Last week we posted the unofficial / spy shot of the Toyota GT-86 convertible down in South Africa before it was shipped to the Geneva Auto Show for it’s anticipated reveal. At the time we speculated that the car was in SA to have its official beauty shots taken and after seeing the images below we now know that our sources were correct.
Toyota GT-86 Open Concept Car
Leaked ahead of its official unveiling at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show is the Toyota GT 86 Open Concept, a convertible variant of the North American Scion FR-S. The soft-top convertible is rumored to be electrically operated, and overall it looks just as one would expect: a sporty convertible version of the Scion FR-S. But with any convertible model, it’ll probably have a less-stiff chassis and weigh a bit more than its coupe counterpart, which for many is a small price to pay for such a stylish open-top sports car.
