Taking advantage of the success enjoyed by the GT86 model, the Toyota engineers have decided to replace the fixed top with an electrically-operated soft one - in order to keep the weight down and maintain a reasonable price as well.

The given decision is accompanied also by a short description coming from the brand's officials, who have mentioned in the press release that the new concept "allows a feeling of oneness with the nature while maintaining the joy and sense of oneness with the vehicle".

The aesthetic aspect has not undergone major changes. We have to wait another few days to find out some more details as regards the technical upgrades, but we do not exclude the fact that it will be powered by the same 4-cylinder 200hp boxer engine.
