   The name FT-86, won't be the car's final name, it harks back to the immensely popular Corolla AE-86 rear-drive coupe of the 80s, And you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see the FT-86's potential in order to ignite a whole new generation of drifters.
   
   While specifications for this concept coupe are sketchy, the source says that the FT-86 employs a much shortened version of the Subaru Legacy platform and it will be powered by a 2.0-liter,which naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine from the Subaru Impreza lineup but with a reworked Toyota head that should generate around 200 hp. It will then incorporate a six-speed Aisin-built manual gearbox. The FT-86 is expected to inherit the front MacPherson strut, and rear double wishbone setup from the Legacy, but it can be done with strategic modifications to allow for the switch from 4WD to rear-wheel-drive.
   
   Subaru did not want to take the limelight away from Toyota's FT-86 unveiling, and will wait until a later date to reveal its own prototype, perhaps at a show in Europe next year. If you want to check out some serious Toyota hardware on a Subaru, then just look at the Hybrid Tourer concept with those gullwing doors. It's using a very familiar THSII hybrid system, a la Toyota.
   
   Some of the other features of FT-EV 2 are developing and designing a vehicle that has Ultra Efficient Package body with compact design, an idea of a speed of over 100 km/h. Use of electric and sliding doors to facilitate ingress and egress, especially in narrow spaces.
