Toyota releases official information on new GT 86

November 29, 2011 By Amir Iliaifar

Check out these official pictures and specs of the new Toyota GT 86.

Get excited and rev your engines, the first official photos and specs of the eagerly anticipated Toyota FT-86 (now the GT 86) have finally been released courtesy of Toyota’s UK office. Needless to say we have been excited about this car for over a year now, and with official photos and specs for the upcoming two-seater, rear-wheel drive, sports car, to look over well, we’re more than tickled pink.

While some of the info here has already been speculated, it’s still a joy to see official information drop from Toyota itself. The new GT 86 will feature a 2.0-liter boxer with D4-S injection. The engine will pump out 197 hp and 151 lb-ft torque. Drivers will be able to choose between a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and can expect a standard 17-inch wheel/tire package out the gate.

Toyota UK has announced that the GT 86 will go on sale in the UK next June. Expect more information to trickle through as the Tokyo Motor Show continues.

jesterking at 5:39am 30th November 2011 Looks like a Hyundai Tiburon if you ask me...
1. TechFreak at 10:45am 30th November 2011 This is the Toyota version of that new Subaru concept you like right? The non-WRX without the turbo/super charger?
  1. jesterking at 12:09pm 30th November 2011 I believe so... but the styling is ever so slightly different. Besides, I never said I didn't like the way a Tiburon looked. I used to own one. So maybe that's why it reminds me of one of them ;)
    TechFreak at 1:05pm 30th November 2011 Ya, I agree, it does look like the Tiburon (which looked awesome, but was underpowered IMO).
    jesterking at 4:12pm 30th November 2011 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Underpowered... It is so underpowered that owners of them constantly make jokes about how slow them are...
    TechFreak at 8:17pm 1st December 2011 Could you add any aftermarket mods though? Super chargers, Turbos etc? Did they even make them for the Tiburon?
    jesterking at 8:22am 5th December 2011 Oh yeah! The supercharging scene was pretty big for the v6. Turbo wasn't really all that large (because it was more of a pita to install) for the i4. Still, for the v6, what good is adding another 20-30 hp with a supercharger, when you start out with 174hp? Not to mention the reliability of those cars are horrible... I had mine in the shop for as long as 3 months at a time.
