Toyota S-FR Concept announced!

Pole Position
The pano roof option alone would have added serious money. The platform probably isn't cheap either to support such a roof and handle some loss of rigidity. It will probably start around $19,999 with cheap painted Tupperware interior.

it will likely be single spec like FR-S... so $20k would be nice actually, i wouldnt mind that price.

Toyota S-FR Becomes a Lean, Mean Racing Machine for Tokyo Auto Salon 2016
With its sporty yet simple design, the Toyota S-FR turned heads when it made its global premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. Now, Toyota GAZOO Racing plans to reimagine the concept as a track-ready race car at Tokyo Auto Salon 2016, a customized-car exhibition running from January 15 through 17.
Alongside the new Toyota S-FR concept, Toyota will be exhibiting two new souped-up minivans: the Voxy G's Concept and Noah G's Concept.
Toyota S-FR Racing Concept
With wide flared fenders, eye-catching hood vents, and use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic canards and front/rear spoilers, this concept represents Toyota's vision of the S-FR as a performance vehicle born for the racing circuit. While the model displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show had simple, familiar styling, the Toyota S-FR Racing Concept aims for a more aggressive look.
In addition to the S-FR Racing Concept and the G's minivans, Toyota will also be displaying vehicles that have participated in the 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race since 2007, as well as vehicles that took part in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the All-Japan Rally Championship in 2015.
Toyota sees Tokyo Auto Salon as an excellent opportunity to promote car culture, and to engage with car fans in order to turn their feedback into ever-better products. The event will be held at Makuhari Messe, Chiba, with an industry and press day on January 15, followed by public days on January 16 and 17.

Toyota S-FR Concept Ditches The Roof In The Virtual World
Only a few days separate us from the world debut of Toyota’s S-FR Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
But while the automaker chose to showcase the car as a coupe, many people wondered what the S-FR would look like without a roof, since the study has a very similar footprint to theMazda MX-5.
Fortunately, we don’t have work our imagination too hard as Photoshop manipulator Theophilus Chin has already chopped the roof off the S-FR (virtually), turning it into a roadster.
Before we let you decide if the Toyota S-FR roadster can make a worthy Mazda MX-5 rival from a styling point of view, you must know that the production model is expectedto feature a similar powertrain as the base Miata.
The S-FR will reportedly be powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Rated at around 130hp, the engine should give the S-FR decent performance, considering that the small sports car will weigh under one tonne.
