The long-awaited production versions of the co-developed Toyota FT-86 and Subaru BRZ sports coupes will finally be revealed at next month’s Tokyo motor show, ahead of their UK launches next summer. Power for both models comes courtesy of a Subaru-derived flat-four engine, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. A six-speed automatic will be optional.
Both models will arrive with a flat-four engine sending power to the rear-wheels. Although Subaru is best-known for its all-wheel drive systems, no such option will be available on the BRZ. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard, but a six-speed auto will also be on offer.

Toyota’s version of the coupe – which will be sold as a Scion in the United States – will be the cheapest and most moderately powered of the duo. Toyota is still eying a near-$20,000 price point and power should check in at 200 horsepower.
The BRZ will likely be priced from the mid-$20,000 and will boast a more powerful engine than the Toyota, although a turbo is not part of the car’s plans.
In addition to sharing most mechanical components, the two cars will also share most of their styling. The only changes between the two are expected to be grille and wheels designs.
Look for the cars to make their market launch sometime during mid-2012.
