Thread: FT-86 Logo Revealed, Inspired by Boxer Engine

A design sketch of what is rumored to be the logo for the upcoming Toyota FT-86 has surfaced online, clearly highlighting the Japanese sports car will be powered by a boxer engine.

The design sketch shows two horizontally opposed pistons; an engine design that has earned the ‘boxer’ title because of its visual similarity to two boxers tossing punches.

Rather than a crank in the middle, however, the sketch shows a stylized number 86, in reference to the rear-drive AE86 Corolla model that formed the inspiration of more than just the name of the FT-86.

Rumors have indicated the production FT-86 will get a 2.0-liter boxer 4-cylinder engine, donated from Subaru and if this is in fact the actual logo for the car, then those rumors would look to be true.

It’s not clear how the logo will be incorporated into the U.S. model, however, with recent reports indicating the car will be a Scion model and wear the FR-S badge.

Toyota FT-86/FR-S Will be Badged as a Scion; Priced at $25,000

Cool concept, I'm sure it will be more stylized and simplified for ease of production and reduced cost.

As for make-badging, I think Toyota is making a big mistake if they offer it as a Scion. I understand the whole youth-motivated image of the Scion brand, but that would be the proverbial nail in the coffin for any chance of Toyota regaining a foothold with a "sport" offering.

No Supra, no MR2...if they let this one slip away, the Toyota brand is doomed to minivans and econobox sedans.
