The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex two-door coupe and the 2001-2003 Hyundai Accent. The badging on the side ("N/A Inline 20v RWD", subtitled with "Quad Throttle Body", "High Performance Injection", and "Limited Slip Differential") indicates that it is equipped with a 20-valve engine, akin to Toyota's 4A-GE 1.6L Black or Silvertop engine (this engine did not actually appear until 1991; however, it was a popular modification for the AE86), and is configured with a rear wheel drive with a limited slip differential (possibly contributing to the car's excellent handling).

The car is very well detailed, from the interior to the individual throttle bodies and the "Watanabe" wheel option (likely in reference to the popular [http://www.watanabewheel.com/ Watanabe RS] wheels for the AE86 Corolla). It also bears a mild resemblance to a BMW 8-Series, and a moderate resemblance to the E30 BMW M3.
