New Toymota "sports" Car

[scotty nm35]

A supercharger or turbo on a 12:1 engine? Perhaps with ethanol, otherwise you would need to decompress the engine. I cant see a manufacturer doing either as a kit, perhaps a lower compression factory TRD engine will find its way in there eventually?

TRD would throw a minimum 10k-15k on top of the RRP - plenty of room to throw some low comp pistons in there.

I'm surprised they're not putting in the turbo version of the 86/BRZ engine that's making it's way into the latest Subaru Legacy

anyone think it would look way better with a small wing on the back, slightly larger for the gts model?

designed like the 180 type x wing or an gt type r s15 wing? i think they would look mad compared to nothing and the huge thing there've designed. photoshop someone?

Saw a white one today.

Dowant.

We received our orange one yesterday and it looks pretty damn nice in person. Have seen white, black and orange and i think i would pick white out of those three. Still waiting to see our blue one though...

[Tai1or Made]

Really don't care what colour.

Just want one.

With 3 pedals.

saw a black one yesterday. so now i've seen both a white and black one, both on transporters. yet to see one actually driving, lol

[*LOACH*]

I have seen a couple here in Japan but the only modded ones have been at car shows. They aren't nearly as popular as I was hoping they were going to be and I am often around Aichi prefecture (where they are made). Doesn't bode well for a new Supra.

we have had 3 through work so far, a red one, orange and a white(looks the best of the 3 imo)..... though they were all auto so im not driving one till we finally get a man

you might be suprised with the auto, i have driven both in GTS trim and would be happy with either

[blonk20]

well either way they are allready at the showroom now so until we get another, though all the guys i work with that have driven it said they were not overly impressed with it

The new ad aired last night - features the Drift King - Keiichi Tsuchiya...

Toyota also launched their microsite for the car yesterday - www.rawdriving.com.au

And also check out this interesting layout for the 86 specs and features on the website. It's one continuous feature display as you keep scrolling down. http://www.toyota.com.au/86?WT.ac=Toyota_GlobalNav_Cars_86

Really don't get the dislike for this car, it is completely opposite to the R35 for example, but it was not meant to be a 4wd turbo heavy weight electronically assisted box full of trickery. This car was always pegged to be a fun, light, cheap car that could be then be tuned if the owner wanted to, a car that did not rely on ESP, stability, dual clutch etc etc. I wouldn't mind betting the people whining about this thing achieving its goal probably also whinged because the Gtr doesn't have a third pedal, and weighs 1700kgs.. I am not rushing out to buy an 86, but if I came up with an excuse and the money I would be at Toyota.

I was referring to the 370z....

Won't take long for the bolt ons to arrive.

[luke gtr]

So far I've seen white and red on the road, and orange at an audio shop.

Want the white, looks hoooooot!

Seem to be selling well though toyota isn't offering that many for supply. One friend who works at a toyota dealership said their stocks are sold for the next 2 years another mate who went and test drove the car found the soonest he could get was 6 months

[God_speed]

Availability is much better if you're willing to settle for a GT instead of a GTS. Mechanically identical (except for the autos where the GT's diff is non-LSD) and another 5 grand cheaper. If you're going to end up tuning it up and/or tracking it anyway, the GT sounds like the way to go. The GTS just adds mostly comfort-oriented stuff like heated leather seats, sports pedals, dual climate, xenons and keyless/smart start, plus 17"s, but you will probably end up ditching the stock rims for some aftermarket anyway, so the GT doesn't lose out there.

What does everyone think of the ad?

i wouldn't be suprised if toyota steps up production in the coming months. they probably started off slowly to see what demand was going to be like. but at the same time i doubt they will flood the market with them

Awesome ad!

I still don't get it. Are they actually making a track or what?
