\nThe latest issue of EVO<\/em> hasn’t dropped into our laps yet, but our favorite Brit pub apparently got the scoop on another variant of the Toyota FT-86<\/a> — one that’s supposedly track tuned and considerably cheaper than the model due to arrive in 2011.<\/p>\n

Powered by the same Subaru-sourced, Toyota-tuned boxer four, this supposedly stripped out variant could dispatch some of the standard model’s amenities and come equipped with upgraded brakes and suspension components specifically designed for track work and drifting duty. According to EVO<\/em>, a fully optioned FT-86 would carry a price tag of around $27,000, while this budget-oriented performance model will retail for around $22,000 — a similar setup to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe<\/a> RSpec<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EVO<\/em> goes on to report that Toyota’s crosstown rivals are working on a one-make race series for the Honda CR-Z<\/a> and plan to campaign the hybrid hatch at the 24 hours of Nurburgring enduro in May. The more the merrier we say…<\/p>\n
