Frankfurt Motor Show is happening right now, and well a modern motor show would not be complete without Toyota’s ever tantalizing FT-86. Here, then, is the car in its latest state as a FT-86 II — colored red. It’s pretty and, of course, you still can’t buy one, even if you can afford it.

It’s bewildering to think that I first saw a Japanese magazine render of the FT-86 in 2007. It is as if Toyota has invented glacial time and the idea of the permanent concept car. Every year, they add in new trends to the concept, wondering when they will finally decide to sell it. “Ah, day light LEDs are the new trend, let’s place some into the concept!” “Big mouth design is digging now, let’s do it too!” “Oh! Let’s not forget that badass diffuser!”

Perhaps the plan with the FT-86 is to leave it in permanent beta, to develop a version for every major auto show, until every AE86 owner dies of sadness. A strange way to make cars, but hey, it’s certainly a revolution of sorts. This car better be good!
