At Toyota we met Tetsuya Tada, or Mr GT 86. Little comes out of these usually, but he did admit to a fondness for the Porsche 944 Turbo stemming from his time working in Germany with Toyota's rally team. A passion that's stuck with him and led to him declaring modern rally cars boring and a dream to see a rear-wheel-drive championship rekindling old-school sideways fun. Perhaps a one-make GT 86 one even. Or something like this?

I thought it was interesting, maybe the Gt86 is inspired a little by the 944's?
 
RX-7 definitely was, right from the start it was like the Japanese 924/944.

By extension one could say the gt86 continues the RX-7 ethos of a compact size car with low weight and low CofG.
