i just don't want to get all hyped up and then be disappointed....

besides, i want it to be cheap. having CF roof will certainly blow up the price.

edit: it also looks like the roof area is not as glossy as the pillars. maybe they have put some vinyl on the roof? or dry carbon???

My deduction/opinion;

I have 7 more frames from the video with it panning slightly and if it was a reflection the pattern from the roof would change. However each frame shows that each pixel pattern has a set point on the roof which does not change during panning. Meaning the pattern image on on the roof. Also if the pattern was a reflection we should have other references on the windshield and rear of the hood also

I wouldn't worry about cost though..its most likely a JDM option only for TRD model.

What this means however is that there are more things we can do to this car on a later date direct from factory or 3rd party

Hmmm interesting...I need to look at more pictures of the roof of the LFA..but is not the LFA carbon fibre reinforced plastic?

You can see the pattern much clearly here, meaning its a pretty good assumption that a carbon roof will be available from the factory at a certain trim level.

... that's some serious CSI skill level there!

Edit: Toyota Europe also posted the same video. I think EUDM version of the car will also be called FT-86.

I also think they might call it FT-86.....

In a few years this car will be in the parking lots of every high schools... Not sure if this is a good thing... Wow, the aging has finally caught up to me lol, but seriously though, I can't wait for this car to be release.

I am really contemplating between an Audi because where I live, snow can be a pain in the ass, and an AWD car would come in handy. But this car is looking too sexy to pass up, on the other hand the new A5 coupe is looking pretty good, as well as the S5. Although, I could buy the FT-86 and equip it with snow tires... Argh!! I need to test drive it so bad, please hurry up and release this car already!!

There was somewhere here ( a link) that they said that tested it on the snow and it was good? ( dont rely on my info, just google the car name and "snow")

you can probably find it.

Rear tails still look like oversized 599 lights to me, but I'm not complaining. Looks very good, thanks to the OP

I honestly hope it has an 86 somewhere in the name. Shoot, 86 GT-S sounds good too

How about...

Hachiroku!!

[Ikaros]

Weird name for a car since thunder just a sound, which comes after lightning. Sounds like neutrino though which is faster than the speed of light, maybe they knew about it O.O
