Those Gran Turismo boys work quickly.
Just yesterday we showed you the FT-86 concept, Toyota's shiny new rear-wheel-drive coupe developed in conjuction with Subaru, and today Polyphony has released a two-minute video of the FT-86 thrashing around the world of Gran Turismo 5.
The video confirms that the 2+2 coupe will be powered by Subaru's C-4S boxer four engine, and shows the FT-86 doing battle around Tsukuba with its spiritual predecessor, the original Toyota AE86 Corolla.
It's a great chance to see the Hachi-Roku (yep, that's Eight-Six in Japanese) from a whole bunch of new angles, and it's only serving to heighten our excitement at the arrival of the first properly interesting Toyota since, er, bloody ages ago.
You know we asked yesterday whether Toyota was finally getting its mojo back? We're thinking... yes. Very much so. The mojo return is on.

Fresh from Top Gear’s homepage, Toyota’s excellent new coupe concept makes an appearance in Gran Turismo 5

Engine sounds great. But how do they make a car this fast in a game? It's only been released like yesterday.

re: Da_Vincentius - i would say the engine sounds like a fairly mad in-line four - which is right for the original hachi, but this new will have a boxer, you know, as in the Impreza. Have you ever heard an impreza sound like that....? Or any subaru, for that mater....? I would say they did not get this right.

@Da_vincentius: Probably because Polyphony has a part in this car aswell, remember how closely they were involved in the creation of the GT-R and Citroën GT? I wouldn't be suprised if they also helped in this car. And as a reward they were probably able to finish modelling it long before it was released to anyone else

they unveil cars, but the game company might had the design done for a while. Also, why are they doing this type of new real car comes out, and BAM! here's the one on GT5 thing. What i think is some form of publicity.
