Here it is, folks - the highly anticipated (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/01/toyota-lead-developer-confirms-droptop-ft-86/) Toyota FT-86 Open concept, a precursor to what could become a road-going Scion FR-S (http://autoblog.com/scion/fr-s) convertible. A full smattering of images and video have leaked onto the internet, and thanks to the folks at FT86Club.com (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30037), we can now see the new hotness that Toyota (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota) will be unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show) next week.
These images confirm details that were first seen in spy shots captured a couple of weeks ago (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/15/scion-fr-s-convertible-in-toyota-gt86-form-spied-in-south-afri/) - namely, the larger wheel/tire package and the inclusion of the Toyobaru coupe's decidedly useless rear seats. These new photos, however, show a two-tone leather interior with goodies such as an iPod/iPhone mount on the dashboard. The concept car is also fitted with the coupe's six-speed automatic transmission (boo!) and FT86Club.com reports that the folding soft top is operated electronically.
We'll have the full details live from Geneva in just a few days. For now, click through our attached image gallery to see lots of pretty pictures of the topless wonder, and scroll down (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/02/28/leaked-toyota-ft-86-open-concept-images-preview-droptop-scion-fr/#continued) for a video to see the concept in motion.Continue reading Leaked Toyota FT-86 Open concept images preview droptop Scion FR-S [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/28/leaked-toyota-ft-86-open-concept-images-preview-droptop-scion-fr/)
