Toyota FT-86 Open Concept live show pictures

Live pictures from the Geneva motor show as a concept previewing the Toyota GT86 convertible debuts

Toyota has revealed its FT-86 Open Concept at the 2013 Geneva motor show. The white roadster previews a convertible version of its GT86 sports car, which is all but certain to make production.

The introduction of the convertible roof mechanism will no doubt add some additional bulk to the standard 1240kg GT86’s kerb weight – although Toyota has said that it will concentrate on keeping the weight of the roofless GT86 to a minimum, meaning the car should not creep much above 1300kg.  This means performance should not differ hugely from the GT86 coupe, with a 0-60mph time of around 7.7sec and a 135mph top speed good estimates for a manual-equipped car. Inside, the cabin is almost identical to the coupe, but as this is a concept it features a slightly garish white, blue and yellow interior colour scheme. A production-ready Toyota GT86 cabriolet would command a premium over the coupe, pricing it at around £27,000, with its key rivals ranging from top spec Mazda MX-5s to basic Nissan 370Z and Audi TT roadsters.
