    Finally - Toyota Shows The Production Version FT-86

    After two years and countless number of concepts, Toyota will show off the production version of the FT-86 sports car. Toyota's UK office released pictures and some tidbits about the vehicle. In Europe, the coupe will be called GT 86.

    Here's the specs of the GT 86:

    • 2.0L boxer with D4-S injection (direct and port injected)
    • 197 hp @ 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) @6,600 rpm
    • 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions
    • 17-inch wheel/tire package standard
    • 4,240mm (167 in.) long, 1285mm (50.6 in.) high, 2,570mm (101 in.) wide
    • 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution
    • 475mm (18.7 in.) center of gravity

    Inside the GT 86 is a three-gauge cluster with a larger tachometer, carbon fiber styled trim, an all black roof, red stitching, aluminum pedals, and “aviation-style” switches.

    The GT 86 will go on sale in Europe next June.

    We'll learn more about the Toyota GT 86 or FT-86 next week at Tokyo Motor Show.

    Too bad there are unnecessarily fussy details inside and out. What is the need for all the small quarter windows that are showing up? Interesting roof detail--will that preclude a sunroof? Subaru will probably have the better looking version.

    I think the Subaru will be the better looking fraternal twin in this family.

    Is there no way to style a modern coupe so that it has a longer shelf life? I see this as too trendy to ever become a classic.

    Wow... 101" wide... that'll trump the XTS by far. Toyota wins! ;)

    :lol:

    I think that's a mistranslation of "wheelbase."

    The interior of the BRZ/GT86 reminds me very faintly of the Porsche 924 and 944 interiors.

    In fact, there's a peculiar 924/944 vibe to the BRZ/GT in general.

    I'm not going to lie, I sort of have the hots for the BRZ. However, I would almost bet that my budget is going to agree more with the Scioyota Fries86 (or whatever the hell Toyota will call it in the US market).

      So do I. From 1 to 5 cups a day. I drink coffee a lot less often. Teas is good and good for you, with white tea over green tea over black tea if rank ordered.  Even black tea has benefits.  Earl Grey is my favorite type, and the bergamot in it makes it among the healthier black teas.

      Actually they are not as heavy as you would think and the Class 8 industry is already moving to electric trailers as the weight of the trailer does not get that much heavier but seriously reduces fuel consumption in traditional diesel trucks and reduces emissions. Fuel consumption in traditional Diesel trucks reduces by 36.3% https://newatlas.com/automotive/range-energy-electrified-trailer/ For consumers we already have options in this market: eStream Concept Travel Trailer | Airstream Electrifying Adventure 7 All Electric Trailers Hitting the Market | RV Obsession I think in time especially using in-wheel hub motors, I can see pretty much all trailers having motors and either using the power from the towing auto battery pack or having a small pack that helps to drive the trailer motors.

      We'll I would say Tesla is falling farther and farther behind in technology for the EV industry. The Disappointing Truth About Tesla's 4680 Battery Cell.. | Watch This is a surprise that Honda has released an actual production solid-state battery plant. What Honda’s Solid-State Battery Breakthrough Tells About The Future Of EV Tech The fact that Honda like Hyundai has actual Prototype production assembly lines up and running ahead of Toyota, Mercedes, BMW, VW, etc. would tend to indicate they could deliver solid-state battery tech sooner to EVs than others.

      That sounds like such an expensive trailer configuration, a trailer with massive batteries and motor(s).. That is no better than an HD with their diesel setups now. While the idea seems good, the price of something like that just sounds like looking for a problem to solve instead of the current setup.  At this point, we'd be talking about a 10,000lb truck and an empty trailer weighing 7,000lbs. That's pushing the better part of 20,000lb before even adding anything to the trailer. A basic single car trailer is already close to 2500lb.
