The biggest question surrounding Toyota‘s awesome FT-86 concept isn’t if the car will make it to production, but what it will be called. That mystery may have just been solved, with word that Toyota Motor Corporation has just filed a trademark for the “FR-S” name in both the U.S. and Canada.
The name certainly makes a lot of sense, with “FR” standing for front-engine, rear-wheel drive, while the “S” presumably being used to indicate that this is in fact a sports car. Like the FT-86 Concept’s name, it’s also a throwback to the Corolla AE-86 that inspired it.

They don’t do it often enough, but when Toyota decides to build a special car, they can sure as hell do it. The last Supre was quite a car, and I’ve heard rumors for a while that they have an aluminum framed and bodied 10 cyl. mid engined car that is all developed.
