The stylistic differences between the Toyota FT-86 presented at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009 and the FT-86 II, presented recently at the Geneva Motor Show, and many are readily apparent. But because the prototype has changed so much within a year and a half? The changes were dictated by the feedback from testers who took him on the road.
The adjustments have been concentrated in the nose, now higher, and especially in the front pillar, whose bottom port has been moved back almost 10 cm (!) Compared to the original position. The result is a significantly less inclined windshield, accompanied by other measures of detail as those that affected the rear and front bumper, renovated with LED lights that resemble those of the FT-HS Concept 2007.
Akihiro Nagaya, Toyota design manager, has revealed to Autocar that the concept of Geneva provides a "good sign" appearance of the model series, which will be presented at the Tokyo Motor Show next month in December. "We can say that for 50% is the production car, but not an exaggeration to speak of 70%." Nagaya has also provided additional interesting information on the new coupe.
