Toyota 86 convertible with the model couple, equipped with engines 2.0L Max. Power 7000rpm
Toyota 86 convertible hasn't had a convertible sports car since the MR2 was withdrawn from sale in 2006. The 86 is part of a plan by the company to shed its image as a conservative car maker and hark back to its sportier roots, which included the 2000GT, the Supra and the Celica.
The coupe version of the 86 is due to arrive in Australia in June this year, with pricing expected to start from about $35,000.
Toyota 86 convertible is pushing ahead with a droptop that's likely for production in 2014. The car is being previewed next month at the Geneva Motor Show, where it will be badged as the FT-86 Open Concept.
