some small pieces of info from a couple of sources, being a concept car we can take this info as such.
http://jalopnik.com/the-toyota-ft-1-...-re-1502590788
The car was recently offered in Gran Turismo 6 and it's virtual specs are: a curb weight of 2,910 pounds (1,320 kilograms) and 485 horsepower, which apparently gets bumped to 518 horsepower after an oil change.
This is completely believable performance level taking the concept car's rear tires as a gauge, which are 305/30ZR21.
Also in case you missed it in the introductory video, Toyota's designers hinted that previous cars in this lineage had inline-6's and suggested that this lineage would be followed, but did not confirm anything.
srika, visions of the FT-1 still dancing around in my head
And as the days go by and I see more images of this car, my appreciation grows stronger

The FT-1 looks a lot more production ready then the LFA and FRS concepts. I think that's what they had in mind when working on the concept. BTE, I totally forgot what the ORIGINAL LFA concept looked like... straight out of GTA 3.

worthy. They should salvage that design as a Lexus or something. Similar tails to the FT-1.

BMW has confirmed the next Z4 is going to be 6 cylinders and we can safely assume that it will have turbo(s)
So since they are sharing engines, we just got our next Supra I6 Turbo RWD.
So I6 Turbo 460hp or SC V8 707 HP
both at $60,000
um.....

AutoMotor und Sport is reporting that new next Z4/Toyota project WILL have a turbo six gasoline engine. BMW spokesman Kai Lichte said: Whether the hybrid powertrain is also used in the BMW, or whether the Z4 gets four-wheel drive, but it was "too early to talk about it," as the BMW spokesman told an Australian newspaper says. "First, we will have a six-cylinder, that's for sure. Everything else comes later maybe." The next Z4 will be jointly developed with Toyota and BMW. One possibility is a Toyota hybrid and fuel cell expertise also to be used in the next Supra model. Toyota all-wheel drive Toyota Supra might be available as a hybrid drive system with a two-liter four-cylinder and 350 hp on tap for the next Z4. Dackel
