C'mon Honda, let's get going on the next gen Honda Prelude!
The Toyota FT-86 Open concept, which you saw a preview sketch
of earlier, has finally been unveiled in its entirety through a load of
images, ahead of its Geneva show debut. The 86 convertible concept
features a soft top (as yet unclear if manual or electrically operated)
and 2+2 seating.
The concept’s goal is to gauge public reaction to the idea of an 86
convertible. By concept standards it actually looks pretty tame, which
could mean that the production car, if it happens, won’t stray very far
from this, visually at least.
Save for some high-contrast colours (coordinated by a Milan-based
designer, no less), yellow-gold stitching on the floor mats and seats,
and centre console-mounted gauges, the interior looks to be unchanged
from the 86 coupe‘s.
Toyota hasn’t said anything yet about specifications, but the 2.0
litre flat-four is likely to stay, kicking out 200 PS and 205 Nm of
torque. Like the coupe, manual and automatic transmissions should be
offered.
Prototype testing is already underway, according to the company. More
info to come when the wraps come off, which isn’t far away now.
