Just for some weekend fun, here’s a Theophilus Chin rendering of how the Toyota FT-86 Concept would look like as a four door.

Sometime last year there was a report in Autocar UK that Toyota is considering a small rear wheel drive sports sedan based off the FT-86 sedan as an “insurance policy” or some kind of safety net if the coupe doesn’t sell well enough.

      Dude, the car looked damned funny in sedan :)
      I prefer the coupe version.
      There are many good sedan cars to choose other than this one.

    Ford Fiesta design far greater than this rendering concept of Toyota FT-86.

  • elements of the B pillar in the rendered images are inconsistent.

          Those people created these images, just like those people making Peugeot 206 sedan as 207 sedan with 207 front.

          how RUDE can u get?

          i agree with alpha999… i mean, theo’s just doing this for sh!ts for our viewing pleasure. and all you can do is kutuk… inconsistent this la, no rear seat la, back door too small la. not even a compliment.

          FFS it’s just a RENDERING, whereby this is the best option for u to see the concept come to life! not to scrutinize it like a bloody engineer.

          i think theo has done a great job to bring something else to this site. DK if u’re gonna knock on ppl’s design, have the etiquette to at least compliment first and soften your comment.

          i’m all for constructive criticism la, but definitely not NIT-PICKING.

          thank u theo keep up the good work.

    • Yah.. agree with DK. Perhaps it’ll look cooler with the hidden door handle for the back doors.. aka Alfa Romeo. =) I’m sure it’s a seller… kinda like a ‘poor man”s panamera or rapide. Haha… !

      I agree, its due to inconsistency….

      the 1st and 2nd image are weird, but the 3rd is look good…

      and agree with CY of alfa handle thing….

      Believe Theo can do it better… :)

      I agreed. This FT-86 sedan is mainly made for countries where sedans are favoured.

      Not as ugly as Peugeot 408 sedan. This FT-86 sedan looks better.

      Saloons and hatchbacks do not have 3rd row seats, limousines and station wagons and MPVs (minivans) have.

    And all along i had thought that the altezza was supposed to be toyota’s small sports saloon before it was put on a lexus diet.

    Next Altezza perhaps…

      This is the next generation Corolla. We expect the next generation Corolla will see the return of the coupe, and they will go back to United Kingdom, where the current Corollas are not available.

    People who gave irrelevant comments didn’t get criticised, whereas those who gave contructive opinions did. Funny? Smile and be polite, then you can do whatever you want(diam-diam) and people will still say you are good.
    BTW, I wish I could have the time and skill to draw these drawings but sincerely speaking I think something is not quite right on the outlook, need to modify a bit to make it more cantiq.
