Toyota FT-86 II: Pre-Production Concept Teased ahead of Geneva Show


An almost production ready iteration of the much-hyped Toyota FT-86 sports coupe concept will be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva motor show in the beginning of March. Along with the announcement, the Japanese automaker also published a teaser shot of the FT-86 II hiding under a garage door. The picture shows the rear-wheel drive model's front end which features a modified bumper that does away with the side air vents and gains a slightly different center grille and more concave surfaces on both corners.

Toyota did not give out any other details on the car simply stating that "the FT-86 II concept will give the clearest indication yet of the final design for Toyota's next sports car."

The Toyota FT-86 II will be joined at the Geneva Motor Show by a concept version of its Subaru counterpart, which will keep the same rear-wheel drive configuration. Both cars will be offered at launch with a Subaru-sourced four-cylinder boxer engine. The production version of the FT-86 is expected to reach showrooms early next year.
