Just beautiful ! Will trade in my gen1 for one! Now to decide which color...

I love the front bumper design but I can't get over that horrendous rear end. Otherwise, I like what I see and can't wait to see one in person!

I really like the new GR86 front end. Just wish they had different headlights to differentiate the two cars a tad more like they've been doing. Otherwise, I plan to look at one when they are out! :happyanim:

Yay, think it looks great and perhaps it was already discovered from the subie launch but I'm sure glad manuals didn't get inundated with the extra safety gear. I hope they bring Hot Lava back otherwise gonna be hard as hell to choose a color.

I don’t necessarily want eyesight but radar cruise control would be nice to have. VW has had a complete ‘eyesight-like’ system on manual cars since the introduction of the MK 7 GTI. That was a while ago.

None of these would make me ditch the manual though.

lol am I the only one that likes the rear end?

At some angles I see F type Jag in the GR86 front end

If you squint hard enough you can see almost any modern sports car made. The laws of physics mean there are a handful of aero designs that are the most effective. That so many cars share some of those lines is not coincidence. The designers can go for effect or radically different looks but in the end there will be a bunch of cars that are roughly the same.

I prefer it to mine. I never loved the first gen taillights shape

Same. They cut weirdly into the trunk lid and it was never really clear to me why. I even switched to facelift tails and then back again because they didn’t fix the problem in person.

It is certainly more mature and overall more cohesive. With the 1st gen, they kind of gave up at the rear either due to time or money constraints.

Although I admit to liking the "made in the basement" aesthetic. It certainly had a unique look.

But I'm not a fan of the side skirts with the GEN 2. That looks like an afterthought. Gen 1 is cleaner down the side.

The 2017+ refresh has way better taillights than the original release. Even if it does look somewhat similar to aftermarket offerings.

i feel like the first gen has more "character" to it, like an individual personality. The second gen is "Grown up" and now kind of like every other person in a suit.

Also...i want to see more colours. Red, White, Blue, grey/silver has been seen between the twins. Would like to see if the rest of the colour lineup is the same.

I would keep my first gen and buy the second gen but they would be both different in that my first gen would stay boosted at 305whp and I would aim for 230whp(270-280hp) with bolt ons and flexfuel. 2800lbs and 275-280hp is the same power to weight of a 370z.

Toyota GR 86 to Make World Dynamic Debut at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed

The new Toyota GR 86, one of the world’s most keenly anticipated performance cars, will make its on-road debut this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The coupe’s launch is set to create a new “Power of Three” trio of global models developed with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, benefiting from the same motorsports-inspired engineering and design prowess as the critically acclaimed GR Supra and GR Yaris.

GR 86’s appearance at the Festival of Speed, to be held in the grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex from 8 to 11 July, is an early public preview prior to the car going on sale in the UK during 2022. Running in the festival’s “First Glimpse” showcase for upcoming exciting and exclusive road cars, it will demonstrate its handling and agility on Goodwood’s famous hill course, in the hands of an expert driver. Festival go-ers will be able to see the car driven on the famous Goodwood Hill and get up close to it in the First Glance Paddock.

First revealed in an online presentation in April this year, GR 86 develops the qualities that made GT86 a multi-award-winning success as a car that delivered the purest joys of driving.

The new car will maintain the core characteristics of its predecessor; a fun, accessible and easy to drive sports coupe which rewards driver input.

It retains a classic front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration, but adopts a new and more powerful 2.4-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. Its dimensions are almost identical to its predecessor, but a 50 per cent increase in torsional rigidity helps achieve sharper handling and steering, while a focus on weight-saving, including using aluminium for the roof and body panels, should make it the lightest four-seat coupe in its class (provisional kerb weight is 1,270kg).

Details derived directly from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities include precisely designed aero parts, such as the front air ducts and rocker panels. The suspension features front MacPherson struts and rear double wishbones and the car rides on 18-inch wheels fitted with 215/40R18 tyres. The new model has been jointly developed by Toyota Motor Corporation and Subaru Corporation, following a new business and capital alliance between the two companies, agreed in September 2019.

GR 86 follows the example of the Toyota GR Supra in making its world dynamic debut at the Festival of Speed, the two-seat coupe having been presented on-track at Goodwood in 2018. The Toyota GT86 also made an early appearance at Goodwood as one of the star newcomers at the 2012 festival, ahead of its market launch later that year. GT86 went on to amass around 200,000 worldwide sales and featured in many different forms of motorsport, including GT racing, rallying and one-make series.

Toyota will announce details of further activities at the 2021 Festival of Speed in the coming weeks, and more details about the GR 86 will be unveiled nearer its launch.

beautiful! it looks so good in white!

are eu cars expected to have headlight washers? i still don't get the point of them especially since how often would you come to a point where just your headlights were filthy enough not to warrant a general car wash? plus you would think NA models get it standard over EU since we do more driving out here..

Yes. They work really well in snowy conditions since they’re usually heated these days.

Never ever used the headlight washers on my BMW.

Well maybe you should have! ;)

dont they automatically activate when you activate the windshield wipers?

meaning you have used them before? lol

Or the directional signals?

Nope....


They only spray the headlights when your lights are on and you pull the wiper stalk all the way back.

That is correct. Only drove in a straight line.

I'm getting more excited the more details I find out about it, especially with the body improvements...I can't believe they're doing even MORE to handling...I'm really looking forward to test driving this.

The rear works in some pictures/videos. But I fear it won't age well. We'll see.

86 starts at 4:17

Haha, neat.

Has anyone seen estimated C02 anywhere?Maybe from japanese versions that are already available in japan?

Spotted in Spain,we may see some movement from Toyota soon!

Bright colors really make the black accents stand out, especially the fender vents.

I would normally say white is so boring because every crossover you see is white, but it really looks good on the GR86. The red is sharp too.

Co2
 

Here is the only mention on C02 i have found on the internet!

GR86 6AT japan specs comes at 198gr/km

https://www.ft86club.com/forums/atta...1&d=1636121080

AT had always a better value. I wouldn't be surprised if MT has > 200gr/km

They might just be looking for press shots for RoW markets though ;-)

Well being that Japan also uses WLTP, that makes it the likely figure for Europe. Which translates into a 16 800€ CO2 tax in France :cry:


Not necessarily, the last WLTP GT86s had lower CO2 as manuals (191 vs. 193)

My car is registered with 159gr/km and it is a 6+ years old car. Everyone goes lower and Subaru goes higher. :sigh:

My best bet it will be around 210gr/km

That is a BIG big tax for France:confused0068:

I thought first gen wltp was 196 for manual and 183 for Auto.
