Twins future question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

accel · 05-02-2017, 07:32 PM

Anybody has more or less educated guess on twin's future? Is Subarota planning anything special for the next release, or, are they dropping the car? Any leaks?

My dream would be if they moved the boxer engine in the back...

They will go their separate ways.

BRZ will get bigger, framed windows, AWD and will offer a 4 door version, eventually dropping the coupe due to poor sales, then marketing the BRX to "outdoor, adventure" people..

Toyota will come out with the new, improved FWD version of the 86, possibly even releasing a bonnet spoiler to make it "appeal to younger kids" and a "Sportivo" version which will be nothing more than a stripes and different wheels package.

While over at Nissan, they will see this opportunity in the market and will released a 400k GTR which will be even more powerful and boring to drive, and will back it up by bringing to the market another 7 SUV's

50-50, on death or gen 2, either way you won't hear anything until 2020 as far as I'm concerned, don't hold out, enjoy them today.

This ^

Any "leaked" info at this point will be pure speculation on some clickbait writers part. Usually using misquotes, ancient history history, fake interviews or outright talking out of their ass to make a story that will get clicks. Then the other sites will take that fiction and rum with it and build things up even more. When it fails to appear as they predict they will just take than same info, scratch out the year and move it to the next to start the process all over again.

If you're looking for a more powerful turbo/sc version, it's not likely.

FR-Sky · 05-02-2017, 09:04 PM

2017 is just a facelift version I believe. But I am guessing FA22 or FA25 for more NA HP in the future.
Doesn't matter if it has supercharged, or turbo in the future because by then I already have my own.

Just nab yourself a supercharger and you've got yourself DIY gen 2.

Or... People will just make up fictional new engines.

FA50, bitches. H-8 will decimate all.

cjd · 05-02-2017, 11:32 PM

I was going to guess a flat-x 8 at around 3L displacement and a 12k redline...

Ooo, under-square revver sounds nice. May I change my vote?

humfrz · 05-03-2017, 12:27 AM

I'll hold out for the FA80.

New Supra at the top end to compete with Corvette/Cayman, 86GT in the middle (left pretty much alone, e.g. no turbo), and new MR2 at the bottom of the lineup, around $20K.
