Though
the eventual existence of a convertible version of the
Toyota GT86 (and its
Scion FR-S and
Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has
already confirmed a concept version for next month's
Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the
FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.
