Premiera na Tokio Motor Show
Cytuj:
The anticipation is over: the new Toyota GT 86 sports car makes its world debut at the 2011 Tokyo motor show. The compact 2+2 model, one of the most keenly awaited new cars of the coming year, will go on sale in the UK in June 2012.
The Toyota GT 86 has been conceived as an entirely driver-focused machine, designed to deliver the core qualities of the classic sports car experience. That means precise, instant response to the smallest throttle and steering inputs and the kind of performance that appeals to those for whom driving is a passion, not a necessity.
The Toyota GT 86 is built on a new platform, with a highly aerodynamic bodyshell stretched tight over the car's mechanical elements. Rather than fitting a heavy, large capacity powertrain, Toyota has opted instead to go back to its sporting roots, installing a compact, front-mounted, free-revving petrol engine that drives the rear wheels.
This four-cylinder "boxer" unit generates 197bhp at 7,000rpm and maximum torque of 205Nm at 6,600rpm, giving the Toyota GT 86 brisk, engaging performance.
The powertrain is matched to the world's most compact four-seat design to create a car that benefits from light weight, low inertia and a low centre of gravity to achieve the best possible power-to-weight ratio. For the driver that means lively, accessible performance and dynamic character with minimal intrusion from electronic systems.

The Toyota GT 86 measures 4,240mm long, 1,285mm high and 2,570mm wide, dimensions which make it the most compact four-seater sports car available today.

Fakt, że mogliby dać jeszcze jakiś mocniejszy, ale 200 KM z 2-litrowego boksera to przecież nie jest źle. Do tego można go kręcić do czerwonego pola i napędza wyłącznie tylne koła. Jednak podobno jego atutem ma być także cena więc nie ma co narzekać. Może w przyszłości dadzą jeszcze jedną jednostkę do oferty. Interesować się jest czym bo Toyota dawno nie wypuściła czegoś tak szalonego. 
Jeśli chodzi o wygląd mi się podoba poza oczywiście tylnymi światłami i dziwacznym spojlerem tylnej klapy
