The new GT 86 is based on an entirely new platform and features a low,
highly aerodynamic bodyshell. Under the hoof it will get the same engine
as its Subaru sibling: a 2.0 liter, naturally-aspirated petrol engine.
However, for the Toyota model this engine will only deliver 300 HP,
while Subaru has promised that their model will go up to about 300 HP.
Customers will have to choose between a six-speed manual or six-speed
automatic transmission.
The car’s exterior design remains pretty much similar to the FT-86 II
concept. This means an enlarged lower grille, bold "Soprion" styling to
the lower grille, 17" wheels, a rear spoiler, twin rear exhausts and the
"86" piston logo. But while the exterior is strictly oriented to
sportiness, the interior is also offering a business allure and as
Toyota promised is entirely driver-focused.
