<![CDATA[Toyota FT-1]]>Small factoid:  Toyota's use of "FT" as a prefix for concept car names is just a place-holder meaning "Future Toyota", such as the FT-86 which became the FR-S/GT-86/BRZ (for Lexus it is LF for Lexus Future) so while it may be known as the FT-1 for now, it will take on a new name closer to release. Perhaps "Supra". 

Regardless, about a year ago when I was reading on the FT-1, I believe it hinted at using the BMW S55 (M3/M4 I6-TT)  but NOW I am reading that it will be using an N20/N26 (I4-T) 

Regardless, I dig it. Even though the N20/N26 is a 4cylinder, it sounds really good for a 4cylinder

I like this car

But i agree. I hope for more

But seriously. Toyota will need to match or go beyond their prior plant in the supra chassis. I hope they go the S55. If not something else.. IDK I'm just sayin'.

The first gen's more or less sounded and rattled like diesels but they have improved. The Z4 was the only car that I drove with a factory sport exhaust and for a 4 banger it sounds great! These motors have a lot of grunt too, could beat a E39 540i in a drag.

I've hoping the rumors are true about releasing a smaller Z series car, would be great to have a modern day Z3 as the current Z4's are way too expensive.

That is lovely=) So a joint venture between BMW and Toyota? 

Yep,

Toyota is sharing hybrid system design knowledge with BMW and BMW is sharing chassis dynamics knowledge with Toyota.

Toyota and Subaru have been collaborating for a few years and im still not sure what the focus of that has been... Subaru teaching Toyota how to attract LGBT customers and Toyota showing Subaru how to build a reliable engine?   idk.
