Toyota GT86 Convertible and Hybrid coming

How short the Toyota GT86 also still on the market, its public appeal in unprecedented. The GT86 is an unprecedented image-builder and knows the stuffy image of the Japanese manufacturer like snow in the sun disappears. This asks for more!

And more is coming. In different flavors. The first is fairly predictable: an extra fast Toyota GT86. But on the other hand, the concept before or again striking. It is because no extra powerful engine, but an electric motor providing additional power to deliver. And that makes us eager hand, because more power means more fun, but then it makes us very anxious. Hybrids, especially at Toyota, just not the most exciting cars. You can call it very boring. And thats something the GT86 precisely it has broken. Start the engine and hear the typical boxer rumble to life. Go stand on the gas and it roars over. Turn a little blipping back and a thud escapes from the exhaust. All things that you will not experience a hybrid. Toyotas development chef, Tetsuya Tada, opposite leaves Autocar that the Toyota GT86 250 hp should generate. And now all thumbs that Toyota obey.

GT86 Convertible
On a different tack the second newcomer to the GT86-stall it. That will be a real sun worshiper. Expect a fabric hood and a slightly softer tuning of the drive character. But otherwise the model will be identical to the ó so tasty and entertaining Toyota GT86 Coupe. Wait for the Convertible we do not incidentally. Insiders talk namely an unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show. In the hybrid version, we still have to wait, which is scheduled only for 2015.
