After what seemed like a lifetime of teasers and concepts, the Toyota FT-86 has now been officially revealed as the Toyota GT 86 ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show.

The lightweight four seater coupe is to be powered by a 2.0 litre four cylinder boxer engine developed by Subaru. The GT 86 will produce 197 bhp at 7000rpm and 151lb ft at 6600rpm with a top speed expected to be limited to 155 mph.

The gearbox will come in two flavours, a six speed manual, or a six speed automatic with a paddle shift on the steering wheel. Toyota have designed the GT 86 to have as low a centre of gravity as possible at just 475mm. The drivetrain and accessories have been positioned to sit as low and as far back as possible to achieve a 53/47 weight distribution, just kilograms away from the perfect 50/50 setup.

The GT 86 will be arriving on UK shores next summer rumoured to be price below £28,000, although speculation has it that this price could creep down towards £24,000.
Further technical information should be announced next week during the Tokyo Motor Show.

Here you can see how the GT 86 clings to the road on these twisty Spanish mountains.
