Scion followed in April 2011 at the New York International Auto Show with the FR-S Sports Coupé Concept, co-developed with aftermarket tuner Five Axis. At the same show, Subaru unveiled a transparent silhouette of the car showing the new D-4S boxer engine and displayed the "Boxer Sports Car Architecture". ED 2 refined the design of the initial FT-86, by developing new front and rear fascias, and marginally increasing the dimensions of the concept. The first, known as the FT-86 II Concept, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011. In 2011, Toyota and Subaru unveiled five near-production concept cars to show their progress with the project. The D-4S engine also added a turbocharger. It featured G Sports carbon fibre panels, a vented bonnet, rear wing, 19 in (48 cm) wheels, Recaro race seats, and an interior rollcage. Īt the 2010 Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota launched its G Sports line of aftermarket accessories, along with the FT-86 G Sports concept car. The custom red paint was based on the backside of a Japanese macaque. Subaru provided the chassis, modifying it from their Impreza. Smaller than the FT-HS, the design of the FT-86 was further refined by Toyota's ED 2 design studio while the hybrid V6 powerplant was replaced by the new D-4S boxer. The collaboration produced a concept car, the FT-86 Concept, which debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2009. Following the test, Subaru agreed to become further involved in development. The project came to a six-month halt before Toyota invited journalists and Subaru engineers to test a developmental prototype. The offer, which conflicted with Subaru's reputation for high performance all-wheel drive (AWD) cars, was rejected. Toyota, led by project leader Tetsuya Tada, then invited Subaru to partner in the project, by co-developing the new D-4S boxer engine. In 2008, Toyota bought 16.5% of Fuji Heavy Industries, which includes the Subaru automotive brand. It had a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout and 2+2 seating and was powered by a V6 engine with hybrid electric assistance. The first was the Toyota FT-HS, which was presented at the North American International Auto Show in 2007. Initial layout and design elements for the 86 were presented by Toyota using its "FT" (Future Toyota) concept car nomenclature.
