Toyota Australia release a feel good commercial featuring none other than the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya himself driving the new 86. Shipping him off the land down under to create the greatest track.

During the unveiling of the GT-86 at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show Toyota design chief Dezi Nagaya filmed a detail behind the scenes about designing the GT-86. The video is split into four parts: 2000GT heritage, exterior design, interior design and the 86 logo. Chief engineer Tetsuya Tada also give viewers an exclusive interview about the upcoming car.

The 86/FR-S/GT-86 (god wish they would have simplify the name) is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated cars in the car scene. Enthusiasts are starving for a truthful, well filmed review of the new sports car. Leave it up to Chris Harris to deliver the goods, with limited amount of track time Chris lets his viewers know if it was worth the wait.

Even after hitting the mother load of information about the upcoming FR-S /FT-86, more information leaked about the car. FT86Club leaked out several pages detailing the exact specifications and key features of the car. Interestingly a full list of TRD parts that will be available for the FR-S / FT-86 were also leaked out.

Seriously can Toyota stop teasing us and release the production version of the FR car already?! Last week Scion debuted their take on the FT-86 at the New York Auto Show 2011 and damn it’s hot! I usually don’t care about Scions but they did a great job altering the FT-86 using their design language. I thought the second FT-86 concept was pretty good but the FR-S makes the old concept look boring. If my memory is correct, the production version of the FT-86 will debut at this years Tokyo Motor Show. Pictures after the jump.

Originally shown at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, the FT-86 has been generating a lot of interest from the car community. It’s no secret that Toyota has been absent from the sport car scene for many years now so their return into the sports car market has many people excited, including myself. During the 2011 Geneva Motor Show Toyota unveiled its latest FT-86 concept with many changes to the car’s body. Toyota Europe is targeting a release date of 2012 so we can expect to see production ready versions of the FT-86 very soon!
