After three years in development, Toyota's next heir to its sportscar lineage is finally ready to break cover. What once known as the FT 86 concept has been aptly renamed the GT 86 - Toyota's interpretation of the ultimate driver-focused machine.
Toyota returned to the simple front-engined rear-wheel-drive sportscar formula that gave birth to the nameplates AE86, Celica, MR2, and 2000 GT. The equation begins with a compact Subaru-derived 2.0L four-cylinder boxer engine that's mounted on a lightweight chassis as low as and far back possible to achieve a near-perfect 53/47 weight distribution. Then add 197 horses and 205 Nm to the rear wheels via a limited slip diff and you've got the blueprint for a true driver's car. And while ABS and vehicle stability control threatens to alienate drive skill from the brew, don't fret because Toyota designed these systems to function with minimal intervention.....

colors do make a difference
When it comes to performance cars, the angry purr of V6 and rumble of V8 (and so on) is all I can relate to power. My adrenalin simply don't respond well with the 4L sound and its 200hp. Well, maybe we spread sand on the tarmac first to smoke it. I can't emagine bringing a puppy in weekend pitbull run.
No buzz here after the announcement of the confirmation of sale here in the Philippines? TMPH should take this as a sign of caution for their pricing. Not less than 2M ang projected price nito sa atin, which is asking for too much IMO. Toyota Motor Philippines to launch 86 sports car 'quite soon' - News | TopGear.com.ph
who copied what? i don't see any 86/BRZ in a GTR...what i see in this Nissan GTR is a masculine version of Nissan 350Z..
Toyota did copied the 86 design from the Lexus LFA, it's obvious you can see the lines, specially on the front.. and i don't see any problem with that since they are under one "FAMILY"...
now, time to save money...![]()
Okay nayang pricing nayan..At least di kasing over priced ng Mazda MX-5.
TopGear ph site update. Less than 2m daw pala.. They were quick to change that haha.
So there's an article in kotse.com that claims TMP will be bringing this here, limited to 20 units only. 1.5m daw price.
why? what's wrong with subaru's 2.0 engine? you do realize that the old STi's used a 2.0 engine? also the brz is one of the best handling cars available in the market it even handles better than the impreza wrx STi and evo. it is said that the handling is very close to lotus exige.it's a car that proves you can enjoy driving without needing too much power, it's a car that makes your master your cornering skills instead of worrying about lap times.
here it is against the mustang.
i really don't get why people worry too much about horsepower, i'd rather have a slow car that handles really well and brings out the drivers skills than a fast one that makes anyone look like a great driver i.e. gt-r.
^ Yeah. Though the "20 units" is utter nonsense man. I called up an agent an hour after I read the article (contacted an SA around 10am) Hindi sila nag a-accept ng reservations while seemingly knowing nothing about its arrival this June! The SA forwarded this to the management and they said na the 20 units were all accounted for and already had "owners". I said kahit I waitlist lang nila ako and i'll pay the reservation fee, incase na may mag backout pero hindi parin nila tinanggap LOL.
Well good luck trying to get one of the 20. Looks like pinilahan na to ng Toyota management before pa malaman ng public.
Anyway if anyone can hook me up with an M/T unit, preferably white, don't hesitate to swing me a PM.
