Toyota GT 86 Convertible spotted in Cape Town

The Toyota GT86 was named as the best coupe in the 2012 Scottish Car of the Year Awards.

Inspired by the 2000GT and the AE86 and is powered by a free-revving 2.0-litre ‘boxer’ that powers the rear wheels and produces 147kW and 205Nm of torque. The 2+2 coupe 86 is available with a manual or automatic transmission and has a fuel consumption figure of 7.8-litres/100km for the manual and 7.1-litres/100km for the automatic. The car has since arrived in South Africa and is reasonably priced for sport car enthusiasts.

Recently, Toyota announced plans to introduce a GT 86 Convertible concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. That same car was spotted in South Africa, Cape Town, on Friday.  

Like the coupe, the convertible will be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer engine that develops 147 kW and 205 Nm of torque.

There's no details on when the convertible will be launched, but more details will probably be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.

The car was spotted by South Africa's Car Magazine and they managed to snap a photo.
