here`s a comparison with Audi TT Rs and Toyota FT-86
the audi is 4cm longer.
I have driven the Audi. It is a damn small car. but the comparison shows it all. the FT86 is a small and low go-kart!!
omg, i love this car! and i`m totally sure that it will be awesome to drive!!!
its gonna be SOOO LLLLOOOOOOOOOWWW....... :) i`ll bounce Ludacris "How Low Can You Go" in this :D sideways of course..
Some guys are worrying about fitment in this car. I think the FT-86 will be no smaller interior than other cars. Minus the rear seats. While the car seems 10-15 cm smaller than audi tt or half meter compared to subaru, lol, the driver position is totally different. The dashboard and windshield lower line is about 10cm lower to ground than audi. the bonnet is almost not visible from driver`s perspective (this will probably be changed for those pedestrian killing strategies). Toyota said it feels like driving a GO kart, so that will probably reflect how the driver sits also. As much as it will be fun to drive the car around track I hope it`s also comfortable for longer trips...
How come the bonnet has to be changed? I dont understand?
It has something to do with pedestrian safety when the car hits one. Ironic isnt it. There is a calculated bonnet height and form where chances to survive a car accident increase or something. Im not sure how Lambos and Ferraris get past this, they also have pretty low bonnets.
Comparison between Nissan S13 and Subaru BRZ:
S13:
Length: 178.0"
Width: 66.5"
Height: 50.8"
Weight: 2698 lbs
BRZ:
Length: 167.0"
Width: 69.9"
Height: 50.6"
Weight: 2676 lbs
BRZ is 11" shorter (length), 3" wider, same height, and same weight.
p.s. :)
Jalopnik gets their 6'3 editor fit in BRZ

compared to the good ol ae86. the biggest difference is longer wheel base which really helps controlling the car for the average driver :)
Here is something cool:

Honestly, we want to know. Scion hosted the FR-S media launch at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway in Japan, and there’s no doubt in any of our minds that the long-awaited sports car is destined for greatness. It’s more than just a car; it should be well on track in inspiring a fresh wave of driving enthusiasts, curious to know what it’s like to hang a car near the limit. While we’re looking forward to more seat time stateside, we also wanted to check the claim that the FR-S can take a full set of mounted wheels and tires and tools onboard. And just for kicks, we brought along a Nissan GT-R that was lying around.
Having an extra set of tires available is a godsend on
those hot track days when greasy is on the menu, and who doesn’t bring equipment like a jack and hand tools with them to a track day? If there’s one piece of consumer advice we can hand out today, it’s that the FR-S can handle four full-size wheel/tires (17-inch wheels wrapped in 215/45-17 Michelin Primacy HP rubber), a two-ton-rated jack, air compressor, and toolbox with alarming ease. We should have brought more junk.
Nope. Trust us, you can still drive with four wheels/tires behind you. We recommend securing the load.
These seats come standard. This is an automatic FR-S, though passers-by could be fooled by the shifter if they were just quickly glancing inside.
The view from the back. That's an air compressor behind the toolbox, and there's still space for an ice cooler and other track day necessities.
For those wondering if there is enough space in the back:

No cross country journeys, but they need to be able to fit for going around town. |
Funny you say that I went in the back
and let me tell you I thought i wasn't going to fit but I did lol I'm 6' feet
too....pushed the seat back and believe it or not I had probably 1 inch of room
from my legs to the seat....also after seating down in the kinda comfortable
seat my head was kinda touching the glass...so yes there is room....but staying
back there for more then 4 hours...iiiiiiiiii don't think so
