Thumbs up Competition model Toyota FT-86 coming and at lower price

Info from FT86club.com

Amazing to see a car coming out that's actually light and cheap and even with a competition/track version. So refreshing to see in this age of green and technology laden cars.

Both Toyota and Honda are planning to go racing with their new sports cars, the FT-86 and the CR-Z respectively.

While the showroom version of the FT-86 is expected to cost over $27,000 in full spec (that's a touch over L16K, but expect that price to be considerably higher for UK cars), one source close to Toyota told us that a special low-frills competition version will sell for less than $22,000 and be specially set up for racing with stiffer suspension and beefier brakes. The same model will be used for drifting competitions.

It's the fabled Subaru/Toyota partnership car! Awesome!

Hopefully aftermarket capabilities for it are good... It'll be a mean little Genesis competitor if they do it right.
