Its the Toyota 86gt(concept) the same as the 2013 Scion Fr-s? the two premium cars in the dealership look extremely similar. Also the one with the steering wheel on the right has the same exact dashboard..

This is my first post so...yeah, hello gtplanet!

The concept is the FT-86 which is not the Scion FRS or the Subaru BRZ, the 86GT, which is actually the road going production model, is the same as the FRS and the BRZ.

Yea it is a gorgeous car. There were a couple down here parked up at Mount Panorama for photos for advertising and whatnot, definatly look so much better in person. Pretty sure they'll go even better in real life too..
 
I saw one in the highway 2 days ago. It was red and almost made me want to trade my s2000 for one. Sick car

The Scion FR-S, the Subaru BR-Z and the Toyota GT-86 are essentially the same car. The Scion is specifically for the NA market while the Toyota GT-86 (or 86) is for Europe and Australia. The Subaru BRZ is available for both NA and European market.

They're all the same car with a few cost saving (mostly cosmetic) variations.

As to the question- the FT86 Concept in the game is as the name implies, a concept car from which the production Toyota/Subaru 86 is derived from.

The BR-Z has different springs and dampers, but the difference between that and the other two is minimal from what I've read. The FR-S is the 86 GT with a Scion badge, essentially.
 
I look at the 86 GT as a baby version of the LFA lol.

If you didn't know Ophiochus, since Scion is a U.S. car company for some Toyotas that is why the FR-S and 86 GT look sort of like a shrunken LFA because Toyota designed the LFA for Lexus since Lexus is sort of a luxury U.S. car company of some Toyotas.

I think I just confused myself.
