Watch the Toyota FT-86 Open on the Move, Plus Official Details and 30 Photos



Following last night's premature reveal, Toyota has officially presented its new GT86 / Scion FR-S-based FT-86 Open concept, just days before we get to see in the flesh at the 83rd edition of the Geneva Motor Show.

Besides a more comprehensive and higher-resolution image gallery, Toyota also published the first video of the car on the move and initial specifications.

It only takes a quick look at the pictures to see that the FT-86 Open is more of a pre-production model than a concept, something that even Toyota admits, adding that it created the car "to test the water for the possible introduction of a convertible version".

Aimed at the likes of the successful Mazda MX-5, the FT-86 Open replaces the GT86's (FR-S) fixed hard-top with a multi-layered fabric roof with a glass rear screen. Unlike the Mazda, however, the Toyota model has the same 2+2 seating format as the coupe, which can be a bonus feature for many buyers.
