Four-Door Version of Toyota FT-86 Is Rumored
By Chris Weiss
Well, it looks like the Toyota FT-86 is going to be a family. It’s pregnant with a sedan!
We’ve already heard that due to cost issues with the FT-86, Toyota is planning a smaller version to meet its original goal of a sub-$20K sports coupe, and today’s rumors indicate that Toyota is also working on a four-door variant of the FT-86.
The report originated on Australian site Carsguide and indicates that the FT-86 sedan will launch in 2013. It will feature the same 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer as the coupe version. Not instilling much confidence, the report states that Toyota is developing the sedan version as a “safety net” in case the coupe doesn’t sell. I’m not sure that a premium level sports sedan from Toyota is any more compelling, but whatever. [via WCF]
