I think of the Previons succesor as the Hakumai more than the Futo, this is all speculation.

The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex 2-door coupe | 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 (a play on the name of Toyota's president at the time of the game's release, [[wp:Katsuaki Watanabe|Katsuaki Watanabe]]), 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. | ||
