I'm not thinking so... I'd wager this body might have been one of the three that Toyota was/is considering for the FT-86. I would also wager that if the Toyota version of the FT-86 looks closer to the current concept, that there is no way the G-sport version will have such different body panels. We're not just talking add-on body-kit pieces here. I'm wondering if Toyota is airing this out to see if more folks like the look of this body than the concept.

I for one, think the front of the G-sport looks much inferior to the concept... or (as is my current favorite) the Option rendering.


The round "cup-edge" looking front & slab wheel-well sides of the g-sport:



the "FT-HS style", curvy front of the concept:


the lean, mean look of the Option render:
