The main rival of the new Toyota FT-86 Coupe is Volkswagen Scirocco, a model about which the Toyota engineers say is inferior. A first advantage is that the Japanese model has rear-wheel drive, while the Scirocco has taken a front-wheel drive from the Golf, and a second advantage is the Subaru experience in the maneuverability of premium models.

Toyota will unveil a version of the concept FT-EV II, that will be a base to a popular eco version of the iQ model. The speculation in recent months and sources inside Toyota, support an electric version of the iQ, ready to meet the demands of the urban public, who needs a relatively small range for everyday use.

The pre-production model that will be presented in Geneva, comes with an electric drive, powered by a lithium-ion battery pack located under the floor. According to the first information, the resources stored in the battery pack will be sufficient to provide a range of 105 kilometers.

The Japanese manufacturer hopes that the final version of the new Toyota iQ electric will be ready for debut in late 2011, and the sale of the first models is scheduled for the spring 2012.

With the launch of the alternative power, Toyota will launch a series of safety improvements to the passive safety level. Under the hood will be an electric engine with minimum performance, capable of delivering a range of 100 kilometers, thanks to a new generation of batteries that the Japanese manufacturer is developing beyond the current lithium-ion versions.

The first tests will start running next year, on the future markets where the iQ electric will be sold. With the introduction of the electric model with zero emissions on the European continent, Toyota will launch the same version in the U.S. and in Japan.

Moreover, if the Japanese officials will agree, the model could be sold to the Chinese market, where the audience becomes a growing appetite for electric vehicles.
