This is Toyota’s FT-86 Convertible Concept with the Roof Up. Patent application images, filed by Toyota in Europe.

...My 2 cents.
Nothing we haven't seen before, still praying for a Targa top though. Maybe Hollywood and Fast and the Furious will deliver.

Been waiting for a new Solara.

Maybe it's just me and my eyes is deceiving me because I don't have my glasses on, but it doesn't look like the concept with it's roof up that we're see in Geneva. Again maybe that's just me . I still like the convertible nonetheless.

Definitely lacking some of the beauty of the concept. Perhaps it is solely the patent renderings and we can still hope the finished product retains the Geneva appeal.

A Targa would be real nice.

Thought the community would like to see this, its the convertible with the top up, as posted on caranddriver.com. Not sure if its a photo or some sort of computer generated image but these are the patent application images, filed by Toyota in Europe.

Made it look like the newer eclipse.. My sister and mom would love to buy one.

FT86Dubai · 04-12-2013, 01:33 AM

Is it well balanced like the coupe? Extra weight?

Jeong · 04-12-2013, 02:17 AM

Why did they make the rear tires have so much gap?... Just a random thing i noticed

They said it would weigh a little more and will still be as close as stock in terms of balance. But I think that they will go out of control and make it just heavy and unbalanced.
