It's a Subaru & Toyota partnership vehicle. Subaru sells it as the BR-Z, Scion sells it as the FR-S and Toyota sells it as the GT-86. It's a front engine, RWD chassis with a 2L Subaru Boxer flat four motor. Just under 200 hp, 2600-2700 lbs and a 6 speed.
A friend of mine did the Western Canada promotion of the Scion FR-S and drove it all around showing it off & what it could do. I got to ride in it and was impressed. I'm glad that Toyota had the balls to create a car designed to be a reliable daily driver that was easily capable of this:
They really do slide around without much effort! It's nice to see that in a world dominated with AWD, stability control & enormous wheels & tires

Very rightly said Dustin. This is the only RWD with MT we get out in this part of the world which is affordable.

Will do that one of these days. Nothing fancy though.
Steal for 25,900 USD (95,000 AED).
Cheers.

When Subaru releases an STI version of the BR-Z I might be tempted to trade in my 2004 wrx STI for one....

I'd love to put my wife in the Scion model. 
It's an awesome little car, not very practical but a damned fine looker! Congrats!!

What's not practical about it?

Try putting an infant seat in it, rear-facing, and then going to get a month of groceries for a family.
It's a "FUN" car!

There is NO SPACE in that car! It is a go-kart practically with 32 hwy mpg to boot!

Mini van for cargo and a sports car for well sporty stuff. I dont thing they are selling it as a grocery getter.

Americans think everything is a go-kart! It's not a go-kart by any definition; it's a sports car, that's what they're supposed to drive like.
Great car, though.I've seen it fit two forward-facing child seats and two adults. A rear-facing seat won't fit, though. Certainly not as practical as cargo van but I think it's pretty roomy if you're not double-wide. I fit in the back and I'm about 6'0"

A bunch of my local racing buddies are one of three teams in Canada taking part in the Scion Tuner Challenge. They built a turbo track car for the competition and it was featured on /DRIVE recently:
