New GT5 Video Shows off Toyota FT-86 Concept

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QZacNDd6vI

You probably remember the stunning Ferrari 458 Italia video that Polyphony Digital put together for the company. Now, they’re doing it again for Toyota’s new concept car: the FT-86. This time, we actually get to hear some engine and improved tire noise, along with what appears to be a new track at…dusk? It’s fun to speculate, but we probably shouldn’t read too far into the sounds or time of day just yet. Regardless, take a look and enjoy! I’ll update this post when I get my hands on a better [HD] version of the trailer.

    and for the record this car is not meant as a celica but as a spiritual successor to the AE86 COROLLA (hachi-roku) and is being built as a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru (boxer motor).

  2. Dylan

    The track at the start has to be Grand Valley Speedway in reverse, look at the tunnel and the stone wall along the side of the course.

  3. johnny dazzed

    MEAN video.

    Agree about the truck. Would be so cool to be able to own trucks and shit to drive into.

  4. Bano

    Maybe there will add skidmarks…. but i´m affraid they won´t. But hey …. i checked some pics and vids and i´m more and more sure that there put the Stelvio in. Forget Nordschleife-Nürburgring !!! That would be the best thing at the game. It´s the highest mountainpass in the world i think. between Italy and Switzerland. Check the pics in google….

    ‘Awesome’ game! I hope it has all the cars from GT4. Can’t say I like the car much though…. I don’t like any Japanese car except the AE86.

    Do you THINK GT5 will be released in Christmas 2009 or march 2010? My brother says they finished the game and are just polishing it up a bit and killing all bugs and game will be realeased soon.

    I’m really not sure how I feel about PD making these little vids. I’m either unhappy because they’re becoming an advertising firm, or maybe I’m just unhappy because these little weekly video releases are too little info too late now that I’m pretty well set on buying my GT5 used.

    At least toyota tried to make the front half of their car look interesting. That’s some good news.

  7. Murcie

    Good to see Toyota’s and Subaru’s collaborative project in the metal. Looks kinda like the FT-HS concept that was supposed to be the successor to the Supra, but from the sounds of the name it’s actually supposed to be the successor to the legendary Sprinter Trueno/AE86 Corolla. But with a Boxer engine? Interesting.

    @Stevo

    It’s probably the driver customization they had one in Tourist Trophy. There’s a street suit and there’s a racing suit.

  9. bano

    Maybe i´m wrong but the road looks like the stelviopass !!! If that would be true…. holy **** have a look in youtube for stelvio

  10. Big Ron

    Yeah, the concept car looks good, but we need a lot of Youngtimer, Oldtimer and classic race cars to be saticfied.

    I don´t want to race with concept cars all the time. I am a fan of GT Legends and I want to see some good old rae cars…..ther must be something in between 1000 cars.

  11. CroatianGTfan

    In the E3 07 trailer there is a city at night.
    It’s probably seen in the hidden trailer PD hasn’t published.

    “We also saw a Ferrari with a big city in the background.”
    -Interview with K.Yamauchi

  12. tvensky

    I already just adore that new track, with those huge brick walls, forests and sharp turns…. hope there will be a lot of great non racing circuits and point to point beautiful tracks, with great views….

  13. Stevo

    I agree with Maurice in terms of the trailer. It was kinda weird how the driver had no race gear on but in the race/drift scene he did. could that possibly be photo mode? or driver customisation? i hope for the latter, either way, tis cool.

  14. Maurice

    Compared to the Ferrari 458 it’s actually not a very stylish trailer… I mean come on, this is Polyphony unworthy, uninspired music(a track that actually has been around in GT games for some time I believe), very strange engine/tyre noise which seems not to be in-game(aside of the fact Polyphony normally never has sounds in their video’s).

    As for the car, it actually looks pretty much like a Nissan GT-R in almost like Ferrari red, it doesn’t look bad but I can’t really get too excited by it either.

    As for the Ferrari 458 trailer, I was blown away by that :D

  15. tek9[r]

    Wow! that is a nice car, Tak would be proud. FR Boxer engine!? F*#@in’ sweet!
    Would ya’ll be for having a custom character for each ride? Maybe after the game is released we could DL a program, imagine; your face in your favorite car, The Hoff in a ’82 Trans-am, your wife and kids in the minivan, it would probably get old quick and only be useful in photo mode, but I would still buy it.

    i hope you can actually change the face of the driver and replace it with our own face.
    ——————
    dumbest idea ever? If they actually took development time away from other areas of the game so people could put their face on a driver, a driver that you will never see the front of, would be the dumbest thing possible. Good video, nice screetching tire sounds.

    @Sam_NY

    Zune is definitely not owned by Sony haha. It’s definitely a Microsoft product. They’re trying to compete head to head with Apple’s ipod. It is what Microsoft always do. They dare go head to head with the top trends and product, just like how it is with Bing (competition to google/yahoo), Xbox (competition to Sony/Nintendo), or even Forza (GT’s rival it seems).

  18. Sam__ NY

    This is off the subject but the forza wedsite announced they are giving away a free Audi A4 Tuned (not sure what the real name is) anyway, oddly the Audi was customized with ZUNE as the sponsor. BUT ZUNE IS OWNED BY SONY!!???

  19. AndyC

    Less concept. more old school please.

    To be honest I’ve realised as I follow these threads that my tastes have changed from living and breathing GT to something more akin to MotorStorm II (shudder I know). I think that happened around the second kid mark, and the loss of 5+ years GT4 savegame – I could have cried.
    Now something more arcade that I can pick and play with a controller for fifteen minutes is more what I seem to be doing.
    Perhaps GT5 can rekindle my love, but then it’ll need to not have 35 types of skyline (fail then) and weird concept cars and a myriad of slow cars that I’ll have to buy to race but never use again.
    Oh well.

  20. Trial the Echidna

    Great video…at the beginning the stone wall after the tunnel looked liked a lot Grand Valley, in dusk, like G.V. on GT3.

    btw, the car is nice…

  21. ralph89

    I’m pretty sure Eiger and Grandvalley isn’t there. It’s probably one of the new tracks, just like the other desert track from italia tribute.

    Hope the complex string is back though.

  22. Alan

    Oh thats great, they tell us GT5 isnt out for another half a year at least then shove another trailer in our face to rub it in for good measure, for all the people saying theres an update for GT5P tell us where ur getting this info from?, PD already said they were finished with prologue and were concentrating on GT5

  23. Rick

    huh… dusk… i wonder what track it was…

    and the tire squeal is different, plus there’s SMOKE! if that’s new…

  24. Bigbadwill

    The new tire sound is great. The engine sound has improved but is not that good. Still, nice that they both improved. At least on some of the cars as far as we know.

  25. steven

    that outside track in the beginning of the video seems very attractive … doesn’t look like any i know of from gt4. stuff like this rises my longing for gt5 more and more!

  26. gtone339

    1:22 Trial Mountain?? Or just Eigar extension?
    1:08 Grand Valley Speedway?
    Also shows London track and Fuji Speedway

  27. daus26

    Just to be clear on the subject, there were mentions about longer versions for both London and Eiger. I know for sure.

    But yeah, nice to see some drifting action. Woot. Here’s hoping we’ll have point to point tracks for road as well, and not just rally!

  28. Razor

    Bigbadwill> Unfortunatelly there are no SKIDMARKS on track….its sad that such ‘perfect’ game has those arcadish smoke and no skidmarks….seems that they should have made at least some progress in that department from PS1 days.Unfortunately – not. :/

  29. viejaloca

    If those tire noises aren’t dubbed then I am dumbfounded! Everything in that video looks and sounds real!

  30. 5gran turismo5

    if u ask me i think theres going to be spec 4 including this toyota then ferrari and something else we need to see

  31. Confi-User-3

    Normally I don’t like the design of the newer Toyotas… but this is a masterpiece!
    And again a wonderful trailer from GT5. Why do we have to wait 6 months to play this? XD

  32. Aaron Jaggan (pranl)

    @race’emhard

    yes u know how long i waited? lol
    I love the celica and the 86..this video made my day :)

  33. WheresFreddie

    When the FT-86 is lowered off the truck – could this be how we acquire new cars when we buy or win them? Cool if it was! And I believe that the track seen at the beginning is new to GT5. Need a HD version :)

  34. OllieF

    Like the E3 ’09 trailer the driver wasn’t in race overalls or a helmet, driver customisation isnt important to be anyway :’)

  35. Big Ron

    I am a little bid sad, that there are still no skidmarks on the track and when the car is drifting :(

    That is one of the first things, when I am thinking of racing.

  36. marc

    Wow…very nice! I have no doubt that showing the motor in this clip…is a hint of whats to come! Great vid!

  37. race'emhard

    A new sports car form Toyota? YAY! this is a good day. they still need to work on putting the FT-HS into production. (the concept from a few years ago, remember?)

  38. Jeffrey Miller

    The dusk track kind of looked like Grindelwald from GT2.
    And was that a Toyota sprinter trueno (white car) racing the new concept?

  39. Mustang750R

    It has a 6 spd trans. with 4 cylinder engine on a RWD platform developed by Subaru and Toyota and should be out by late 2011.

  40. jBat17

    @crispy, i think that’s for the london track. i remember hearing somewhere that the london track in GT5 will be 5 times longer than the one in Prologue

  41. soLid

    Something tells me that you will be able to map your face with the playstation eye put it on the driver’s head.That would be aaawesome!

  42. MSH

    @ Crispy:
    Exactly my thought. I thought I read somewhere on the forums about longer versions of Eiger and London.

    Let’s hope for some point to point Alpine courses … “yummie”…

  43. Crispy

    The track looks like possibly a long version of Eiger, I think I heard somewhere that there was a longer version than the one on GT5P!!

  44. BMfan

    The 1st bit looks like a few tracks put together but also like a mountain pass or maybe a tarred version of the pike peak climb,which would be so awesome to race on.
    To Toyota,nice car

  45. Bigbadwill

    Did i notice tire marks on the ground? Also, i think there will be cockpit view fo all vehicules, but most of the cars won’t have fully modeled interior and viewable damages from the interior.

  46. Axel.370

    I noticed the guy or girl driving wasnt using a helmet
    in all other cases theyre in racing uniform with gloves, helmet, etc

  47. NBH

    Nice video, the drivers face was interesting with no crash helmet. The tracks looked like ones we have seen before, it just looked like Eiger then London then Fuji although I admit Eiger looks a little different in places to Prologue.

  48. jul_1087

    Important thigs form the video:
    1)Eiger(it seems) has a new design
    2)new tire’s scretching sound
    3)racing at dusk..well not sure about that,but this could be an hint for day/night cycle
    4)cockpit view for this concept car and maybe for all the concepts
    Nice video btw :)

  49. Emu76

    Looks a bit like the Grand Valley tunnel, then the dusk scenery reminds me of Grindelwald from GT2. Probably not that though.

  50. Big Ron

    What I noticed…in the video, there was a new sound of speaking tires, which sounds really great and realistic and not so annoying like in older GT games

  51. ravellron

    no one notice the driver face…
    there’s always somebody different in the PD’s trailer…
    for me, the driver is fully customizable at 100%

  52. Big Ron

    Wow, the new track locations are really great…looks a bit like the serpentines of Japan or something.

    I hope, there are a lot of new tracks and not only recycled known GT tracks
