Toyota Teases its “New” Frankfurt-Bound FT-86 II Concept in New Video

Toyota Teases its “New” Frankfurt-Bound FT-86 II Concept in New Video:


The rear-drive FT-86 II concept that Toyota will bring to the 2011 Frankfurt auto show may share its name and basic shape with the FT-86 II and FT-86 concepts shown at this year’s Geneva auto show and 2009′s Tokyo auto show, but will apparently be a new iteration. To amp up FT-86 fans, Toyota has released a teaser video of the “new” FT-86 II concept that shows people designing and painting the car. From the glimpses of the car in the clip, it doesn’t look radically different from the last FT concept, but then that car wasn’t a massive departure from the one before it, either. We think the alleged newness of this concept warrants a name change to FT-86 III, but we’ll have to wait and see just how different it is from the previous FT concepts—and the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, for that matter. Eventually—at the Tokyo auto show later this year—we will finally see a production version.
