New Toyota FT-86 concept pics (non-press photos and closeups). You'll love these.

The more and more I look at the interior, I don't see why it couldn't be put into production. It does look like a super concepty interior at first glance, but if you study it, it doesn't use any out of the ordinary shapes or materials (at least the dash and display). It might be a bit polarizing for the average joe schmoe buyer so I could see them canning it for marketing reasons, but otherwise it would be a neat feture of the car if they kept that interior (i can dream cant i

No way that will ever happen on a entry level RWD Sports coupe. Wishful thinking though.


I think that car is gorgeous, but unless its all printed or painted on, all that CF will never make its way to production, WAY too expensive to put work like that into production, even if it is all standard overlay.

Anyone else think that the front end view of the car looks like an RX8, and a Genesis had a baby? just my *two cents*

I wish they keep the bucket seats both front and back if they can pass safety regulations.

Thank you! I've asked on other forums what the hell those zippers are for but nobody knew

Not only they cool looking but they'd save space inside = more rear seat and legroom

I predict black plastic in lieu of cf to keep costs in check. The general look of the interior will probably remain, but I doubt those really odd looking seats, the zippers or all that leather will make it.

What are the USB's for? ipod?

it would be more appealing if they scratched the almost non-existent back seat and just made it a two seater

[86Fan]

There's some leg room in the back if they use bucket seats or slimmer seats in the front. Small adults or children could probably fit back there for short trips. The Lotus evora can fit small people in the back and that car seems to have even less room in the back.

I hope they keep it as a 2+2 or an option for rear seat delete for those who don't want it.

These pictures are probably the best I have seen of the car yet. I just can't get myself to decide if black paint looks better or red.

Meh, I think there are enough roadsters on the market for the time being. Not enough decent rwd 4seater coupes around though.

It wouldn't kill them to push the rear seats back and closer together. This would free up some more rear leg room. I hope the production model has decent leg room in the back or else I'll be tempted to go the Genesis coupe route.


edit:
Now that I think about it some more. I wish they extended the shape of the rear window and made the car a hatch back. That would have been interesting.

I would love to see the rounded dials make it to production. My main question is this tho, does anyone think the headlights as they are on this concept will make it to production or will it be replaced with the usual crap rounded lights that production cars have? I think the headlights are one of the most important elements in car design, and these units are perfection, I really want them to make it to production but I have no idea if its production feasable?

ya I also would love to see the headlights to make it into production. It gives the car an aggressive attitude.
