A member of the ft86club forum apparently received the lastest print issue of Evo in the mail and saw fit to "transcribe" portions of a couple of articles on the Toyota FT-86. Jalopnik and Autoblog were quick to pick up on the most significant of the revelations: A stripped-down version of the FT-86 might be offered to attract customers wanting to track their cars. Evidently, such a model would also be used for factory-supported drift competition.

We've already reported that Toyota is targeting a $25,000-or-under pricetag for the U.S. version of its Subaru-based rear-drive sport coupe. And if the excerpts on the message board are to be believed (and we'd always advise a healthy dose of skepticism in these situations), the track version could come in as low as $22,000 and have a more aggressive suspension setup and better brakes to boot.

We'll see.
