FT-86 to GT 86
The GT 86 started life as the Toyota FT-86 I Concept previewed at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009.
This concept evolved into the FT-86 II Concept, presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011, bringing it a step closer to production.
The production version, the GT 86 loses much of the Lexus LFA design cues to bring forth a stylish, less radical design. The addition of the 86 piston logo in the production version is a welcome change. The design is also distinct enough to distinguish it from its sibling the Subaru BRZ.

Design Sketches
We also have below a gallery of design sketches of the FT-86.
Though it would seem the GT 86 has lost much of the aggression of the FT-86, we would like to point out that the GT 86 looks characteristically Japanese, and the toned down aggression definitely seems to be working.
