about the gas cap.. i dont think its behind the license plate, it seems like its too low, my guess is that theres a fuel cell in the trunk. since we havn't seen pictures of that. i think for the production it'll be somewhere on a rear quarter panel, either side

the production version of this car is not ready yet, thats why they are targeting a 2012 release! just my 2 cents! we will have 2 wait for a long time to se a production version!

as noted by ft86cbx earlier...
Geneva 2010: Toyota FT-86 Concept… Still A Concept By Colum Wood, Monday March 1 2010 Autoguide.com Despite rumors that the Toyota FT-86 Concept would debut at the Geneva Auto Show in production form, it appears as though that isn’t the case. As the very first thing show-goers will see when they enter Hall 4 at Europe’s most prestigious motor show, its obvious the importance that Toyota places on this vehicle – a model that could help rebrand the Japanese automaker while giving it some much-needed positive PR. The rumors of a redesign are also false, which is probably a good thing as the car probably couldn’t get much better looking. The name FT-86 brings together Toyota’s past and future, with the “FT” coming from the FT-HS hybrid concept from a few years back, while the “86″ is donated from the AE-86, a small rear-drive, two-door Corolla-based sports car (called the Hachi-Roku), made famous by drifters. Other than the design of the car (which is certainly impressive with plenty of Lexus LF-A inspired goodness), we still don’t know a lot about the FT-86 concept. What we do know is that it will be light weight, with “racecar-like handling” and be powered by a 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine from Subaru. With Toyota’s press conference set for tomorrow, we’ll be sure to listen carefully for when Toyota plans to bring this sporty model to market. |

So i was taking a closer look at that diffuser and it looks like maybe just maybe some F1 technology made it into the Ft86. If you look at the very top of the diffuser you can see what appears to be a slit. Which if the other F1 watchers remember was a big stink at the beginning of last season, the Double Diffuser. Its basically a hole that air moves through from under the car that helps produce extra downforce. Now if the G Concept's wing is any indication as to Toyota using F1 technology on this car then i hope it is a double diffuser. Can you you more detailed pics of the diffuser in this area for me?
