So what is the official weight? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

brillo · 11-30-2011, 11:09 AM

I'm getting a little annoyed that all the articles are claiming different weights for the car. Given its engine specs, this is rather critical. I can't believe the BRZ is materially lighter than the FR-S. Can someone point me to Toyota's official specs for the car?

1,180kg (1,601lbs) with 17" wheels

That is 2596 lbs

KG to LB is 1 to 2.2

Is that the weight of the car dry or wet?

Syldrin · 11-30-2011, 11:26 AM

dry more than likley.

Mr.Jay · 11-30-2011, 01:07 PM

2601 for the base model according to leaked info

high spec should still come in below 2800 I hope

Boxer-4 · 11-30-2011, 01:56 PM

European mags have it listed between 1180 to 1210 kilograms, what does that compute to in lbs ?

LionZoo · 11-30-2011, 02:35 PM

Hey brillo,

There's still some confusion over what exactly is the official weight. So far, these are the official sources:

Leaked training manual for the 86: 2660 pounds for low-spec, 2710 pounds for high-spec (Japan)
UK website for GT-86: 2600 pounds (UK)
Official Subaru BRZ press release: 2690 pounds average (Japan? Maybe?)

Of course we still don't know if the US version will differ markedly from those weights or how those weights were arrived at. The waiting continues...

(And I'm sad to say it's probably going to miss what I want by just a tiny little bit, but still miss it.)

brillo · 11-30-2011, 06:30 PM

So long as the low spec gets all the performance goodies I don't care about nav etc....

m_life · 11-30-2011, 06:42 PM

Agreed.

Does make me wonder how much more weight you could take off this car.

Jeff_DML · 11-30-2011, 06:47 PM

inside line (yeah not official) keeps claiming 2822 pounds

Curb weight, mfr. claim (lbs.) 2.822

. At just 2,822 pounds, the FR-S undercuts the tC by around 300 pounds.

guess slushy + full tank + fluids could add a couple of hundred pounds. I cant see Nav adding that much weight, I don't think there is a sunroof option

Kostamojen · 11-30-2011, 07:52 PM

Until we see the actual service manuals with the actual U.S. spec curb weights listed in relation to actual vehicle options, its just a guessing game.

Deslock · 11-30-2011, 08:55 PM

I wouldn't worry about some mags saying 28xx pounds. Based on the leaked info, it's not that heavy.
