Holy shit that is even prettier than I thought it would be.

Hate the wheels, but I love that rear bodywork and the interior is pretty much perfect.

I'm not a fan of Targas, but I agree.

With TRD wheels, that interior & bodywork, and a dual exhaust, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That color is also great - it's very similar to the Mustang's candy blue.

Also I'm stealing that two color idea. I wanted a carbon fiber hood anyways. I'll just wrap the roof and get the accent trim wrapped like they did.

holy crap that is beautiful.
Only thing I don't like about targas is storing or stowing the top. that, and you don't get the ridiculously awesome rear visibility of a convertible.

Back seat delete, interior and maybe the fenders. Everything else can go.

IMO, targa is cool but not practical when the car gets old. Frame-less windows plus targa is one of the worst possible combination for leaks.

I remember reading a while back that the ft 86 was made so the pillars were strong enough, so it could be turned into a convertible in the future.

I think the odds of seeing a production model are next to nil for the same reasons they canned the full convert.
This is one time I would love to be proven wrong though!

I'm right there with you.

As crazy as this sounds, I'd be willing to purchase a second FR-S if a targa top model officially releases.

The interior is gorgeous the rest of the car still doesn't do it for me, I think it's the 19s and the ride height

This is extremely well done.

I guess I'll eat my own words, but wow she looks amazing. If that were on the lot when I was in the market for the frs, it'd probably be in my driveway right meow

Scion’s biggest surprise for this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas is by far the FR-S T1 targa top version, built by Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs.

Don't hold your breath for a production version!

Yes, I know it was a custom job.

Like i said, Scion tweeted a picture of it and i tweeted them back asking if it was real or just a SEMA show car. They didn't respond so i figured it was the latter.

I was just saying it needs to become real because it's very pretty.
