Near-Production FT-86 Rubs Shoulders With Supra [Video]

SB Medien may call the forthcoming FT-86 a “Celica replacement,” but in this first video of the latest near-production prototype, the budget rear-drive coupe nearly runs into a Supra which apparently belongs to the development team. The Supra shows up once more in the video’s ‘ring testing footage (about 1:55 in), suggesting again that it’s somehow involved in the testing or benchmarking process. How and why? Your speculation is as good as mine…

I smell PR tomfoolery also. I feel like if they were serious about bench marking either the RX-8, the Miata, S2000 or the 1-series, etc. would be hanging around.
Nice PV array on that garage: I'm guessing 6.5KW.
Notice how the car looses and regains it rear-wing magically throughout that video?
Let's just say that if you work at Toyota and are an aficionado, which car other than a MkIV would you want to own and drive?
