How I think the FR-S Should Look - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Alright, I've taken everything you guys have said into consideration and I'm working on version 2.0.

I like the shooting brake and liftback versions!

If you're designing your dream FR-S, don't design it the way we want it done. Its your car, do as you like.

Oh my god I want this. It reminds me of the E36/8 M Coupe that I lusted over as a kid (and still do).

Yeah, when I had a chance to interview Tada-san (chief Engineer) I gave these 2 photos, so next gen 86, they have some ideas/consider

...but don't get your hopes up

I would take that liftback version as a two seater for sure.

Ichi: I generally prefer a straight up coupe over a hatch (given the same design, it's usually lighter/stiffer), so pic # 2 doesn't really do it for me. The "shooting brake" version though is pretty sexy. I like the BMW M coupe for the same reason.

SkitterSkotter: The fender looks good w/o the emblem, but too much of the scallop is gone, so it really accentuates the fact that the top of the fender is higher than the top of the door. Maybe try adding a matte black or gunmetal color to that area, and extend it back along that body line to the rear side window. The orange on the wheels is too much... try a gunmetal grey. That style of spoiler doesn't really suit the car and IMO, looks a little ricey. JMO.

Yeah, it's not for everyone, that's for sure. That's why I've posted as "my wish"

I kinda like the wheel idea, but not really the execution. No offense, but I'd probably need to see real wheels on it to really decide on the way it looks.

I think it looks good the way it is.. the color matched rims remind me of the veloster.. so no

sorry I didn't do more. I drank beer and did this and by the time I got it to look 'normal' I was too drunk to finish it. Nonetheless, perhaps this version looks better. I made it a bit more 'cartoon' so you can get the general idea of how I thought it could look.

Thanks.

Nice hot wheel.

BuBlake · 10-07-2012, 12:48 AM

I think the car looks better with a 2" drop and the stock rims painted matte black...

Buzzy · 10-07-2012, 12:52 AM

I'm just jelous of the photo shop skills. Looks good as a hatch.
