I cant wait to test drive one
ditto on that one .. If I can invest in one I probably will.
Thanks for the plug Chad! We’ll be sure to do the same for you guys in future!
One thing that really annoyed me about the video was that the driving sequences were shot with the traction control ON and I couldn’t get the damn thing to hold a slide. Only had 3 laps in it too.
A few people have taken shots at me for “not being able to drive for $#%t” but that’s alright, they don’t know a lot then obviously!
Well you could consider it a display of how the car reacts with the Traction control ON. But yea kinda silly to judge driving in a new car with only 3 laps.
