GT Channel got this exclusive in-depth interview with the chief engineer of the FT-86 on the Toyota side, Tetsuya Tada. I believe he’s the same engineer that was interviewed in the Chris Harris review. They get some pretty interesting details out of him about the development of the project. He talks about interviewing enthusiasts before the project started and how they shaped the decision to use a boxer engine. He also tells the story about how he got Subaru involved even though the car wasn’t be turbo or AWD. Tada gives out a few other interesting facts about the car that you probably won’t get from anybody else. There’s a bit of weird editing at the end, so just turn off the video after the main part ends.
