The Toyota concept sports car, FT-86, has been given the go-ahead and will come to life as a production model by November 2011.

This will signal an early production of the vehicle, as Toyota initially said they would release FT-86 by 2013. So Toyota luxury car fans; you're getting a present two years early!

Toyota's also confirmed the all-important factor that can make the difference in sales and support for this coupe: the pricing.

The new luxury car will come with a wide range of prices, depending on its specifications. A middle-of-the-pack FT-86 will be about $29,000. This means that an entry-level version will be available for around $20,000, making the car affordable for a public that hasn't got a strong financial background to support the desire for a sports car.

Toyota is also offering motor head enthusiasts a huge relief, as the company said that the coupe will not include any hybrid technology at first. However, Toyota is also currently also working on a hybrid performance vehicle, which may or may not follow up the FT-86.

The Japanese auto maker made it clear that the coupe will include a few new visual enhancements, but it will keep its overall shape - as a two door, fastback Japan-based sports car.
