Futo

The Karin Futo is a compact vehicle found only in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 series Toyota Corolla Levin GT-Apex 2-door coupe. The writing on the side indicates that it is equipped with a 20-valve engine which is Toyota's 4A-GE 1.6L Black or Silvertop in RWD configuration, which did not actually appear until the AE101/102 FWD Toyota Levin/Trueno series. However, it was a popular modification for the older AE86 series. The car is very well detailed from the interior down to the "Watanabe" wheel option.

The car's name very well may be a play on the word "tofu" which is more than likely a reference to the anime Initial-D; where a Toyota Corolla AE86 (although the hatchback model) was used to deliver tofu to a mountainside resort.

There is also a Futo model with a GT front grille, racing seat on the drivers side, Carbon fibre bonnet (hood) and rear boot lip spoiler. Some people refer to it as the "Futo GT" but it's name is still Futo when you get in it. Handling is the same, so all these addons seem to be purely aesthetic. Futo GTs can be found in East Bohan. A tutorial on how to get the Futo GT can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lvHQyPeKTb0. Halfway through is a detailed tutorial on how to get the Futo GT

Value: The Futo is worth $1,400 at Stevie's Garage, where you can bring the vehicle after you complete all of his Text Message Car missions. (GTA IV ONLY)
