Close to five years after the rear-wheel drive sports coupe was originally unveiled, Toyota continues to toy with the idea of expanding the 86 line.
We’ve already seen a few different takes on the design including a roadster concept, and yesterday the company took the wraps off the 86 Shooting Brake Concept, which was created in collaboration with Toyota of Australia.
In classic shooting brake form, the concept takes the existing 86 shape and modifies it with with a gradually sloping roofline that ends in a taller hatchback opening. The idea is, of course, to add more utility than what the coupe version currently offers.
While this is just a concept at this point with no word of a production model, it doesn’t sound like it would be terribly hard to make the 86 Shooting Brake a reality if the demand was there.
What do you think? Would you choose the added utility and unique shooting brake style over the traditional 86 coupe?

This is really cool, I wouldn't mind owning one.
What do you get when you smash together an FR-S, Prius and CR-Z?
I kind of wish they made the convertible before this. Anyway I expect rear seat room should be a little better with this, because you would have to chop off adult legs to fit back there.
i would jump all over this. love wagons and hate 2/4 door cars. the small rear window is beautiful, although it looks more like a hatchback.
Toyota Caldina Facelift
Would soo want one of these with a rocketbunny kit
Toyota BMW clown shoe
At first I was all 'this is genetically modified mutation gone wrong' but it's grown on me a bit.
I would be down for a fastback but not this hatchback
I'd rather have a sedan!
the rear kinda looks like it has design cues of the mazda 3 hatch. but i would really get one over the coupe. more practical but still fun. never knew why shooting brakes, hatches, and wagons never caught on in america. these look genuinely cool.
So they made a Veloster. Not a single improvement here, move on. They made the car 100% blind in the rear and 25% or more of the rear "window" is fake plastic pieces.
Speedhunters or just bring back the WRX hatchback

I am all for this! Especially seeing how I just rendered a stanced 2017 GT86, this fits right in (notesandtabs.com/automotive-blog/toyota-86-render)!
The nose is too long, cut off like 9 inches and this would be amazingly sexy
Speedhunters would make me very happy.
JovanWebb I agree
Never liked the frs/ gt86/ brz platform but I have a huge boner for this. Perfect daily.
The rear was a hugely redeemable feature of the 86, and I cannot shake a Mazda3/CR-Z variant "made in China" feel. Just sits so wrong with me.
JosiahMcKinney nice work.
It really looks like somebody took gt86 front and swap with a crz.
Of course this is already in the pipeline! I had weekend plans for the render.
Ahem.. It's Toyota you know...
Speedhunters #thanks for sharing about concept, have a great Saturday
shooting brake or not, 200 hp is not enough! Nice car, small engine.
A liftback Toyota. You did it with the Celica, Scion Tc, and the OG AE86, why can't you pull your head out and give the 86 one?
And a 2.5 liter, not asking much.
Looks great! A bit CRZ.
Happily have one. It has a certain "Reliant Schimitar" to it (a personal favourite)
A really large and complex insurance bill?
It does remind me of the Toyota Caldina GT-Four, they should revive that model back
It looks kind of bulgy and unnatural, maybe if there was more slope on the trunk similar to the original 86 hatch, definitely like the idea though
Ugly! who the hell design that concept? satan?
Can it hold an extra set of wheels in the boot? If yes then it is perfect.
Lol, when you put it that way...
Bonnet/Nose looks a little long for the car now. Also that tiny fake window that can't be seen is just kinda pointless also like the Lexus CT's.
If they made it they would sell a boat load
Makes me think Hyundai Veloster
It's never gonna happen. They won't even make a sedan on that platform. I can't see why this is any more likely to materialise other than some renders. Toyota is a world leader in mothballed concepts.
biohazardnico yeah, but that thing is much cornier than this rendering.
It´s a GT86 with an Honda CRZ roof xd
I still like how everyone complains about the lake of power. It is supposed to be kind of a homage to the ae86 which was heavily under powered. Its not supposed to be able to beat a mustang in a drag race that's not the point. Its kinda like the mx5, as in not a fast car but a fun to drive car. I love this concept but the rear visibility looks great reduced with that tiny window and slanted roof.
Toyota CRZ86?!
Just realised its a Lexus IS 300 that's been squashed.
Only realised it squinting at the back of one in traffic just now...
The ass end looks weird, they need to take some design cues from the FF and F-Type concept on how to design a rear window.
And that blank space between the rear wheel arch and the window is disgusting. Squash it down some.
Looks like honda CR-Z from the side!
stupid
I like it! Would love to see YasidDesign's take on one of these...
Does it still have a homo pipe from the induction pipe to the footwell or did Toygayru fix that?
Looks like the Triumph Lynx that was never built back in the late 70's
Hey a Toyota Veloster. Should have chucked the Lexus CT rear end on there. Just transplant the lights and diffuser.
If anything needed to be made into a shooting brake it's the Porsche Panamera. The concept they had for that a few years ago is a million times better than this or the Panamera. As far as this one goes, it needs to be reworked so that you can actually see out of the back. This adds some utility, but take away usability at the same time. They could extend the rear window downward like a Volvo C30 to correct this. http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Oem65IzGS88/UGMivjGHcaI/AAAAAAAJN5g/X9DDK0WZR50/s1600-h/Porsche-Panamera-Sport-Turismo-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg
Modern day AE82 corolla gts fx16?
They should make a convertible before messing with a shooting brake.
I like the idea, but I don't like the trend of c-pillars pointing in the wrong direction. I would rather like to see something similar to the BMW M-coupe.
looks kinda cool but also reminds me of a Renault Megane
Slappy_Pistons They have a driving model. Got unveiled in Canberra, Australia on friday. I saw the concept in person on Saturday at the Festival of 86.
DaveOliver Slappy_Pistons They have driving models of many concepts that never lived. I won't say I'll eat my hat if they make it, but I'd be very surprised.
TheWedgeShop I don't really see the similarities but yes, another potentially good car denied existence by the hideous mismanagement of the British car industry.
Oh yes!
I agree, but just like the M-coupe this thing is cool but ugly as fuckkk!!! Lol which is why i want it. But the bmw was in a totally different level in terms of performance.
JosiahMcKinney Out with it! nice work btw.
Somebody fix this! Please photochoppers, do your thing.
Despite the internet car nerd's obsession with them, shooting brakes are still ugly and relatively pointless.
You can head over to our instagram @notesandtabs to see a sneak peak of the renders coming on Monday.
They should spend their time making the 86 more poweful from factory rather than creating odd things like this Honda CRZ-resembling concept.
I don't think a gt-86 is classy enough to be a "shooting break" What farmer/countryman would have a gt-86 instead of a big merc or jag to sit on the tail of?
Someone knows his cars! Damn, son!
The cut to the back window perhaps? And call me a philistine but I always thought the Lynx had more than a passing resemblance to the Rover SD1........
No, actually I prefer coupe. I never ever buy something like this shooting brake concept.
Why??
Darkclark Just they need to replace the engine with a 73 KW hybrid one. and they will sell a boat load !
This looks... somewhat terrible. Just why? The original AE-86 never had anything like this.
Shooting brakes should stick to being made by Mercedes or BMW.
Shooting brake? Dumbest name...can we just stick to wagon/station wagon as this silly name(and I know it has a meaning) doesn't make it sound any better or more sporty.
Ugly as sin....like the ugly inbred sibling of a Veloster and a CRZ. *Waits for the influx of rocket bunny photoshops to appear across the internet, sigh.
Why? Toyota you already made this!
here's an idea toyota, stop screwing around with shit that nobody cares about & make the factory turbo model that almost everyone actually wants & what you should've had from the get go
really nobody should hate this. this could be a great opportunity for toyota to reclaim itself as an enthusiasts' car company. this could possibly make up for a lack of a proper sports car like the supra. maybe this would actually look better with wide body kits than the coupe.
I bet it would! In fact, I rendered a few over the weekend. Check them out at Notesandtabs.com on Monday!
awesomefearwave I agree. I know I would totally buy something like this. It's a red 2 door wagon for pete's sake! Maybe Toyota can be cool again!
awesomefearwave sorry, I meant to write rwd, not red...
@Mike http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/05/toyota-gt86-convertible-on-indefinite-hold/
It's no more a shooting break than a VW Scirocco or Volvo C30
The DLO is the most expensive part to engineer and manufacture on the vehicle. If they were to offer this they would need to use the same roof structure with only a different exterior skin surface and only one new piece of rear glass. Concept should use most of the same roof lines, at a minimum the same door window and rear quarter glass.
Spaghetti You need to do some research behind the name son.
@Ls the CT is a hybrid HATCHBACK
Spaghetti the name "shooting brake" was already exist before cars do.....lack of research pal -_-
rbliberty08 your comment is harsh than others.....try something else
VictoryLapGaming actually the original 86 did come in hatch or trunk body styles... Go back to gaming
@Jo Cool awesomefearwave it's red too, you're right
EythanAldrich please explain how the above gt-86 is not a 3 door hatchback
EythanAldrich
My idea ended up looking like a civic-kinda thing, so I understand how difficult shooting brake proportions are, but I think the two most important details to be changed would be the c-pillar and the too slanted roofline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXsrPKpQ_gI
EythanAldrich Spaghetti but he still right, there is no longer point to use that term, and it sounds terribly archaic and non sporty, why they didnt call it 2+2?... well, maybe if they do a design with a more equilibrated sillohuette it could be called that way...
Toyota GT Breadvan
Take that dumb-ass little black triangle off the very back of the C-pillar and it would be perfect.
That said, at least their trying.
This is strange because I love hatchbacks and wagons....but I'm not sure I like this look...maybe it'll grow on me idk
Good idea. The rearward leaning C-pillars seem off. IT evokes that Lexus hybrid hatch and the cr-z.
If you're gonna make a present day shooting brake at least put a panoramic sunroof on it, starting at the windshield. I know that it will add weight, but the crammed one and a half persons in the back will receive some additional comfort, making it feel less claustrophobic (if utility is what we are after).
Man this thing is ugly! Come on, even the Merc A Class shooting brake looks better. Who's the one responsible of this Toyota? It was unhappy with the Easter bonus? :)))
At certain angles it reminds me of a longer wheel based, low roof Honda EG..lol! That thing is FUGLY!
This concept looks awful! I love hot hatches and think a fun, affordable Toyota Hatch would be well received by the market and tuner community... but no this one.
Knowing Toyota, they would make it FWD though. :/
Very few people actually love cars for pure driving enjoyment. They buy cars to 'win' against other drivers on the road. Slow sales of the brz/ft86 prove it. People today buy cars for outright power, to boost their ego. They're not car enthusiasts at all - they just want a way to beat people at something.
I love the concept but the proportions are off, the hood line doesn't flow through the rest of the car like for example the side profile of a CRX. I think the nose is just too low to take C pillars on to of the rear rear without some sort of staggered stance.
YES
To elaborate, I would buy this. I have two kids so why do I have to buy overpriced, luxury, maintenance hogs to get RWD and a decent back seat. My RX-8 fit the bill nicely with a useable back seat, trunk space, and a sporty profile but there just wasn't room in this world for a 232 hp car and 16 mpg. The whole Takata airbag fiasco made me buy something else after an irresponsible motorcyclist rammed into me and totaled it. The new Mazda5 I got does everything well, but I just feel like there's a sports car missing from my life.
This would fit the bill nicely, since the current FR-S/BRZ's rear seat is useless. There's no point in making the compromises on seat and storage space on this car unless it's more competitive performance-wise.
I rather like the Shooting brake concepts like the Ferrari FF. I like BMW Wagons, but I just hate dealing with stupid maintenance issues that shouldn't happen--of which has been my experience with every European marque I've owned.
Sign me up!
MAKE IT DRIFTABLE and make some vids plz of it
I love everything about it except the front end. Give it a more Altezza/IS300 front end, bump displacement to 2.2 or 2.4 litres and I'd gladly eat instant noodles every month just to have one in my driveway.
i think.....
there is a silent contest to see who can say shooting brake the most and act like they've always used the term
ehhh no. id still take the coupe
To hone logic, supported with open minds and a lot to learn. For logic that is already extensive, balance it with humility
