Despite Toyota building two GT 86 Convertibles to showcase at different auto events this year, Subaru denied the concept entering production too soon, as chopping the roof off the jointly-developed coupe will need unfeasible changes to make it safe on the road.
However, Subaru might have been offered a sneak peek at an upcoming sedan based on the BRZ/GT 86 platform through the Cross Sports Design Concept unveiled this year at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Talking with Motoring.com.au recently, a source close to Toyota also enforced the idea of a four-door sporty sedan, saying that “it’d be easy to bring the B-pillar forward, add a rear door and slant the rear roof section to create a viable sedan look.”
Moreover, the source also hinted at a 2-liter turbocharged engine to power the sedan that will be 510mm longer and 100mm taller than the current GT 86.
