-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 which is Toyota's 4A-GE 1.6L Black or Silvertop in RWD configuration, which did not actually appear until the AE101/111 FWD Toyota Levin/Trueno series. However, it was a popular modification for the older AE86.  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. 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).  The car is very well detailed from the interior down to the "Watanabe" wheel option and individual throttle bodies.
 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.
-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. After collecting all thirty cars for [[Stevie]] he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], with the Futo fetching $1,400.
