Home of the Toyota "86" (Hachi Roku) previously known as the FT-86, a lightweight rear wheel drive based sports car co-developed by Toyota and Subaru.

Well, that didn't take long. The First Toyota FT-86 (a.k.a. Scion FR-S) has made its way to the dyno courtesy of the good people at HKS. How'd it do?

Of course, whenever HKS gets involved, you can feel safe betting your lunch money that forced induction won't be far behind. True to form, HKS showed off its handiwork on a drift car version of the new sports coupe from Toyota.
