Toyota is currently working on a convertible version of the GT-86/Scion FR-S sports coupe. Not long ago this was a rumor, but it’s become evident that Toyota product planners fully intend on going forward with the plan in order to broaden the car’s appeal. Specifically, they’re targeting the Mazda MX-5, which is due for a redesign very soon.
Some inside sources also told Car and Driver that Toyota is looking to stretch the sports car’s platform a bit in order to build a small rear-wheel-drive sedan or an even larger two-door coupe. The GT-86/FR-S convertible will likely be on the market for 2014, right after the debut of the new MX-5.
