Am i the only one who feels that looks like an 86 with some bits changed?
|
Yeah I'm a little confused. But I will say this is Toyota puts out a targa top 86, I'm sold!
After reviewing the link, I'm more curious... will the hybrid motor fix the torque dip? |
Admittedly I skipped the link, but I'm confused. Is this meant to be an automatic or manual transmission? The center console shows buttons (I think) for the usual automatic settings, but the shifter actually has the 1-6 gears printed on it. :iono:

No, just no.

I found a first draft of the keynote presentation.
"Neo Functionalism" concept was the idea we implemented all along the design process of the current 86. For the next generation we refined it. Ladies and gentlemen we are proud to present you the car that embodies our new concept. The GR HV Sports: "No Functionalism". As the current generation 86 we added steering wheel controls (to give you a safer car), then we removed the paddle shifters. You will experience a new dimension of unsafety you never dreamed possible in a car with an automatic transmission or an automated manual transmission. The 3 most common complaints about the current 86 are: the torque dip, not enough power and the mobile phone cubbyhole on cars with start button is too small. For these reasons we decided to remove the cubbyhole. SOME people think the 86 is a slow car. We thought "What can we do so that ALL people can think the next 86 is a slow car?". We added a big battery and that was really promising (the car was slower), then we added a hybrid system (to act as an excuse for battery presence), but the car started to be fast. That was unacceptable. Our engineers worked day and night until they found a solution. We decided to chop off the roof and subsequently we added a huge chunk of steel inside the car to strengthen the chassis. Now our car is slower than your grandparents. We know you are thinking "But my sports car regulation doesn't allow convertibles and targa top to compete". Don't worry. We are really confident that some North Korean scientist will sooner or later blow up a laboratory and the whole laboratory's city and the whole country and the entire Korean peninsula and Japan and maybe you too. |
The front end looks hella dumb but those tail lights are interesting

Uhhh.... |

Change the front light cluster and I will put my name on the waiting list.
|
Ugly.
|
We finally get what we've all been asking for: more torque!
