Toyota FT-86 shows at Beijing Auto Show
 

The original Toyota FT-86 concept is being shown by Toyota at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show currently underway in China. Although the FT-86 has not yet been shown at any North American auto shows, this move by Toyota goes to show the increased importance placed on the Chinese market by the world's car manufacturers.

Not much new is shown since this appears to be the same original concept car first debuted at the past Tokyo Motor Show. The only new element seen is the trunk being opened during prep for the show, which is likely a fuel cell (placed there just for concept use purposes). The open trunk also shows that the FT-86 does not feature a hatch (as some speculated) but a standard trunk.

Well here's hoping that the back seats are at least a 60/40.

Looks so good.

I find it weird that a stingray comes to mind when I look at this photo.:bellyroll: I'm loving this car more and more. Anyone know when the next auto show is in North America? That may solidify my hope that this WILL be coming here.

Ya in the photo chop thread there is a dark green FT, it reminds me of a snake. :party0030:

Im not sure on the next big show here.

next thing you know we have a china copy of the FT86 lol

Will it be Geely, Great Wall, or BYD?

The punk on the ground is looking where I wanna look! Isn't he in this forum to tell us more detail and which engine they have in there... or if he do, he get sue by Toyota? lol

Whats all the stuff in the boot!?

According to the article, "The only new element seen is the trunk being opened during prep for the show,which is likely a fuel cell (placed there just for concept use purposes)."

i.. cant.. wait.. i wish toyota will give us more information already.. the anticipation is killing me

lol you for got SAIC

is he taking pics or he works at the car show making sure the car is on the right spot?

Blech, gooseneck hinges. My '93 Celica had better than that.

Well there goes the fastback idea. Was hoping for a hatch version :bs:

Then it would be called a GMC! :clap:


Makes sense having a fuel cell for now. I doubt it has any internal characteristics of a production car, spare tire, tire jack, main fuel tank etc.
