The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex 2-door coupe. The writing on the side indicates that it is equipped with a 20-valve engine, akin to Toyota's 4A-GE 1.6L Black or Silvertop engine, in RWD configuration (this engine did not actually appear until 1991, however, it was a popular modification for the AE86) with a limited slip differential (possibly contributing to the car's excellent handling). The car is very well detailed from the interior down to the "Watanabe" wheel option and individual throttle bodies. | The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex 2-door coupe.

Despite its small engine and meagre size, the Futo can reach astonishing speeds. Its compact size and fantastic grip allow for high agility and easy weaving through traffic at high speed. The torte chassis, combined with the rear-drive layout make cornering fast and precise, with no understeer at all. | Despite its small engine and meagre size, the Futo can reach astonishing speeds.
