Tokyo Motor Show 2009 that is held from October 24 to November 4, 2009 was incredible. Of course it was because of the Toyota Motor Corporation industries - Toyota FT-86 concept and Lexus LF-A. At the Tokyo Auto Show, Toyota drew back the covers on its new compact sports car concept, the FT-86. Using a Subaru engine, it has long been rumored that the rear drive car would also be sold as a Subaru, with with an all-wheel drive layout. Now word comes that Suabru’s high-performance STI division is planning a version of the car.
According to AutoExpress, the STI version would offer a larger naturally aspirated (rather than turbocharged) boxer engine. Currently the FT-86 (aka the Toyobaru) uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is rumored to make around 200-hp. The 2.5-liter motor would push the output closer to 250-hp.
An STI version would also get a set of big wheels, flared fenders, a firmer suspension, better brakes and some race-inspired interior treatments.
We don’t expect the production Toyota model to debut until the Geneva Auto Show in March, with the Subaru probably a year behind that. And Toyota hasn`t officially anounced any dates or technical specifications on the car, so the future plan is still unclear
