The 86 is the middle model (Sprinter Trueno / Levin remake). There will be an entry level model (I'm thinking MR2 remake) once the new Supra is launched.

The Lexus RC is just a remake of the Soarer / Lexus SC.

I think Akio Toyoda wants the old sports car line-up back from the days he first joined Toyota in the early 80's (remember "Fun To Drive" from early 1984 that he brought back as "Fun To Drive Again" in late 2011 with the intro of the new 86).
I don't think FT-1 will have anything to do with the FR-S. If anything FT-1's specs are very similar to the the Lexus RC.

The RC is more of a IS coupe if anything. A true SC successor may be in the works with BMW.
