The Geneva Auto Show officially starts today, but that didn’t stop Toyota from getting a bit of pre-show attention before hand. No, it wasn’t the debut of yet another boring Camry or RAV4 but the company’s newest attempt at a very hot sports coupe. Yup, we’re talking about the FT-86 II.

You’ll remember the original FT-86 in posts spanning back a year and a half. In 2009 Toyota revealed this concept  that was being jointly produced with Subaru, claiming it was their ticket back into the sport coupes category, better known internally as the ‘this goes against everything our dependable, mid-sized, mid-aged sedans stand for’ category.

The FT-86 II builds on the original concept, but we don’t really know much else besides that. This small snapshot, however, shows drilled rotors and a very aggressive front fascia including a carbon fiber splitter and Audi-esk LED eyeliner. Despite the fact that this car will be revealed in full very soon, we like to speculate and think that the FT-86 II will be a more aggressive and performance-oriented version of Toyota’s coupe we already love so much.
