Toyota GT 86 Modellista Concept Goes Futuristic: 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon
As if the Toyota GT 86 wasn’t stylish or sporty enough, the folks at Modellista decided to give the sports car a futuristic touch in order to make it more stylish and sporty.
Transforming the front end of the vehicle, Modellista outfitted its 86 Concept with a whole new body kit while a black roof accents the bright, red exterior. The black and red theme continues in the cockpit also with glossy-painted accents and reupholstered seats.

The GT 86 is also slightly lower thanks to a set of springs while the custom 18-inch wheels are supposed to give a “sense of movement like bird feathers flying in the sky.” Performance figures seem to be factory, as all the modifications were done with style and aesthetics in mind.
