\nIf a report from Japan’s Best Car<\/em> is to be believed, Toyota<\/a> will delay the release of the FT-86<\/a> from 2011 to 2013.<\/p>\n

The reasons behind the delay are varied, and include a different design direction, the economic slowdown<\/a> and possibly a revised powertrain strategy that could include some kind of hybrid motivation.<\/p>\n

As reported previously<\/a>, the original FT-86 concept was just that – a design study – and Toyota is apparently second-guessing the styling of the coupe before it reaches production. Additionally, ToMoCo is reportedly gauging the success of the Honda CR-Z<\/a>, which could influence the final drivetrain specs of the FT-86. If that means a hybrid powerplant is in the cards, we’re not totally heartbroken, but if Toyota decides to remake the coupe as a front-driver, consider our dreams officially dashed. Regardless, the next iteration of the FT-86 is slated to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show<\/a> at the end of 2011.<\/p>\n
