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 Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex 2-door coupe.

The car is very well detailed from the interior down to the "Watanabe" (A play on the name of Toyota's president at the time of the game's release, [[wp:Katsuaki Watanabe|Katsuaki Watanabe]]) wheel option and individual throttle bodies. | ||
The car's name may be a play on the word "tofu"; this may in turn be a reference to the anime ''Initial-D'', in which a Toyota Corolla AE86 hatchback was used to deliver tofu. | The car's name may be a play on the word "tofu"; this may in turn be a reference to the anime ''Initial-D'', in which a Toyota Corolla AE86 hatchback was used to deliver tofu. | ||

A modified variant of the Futo is driven by the [[Albanians|Albanian Mob]]. This "GT" variant features a GT front grille, racing seat on the drivers side, carbon fibre hood, front-mounted strut bar, a roll cage inside, rear boot lip spoiler and a small bodykit. "Futo GT" is a name coined by fans; the game still refers to it simply as the Futo when the player enters it. Its performance is identical to the stock car, so the addons are purely aesthetic. Futo "GTs" can be found in [[Little Bay]]. Oddly enough, all Futos have "Futo GT" written on the interior of the doors, even though only some of them have "GT" specs. | A modified variant of the Futo is driven by the [[Albanians|Albanian Mob]].
