Surely the Toyota GT86 coupe, along with the Subaru BRZ double, was expected not only by ring athletes and just lovers of “hot” cars, but also old drifters who still remember the magic of eight-six numbers. After all, they knew - the GT86 / BRZ is nothing but the revival of the legendary Toyota Corolla AE86. Suppose that under the hood the Subarovsky “opposite” maximum shifted back and down (weighting 53:47) - Toyota has not had a compact, lightweight and powerful rear-wheel drive for so long. Moreover, both mechanical and automatic gearboxes are from Toyota. Although the development and tuning of the chassis (front McPherson, rear multi-link) involved in Subaru. And the coupe will be produced under both names at one of the Pleiades factories.
The only two-liter engine with combined injection from Toyota is offered only in the atmospheric version. But in some trim levels, regularly or for a fee, you can count on the Torsen self-locking differential. Even a fully deactivable stabilization system has five modes, designed for various combat conditions. Specially for competitions, a lightweight homologation version is released, cheaper due to the lack of air conditioning, "music" and other civic attributes. And the American drifters who were offered the GT86 / BRZ clone - Scion FR-S with the 600-horsepower boxer Cosworth engine - were the first to appreciate the new coupe.
