Slippery Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Has anyone seen the new Toyota GT86 . Is this the one that is based on the supra. http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/generic_editorial.jsp?navRoot=toyota_1024_root&fullwidth=true&noLeftMenu=true&forceText=%3cnone%3e&edname=CC2-GT86-specification&id=CC2-GT86-specification&zone=Zone+GT86&sr=Mall Looks good but seems to lack in the power department.

Tyson Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Recap on the million times this has been mentioned before: Great handling car Not a supra replacement and if it was it would be a poor effort Nothing to do with the supra in any way shape or form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Search button man! People on here already drove them inc me, Subaru engine and not supra replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Whatever his name Toyoda, the president of Toyota said in a recent Autocar interview the GT86 is the first model. See it as a Celica replacement. The 86 in the name is a reference to the AE86. They see something below it and he said he would like to do a supra replacement at some point. Toyota have also announced a tie up with BMW to produce a large sports car. Guess we could be looking at a Supra based on a future 6 series platform?

You could be correct however a good friend of mine works for Toyota uk and he recently was talking to some guys from Toyota over seas, they told him the new supra is already in the pipeline and it's 100% Toyota but they have issues with emissions which is holding it up. I asked the guys at goodwood to confirm this which they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Toyotas keenness on hybrids I think it will be a strong possibility. We don't know what their target for emissions is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my book, hybrids and sports cars don't mix... Please God, don't let the GT-R be the last real Japanese sports car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look to Toyotas LM car for the clue.......... It's the only way they will be able to make a socially acceptable sports car with a big engine.

It's the only way they will be able to make a socially acceptable sports car with a big engine. I agree but, how about making a new sports car brand with a big engine socially acceptable and not ruining the Supra brand, which is known for much different things. Personally, i would never buy such a car and i think Toyota is making a massive mistake if all this is true. They could of hit the jackpot releasing a mean, tuning friendly, RWD MKV ( straight GT-R alternative). A lot of people are crazy about the MKIV, but i think few people are crazy about a Hybrid MKV. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Saw one of these today in the flesh and it looked lovely! Didn't know what it was at the time though. Thought it was some sort of L-FA/Corolla mash up ting! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've seen the GT86 driving around two times now. Twice today. They look real nice in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Is this based on the Supra? No, it's a complete new car made in conjunction with Subaru. It has a Subaru flat 4 engine (non turbo) with Toyotas latest fuel injection technology. Subaru will be selling the same car with slight styling differences. It's called the BRZ.
