as far as I've heared it's going to be a boxer or a version of the NZ engine family... I do hope for the boxter though - would sound awesome.

well my bad it's just a typo nevertheless I doubt they'll fit the right flat 4 Wink to it... there's that high comp JDM EJ20 subaru did I think around the millenium with 190 NA hp revving upto 8krpm too or close and equal torque slightly over 4k that'll be perfect - can't find the specs of it though right now.

Its all speculation at the moment, though they mentioned at Geneva it would be a 2012 release so its definitely planned.

I heard it would be a 2.0 L N/A flat 4 from Subaru, but they haven't really announced a spec yet.

A lot of the thinking behind the car isn't so much about power but about handling, double wish bone on the back, light around 1250 Kg, (well light for these days), low CoG. The layout is designed to be FMR.

Sounds kind of like the S2000 but in coupe form.

More like MX-5.... unfortunately.
Mazda is a great car but i would prefer to see 86 gets more power.

Well, Fii (ae86, JZA80 and ZZW30 owner from Latvia) went to Geneva Motor Show to see ft86 (european debute for this concept) and production Lexus LFA in flesh Smile As I understand, he liked ft86. And I think will own one after 2012.

I absolutely love the look of it but I'm disappointed that it won't have Toyota power.
