The official Facebook page of the Dubai International Motor Show has announced that Toyota will showcase a sedan concept of the GT 86.
There have been talks of the possibility of seeing a sedan version of the Toyota GT 86 and now it appears that this will happen very soon. Toyota will show this sedan concept at the upcoming Dubai Motor Show, ahead of what will possibly be a 2014 or 2015 market release of a production model.
As per the previous reports, the car will use the same platform as the standard model but the wheelbase will be stretched by 3.9 inches (100mm) to increase space for those sitting in the back. Under the hood the power will be provided by the same 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine outputting 200 hp (149 kW) and 205 Nm (151 lb-ft) of torque.
There are also talks about a hybrid version featuring the technology seen in the Yaris Hybrid-R concept at IAA held in September this year. This one will allegedly be rates at 268 hp (200 kW) and is expected to be around 15 percent more economical than the standard model.
The production-ready Toyota GT 86 Sedan can be publicly introduced in March 2014 at the Geneva Motor Show.
