Word has it Japanese automaker Toyota has approved production of the GT 86 four-door sedan. This piece of information comes via Auto Express, who claims, citing “inside sources”, that the vehicle will ride on the same platform as the GT 86 sportscar, but use a 100mm longer wheelbase.
What’s more, the sedan will feature Toyota’s “keen-look” grille design and will go on sale by the end of 2015 with prices starting from £28,000. As we learned from past reports, the GT 86 sedan will be powered by the already familiar 2.0-liter boxer engine rated at 197 HP, but will become available with the company’s new Hybrid R powertrain as well. The latter will reportedly deliver between 250 and 270 bhp.

We still don’t know how the sedan version of the GT 86 will look like, but Theophilus Chin’s recent rendering should be pretty close to the real thing.
