According to German publication Autobild, lead 86 developer Tetsuya Tada has confirmed plans to bring a convertible 86/GT86 roadster to the market.
In an interview, Tada confirms that the convertible is coming and adds that the GT 86 was designed from the outset to be a convertible as well. The timing of market release has not yet been decided, however.

nice - but i want a 4-door 86 :)

Thanks Hachi!
I think this model is what will skew the demographic over to the female side... |
it looks pretty hot. I would still take the coupe over it though :thumbsup:
|
yeah for more headroom
|
I thought they weren't going to make a convertible for this car to maintain the structural rigidity of the car?
|
I think it is a good thing. Scion and Toyota proper needs a roadster. I hope it will be a two seater.

Meh...Not my cup of tea.
but Thanks for posting Hachi! |
Excited, I hope this is true. The highest trim with all the luxuries and amenities available for a convertible and lowest spec coupe for the track. Combo breaaaaaaker
Convertible GT86 = The new S2000, IMO. |
this story is jumping to conclusions. we've known for quite sometime that the chassis was designed so that it can be made into a convertible. that in no way means they are in the process of making one. thinking about it? planning? sure. did tada say outright they are making a convertible? nope. also there has to be a financial case to move forward , and imo there simply isnt. convertibles dont really sell well. 2 seat cars dont sell well.
if anything, the chassis may spawn a 2 seat HYBRID. we have seen the GRMN hybrids http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....1322719740.jpg but they were using a MR platform based off the MR2. MR would be hella cool, but why go there when you have a perfectly developed RWD chassis already? HSD on a FR platform? done! GS450h, LS600h, etc. to me it makes perfect sense. make a CRZ type car, except its unique in that its a convertible. it can compete with both the CRZ and next gen miata which is supposedly going back to being super small and super light, which means super weak engine as well. so a real sporty hybrid? it just may happen.... |

convertibles are retarded.

I don't understand why anybody would want more weight on this car. I can understand a 370Z roadster but not with this. If they can make a roadster at the same weight or less then it makes sense to me.
