The wait is finally over ! Toyota has unveiled photos and details regarding the production version FT-86 during the weekend. Europe and Japan will get the car under a new name, the GT 86, and as you can notice, some of the more aggressive looking features seen on the concept have replaced with slightly modified structures in order to make the car more appealing to a broader range of consumers.
