Toyota teases the FT-86 Open concept

Toyota will present this concept at the Geneva Motor Show to assess the public's reaction to the convertible version of the GT-86. From what we can see it will keep four seats but we don't know if it will come with a soft-top or a hard-top.

Production isn't confirmed yet, but it seems Toyota is already testing the car pointing to a possible production version to come out this year.

2014 Audi S3 convertible caught testing in the snow

Slowly the German brand introduces new variants of the A3, but before that each vehicle has to be tested in low and high temperatures. And that is what we have here, the Audi A3 convertible, but this time it isn't based on the hatchback but on the soon to be introduced sedan.

And this is also the fastest version, the S3, that will have a new 2.0liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine with 296hp and 380Nm (280lb/ft) of torque. This engine will be available with a manual or a dual-clutch transmission, possibly with the four-wheel drive quattro system.

One advantage of being based on the A3 sedan, which rides on a larger MQB platform, is the bigger space for luggage and rear passengers

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 convertible in the Geneva Motor Show

Seems like the convertible version of the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will have its public presentation at this years Geneva Motor Show starting from March 7. This means the convertible will go on sale later this year. And it isn't the first time Chevrolet introduced the convertible version of the Corvette in Europe. In 2004 the sixth-generation Corvette convertible had his premiere in Geneva.

Nothing is confirmed, but the engine is expected to be the same from the coupe, a new 6.2liter LT1 V8 engine with an estimated 450hp (335 kW) and 610Nm (450 lb/ft) of torque connected to a seven-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. The new convertible should retain the fabric top. We should also find out the prices for Europe.
