When Toyota revealed on Tuesday the FT-86 concept, the spiritual successor to the Toyota AE86, a popular sport compact car of the 1980s, there was no question what color it would be.

“Sports cars have to be red, but we wanted a new red,” said Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer, according to AutoWeek. “So we came up with shoujyouhi red, the traditional red color of a Japanese monkey’s backside.”

Quite a cheeky move, to quote a colleague at The Times. And one that others on the staff could get behind.

The concept, itself, should provide some punch to Toyota’s lineup, which its new president, Akio Toyoda, recently criticized for lacking excitement. “Surely it is us — the automakers — who have abandoned our passion for cars,” Mr. Toyoda said, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Reinventing the AE86 should help. Over the past 10 years, there has been renewed interest in the small rear-wheel drive compact among young import enthusiasts. Designed by Toyota’s ED2 studio in France, the FT-86 is expected to share many of the same sporty traits. The concept is lightweight and has a low center of gravity. It is also rear-wheel drive.

The FT-86 is a joint venture with Fuji Heavy Industries and will come fitted with a Subaru 2-liter boxer engine. The concept will make its debut at the Tokyo auto show later this month.
