Toyota FT - 86 Concept - operation open open

"To judge the reactions of customers for the possible launch of a convertible version GT86": officially, it is the role of the FT - 86 concept open. But there is almost no doubt that this study will quickly become a model series.

A detectable Toyota? Since the demise of the grill of the Lord, in 2007, this was no longer present in Europe. Fortunately, the brand will be soon in this niche through the convertible GT86, announced by the FT-86 concept opened in Geneva. Contents weight, normally aspirated engine, rear-wheel drive, soft top... are some aspects in common with the RM. But engine is now entrenched in the front and the already not rear center position, while two additional passengers (small) may occur on board. A figure of chest real even in the program, while his predecessor was symbolic. Another fundamental change, the passing of the four of you four - cylinder in line to a double shot flat and four, shared with the Subaru BRZ close cousin and 200 c.

If it is not visible by its torque at low rpm, this engine helps to lower the center of gravity. In the Cup, this translates a conduct of life and easy so we established our "coup de Cœur trophy" in 2012. Taken into account at the design stage, the convertible variant promises hardly differ at this point, since Toyota announced distribution moderate overweight and always careful of the masses. We also find a small steering wheel and an order for short trips, as well as a choice of six-speed automatic transmission manual transmission. Finally, everything you need to the nightmares of a Mazda MX-5. If Toyota decides to really market this convertible GT86: Although the official version has the doubt, otherwise it would be more surprising.
