It is reported that BMW and Toyota are working on a new "flexible platform that can underpin everything from a small two-seat roadster to a larger sports car." If the report is true; whether or not FT-1 is the BMW/Toyota car, this lends me to believe all future Toyota/Lexus and BMW sports cars will underpin this new co-developed platform. Z4, Z5, Z7 and ect for BMW. Second gen 86, FT-1, new SC/ZC and ect for Toyota/Lexus.

Its great to be confused on so many new coupes coming

Regarding the exhaust and car length, I thought this concept is bigger than what the actual car will look like. This is done to so its easier to display the concept?

Assume they trailered it there, think they just rolled it off in neutral or turned it on, if so wonder what it sounded like

I overheard someone say that it was driven in using electric motors but I don't know how true that is. I'm sure the trailer for it isn't too far away if that's the case.

I posted up some pics in the SoCal section: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/8582777-post2.html

^ gotcha. For the blue LF-LC (probably the red one too) Lexus claimed a 500hp AWD powertrain (which wasn't far off with the latest news) but in reality it had a golf car motor to get it onto the show stages. Odds are the FT-1 is doing the same

Yup, a production car will be around 10% smaller.

Yes sir, its powered by an electric motor. Most concept cars are.

Thanks for for the great pics

The owner of the red Supra told me Toyota hired professional photographers to take photos during the group photo, and to maybe expect photos soon (via Toyota USA Facebook?).
