Images of Toyota FT-86 official brochure - of the same kind that will be available at the upcoming 2011 Tokyo Motor Show - have surfaced on the internet. This particular brochure pictures the Modellista version, featuring several optional accessories such as slightly different aerodynamics and interior finishing. However, the images are good enough to give us an idea on how the long-awaited rear wheel drive coupe from the Japanese car-maker is going to look like.

These images were firstly anticiapated by CarSpyshots.com and then taken up by Spanish Autoblog.com, and are currently spreading all across the internet. Among the most significant details that can be spotted through these images there is the instrumentaion (featuring a rev counter right in the middle that redlines at 7500 rpm), the quite short automatic transmission lever, manual transmission paddle shifters and the pretty minimal dashboard console, that features a compartment for a possible touch-screen multimedia system. As for the exterior, FT-86 final design basically confirms what we had already seen before through concept cars and spy shots. The only notable differnce is that LED day lights have been integrated with the headlights, whereas the latest prototype had them built in the front bumper.

As for now it is still unclear wheather the model will maintain the FT-86 name (originally conceived as a tribute to AE-86 Trueno) or will eventually switch to a more commercial moniker, with the historic ‘Celica’ name rumored to be one of the strogest contenders.
