Towards the opening of the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota unveiled a sports car that has been long awaited motorsport lovers. This car is simple enough named the '86 'or' Hachi-roku "in Japan. There are no affixes FT in front of his name as listed on the two previous concept cars.
This car in Europe will be referred to as GT86. Naming of the car itself refers to the AE86 sports car that circulated in the 1980's. Developed in conjunction with Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. or Subaru. Subaru will use the name of the BRZ. Both cars will be available in dealerships next spring.
Toyota 86 is the first car that uses a horizontally opposed boxer engine (typical Subaru) combined with D-4S direct injection technology, a la Toyota.
"Usually the sports car is always asked about how the speed, horsepower and acceleration. But when we ask for motorsport fans around the world, we find that they are looking for an affordable sports car and comfortable driving on normal roads," said Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada.
How much is it is still not mentioned, but he wanted a price equivalent to the salary of their new work for a year as well as the Corolla AE86 in the 1980s. When compared with the Corolla AE86 in the 1980s, the price of 86 is now probably around 2.5 million yen.
