Default Tokyo Auto Salon 2010: G's Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept


Toyota has recently announced its G Sports conversion car series that will be sold through Toyota-brand dealers in Japan throughout 2010. These G's series vehicles are designed for owners interested in having a unique vehicle and several of them took center stage at Toyota's booth at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon. We have heard plenty about Toyota's FT-86 and the company's G's version stole the show. Dozens gathered around the car during exclusive media hours in order to see it up close and personal. Plenty of carbon fiber accents can be seen on this extremely stylish and polished design, making this FT-86 Concept even more impressive than the original.

Along with the standard carbon fiber goodies, there's a vented carbon fiber hood and a massive rear spoiler. We also noticed an aggressive new exhaust setup.

With this concept Toyota continues to build interest in the FT-86, which is believed will head to production shortly. The car is rumored to be powered by a 2.0-liter Subaru boxer engine with Toyota heads, delivering around 200-hp. Toyota is hoping this model will be a hit with enthusiasts, tuners and help get a younger demographic into its showrooms.

This is by-far one of the most tasteful "racer" versions I have ever seen. But I still like the concept better. The racer version takes all of the uniqueness out of the front-end and fenders. I still hope they make the concept the way it is and leave this to TRD or "G"

They've made it look like the car from Gran Turismo 5. I agree it is the most tasteful "racer" I've seen. However as you pointed out the high points of hte concept have been removed.
