Designing the Toyota GT86 - 4 Part Feature by Toyota Design Chief, "Dezi" Nagaya
 

Toyota Design Chief, "Dezi" Nagaya, joined Toyota Europe during the 2012 Geneva Motor Show to give us an exclusive insight into the design concepts behind the Toyota GT86, front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports coupe.

Nice!

I like the video- they did provide some insight into the minds of design of the vehicle- BUT they all should have just spoke Japanese especially Dezi Nagaya- none-the-less I admire him for trying

Love the interior- I wonder if the push start option will be standard in the FR-S? Really looking forward to seeing how much the FR-S resembles the GT86 since they were made in the same location.

I wouldnt have guessed the center console was designed to resembler a connecting rod/piston. Kind of fun to hear there was some thought put into it but the skeptic in me is thinking, how much of this is fluff and how much time did the design team really spend changing and rehashing decisions like the Kill Switch location.

Nice post Hachi. I love Dezi's description of the interior with the Neo Functionalism concept.

Ohhhh so this is the guy I blame for the tail lights :bellyroll:

haha I keed thanks Hachi

P.S. Love the fact that there is a hole in the fender area

what ever happened to that jaromir czech fellow from toyota ed2?

T's they're everywhere!!!

It's kinda sad how we won't get that kill switch design concept for the FR-S because we don't have a push button. They should put the keyhole there xD

Poor guy is having a bad-combover day....

What are you talking about? His hair is GOLD. :thumbup:

I just fell in love AGAIN for the 100000th time when he said the logo/vents on the side are customizable.

Yes, I jumped in joy. :D He also mentioned turbo ;)

Am I the only one blown away by the fact that the 86 logo has the pattern of a 4 wheel drift drawn into it?

I mean...how many times have I seen that without ever realizing it...

thanks for posting!
