The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex AE86 Coupe. 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). It is much more powerful than the normal 16 valve 4A-GE equipped in the AE86 during it's production. | The Futo is based on the 1984-1987 AE86 [[wikipedia:Toyota AE86|Toyota Corolla Levin]] GT-Apex AE86 Coupe, with the tail lights bearing striking resemblance to a [[wikipedia:SEAT_Toledo#Mk1_.28Typ_1L.2C_1991-1998.29|first generation SEAT Toledo]].

The car is very well detailed, from the interior to the individual throttle bodies and the RS Watanabe F8 wheel option (likely in reference to the popular [http://www.watanabewheel.com/ Watanabe RS] wheels for the AE86 Corolla). | The car is very well detailed, from the interior to the individual throttle bodies and the RS Watanabe F8 wheel option (likely in reference to the popular [http://www.watanabewheel.com/ Watanabe RS] wheels for the AE86 Corolla). | ||
