I have a friend currently in Japan who doesn't speak Japanese, but kinda understands it. Long story short, she ran into Tada-san during a festival after he had a few beers, and she swore she heard him mumble something about the "GT86 and a 3UR-FBE platform, corn is the future."

So basically, Toyota is doing a group collaboration with every other automaker on the planet.
No more needing to do engine swaps when you can custom order it online! |

Sources on a reputable FT86 fansite have just confirmed that the next FT86 will feature Bugatti's W16 1001 bhp engine. As for how they are going to fit it in to the engine bay.....we have to wait until the next reveal.

I have a feeling if Toyota was going to announce changes to the vehicle it wouldn't come from Australian publication reports first,
I somehow feel like news like that would come from japan head offices first. But if you believe that article I am also a Nigerian prince and I have some off shore business deals you should listen to! |

I'm planning to buy a 86, but won't be making a decision until details are released on the 2017 model. If I'm impressed enough with the changes, I'll buy new. If not I'll look to a used FRS, which will certainly take a hit in resale with the '17 refresh and killing off of the Scion brand.
