More Speculation!!!! Lol

I love the part about a power increase....going up to 208hp lol Hmmm sounds like someone pulled that out of their ass, and if it were true why even bother.

campy 05-12-2015 11:07 AM

No.

5thGenOwner 05-12-2015 11:08 AM

Just saw that myself... I guess we'll know in about a year, what actually is the truth. Until then, more rumors. Enjoy!

Sideways&Smiling 05-12-2015 11:51 AM

Sounds like exactly something Toyota would do lol

Hopefully that 8hp comes with 20-25 lb/ft of torque.

Tcoat 05-12-2015 11:53 AM

These blog loops always seem to lead back to Motoring.com.au. The great part is that the article that they are citing is actually pretty old and called for the "mid life refresh" for the 2016my not the 2017 like they said in the one above. So not only are they citing speculation they are using year old info (that didn't happen) and just moving it out another year.

I Just saw this and raced to this forum to see whats up!

RojerLockless 05-12-2015 12:13 PM

Alright now that I'm done reading it.. 150lbs of tq? Call me crazy but don't we have more than that now? I haven't looked at the specs in two years but I thought it was 200hp 200 tq ?

raven1231 05-12-2015 12:17 PM

It's 151....if we had 200 less people would be bitching

Not even speculation anyway as they just took the other blog and totally misquoted it's fiction.
Shit they didn't even catch the difference in years much less get anything else right.

In 2016 according to the first blog that the second one was quoting as fact! Guess Toyota forgot to put that fact on the official list of updates (along with the whole new front and rear ends they said were coming).

I know you would think a company as big as they're wouldn't make simple mistakes like that. I'm personally excited for the new internals!

The RS1 guys are gonna be pissed that the yellow will be a stock colour though.
Not sure I like the new front end treatment on the 16s.

If that was really the direction toyota was going, the BRZ just got sexier.

Looks like the FRS took the Kylie Jenner Challenge

funwheeldrive 05-12-2015 07:25 PM

I know it's just speculation, but it doesn't sound too far off when compared to other reports about the 86 refresh. I wouldn't be surprised if this article has more truth than fiction.

continuecrushing 05-12-2015 07:39 PM

wait, so does it come with a turbo or not.

208hp with a turbo doesnt seem like a lot, but I dont know?

Maybe its de-tuned from factory? Oh Im so excited.

it doesn't sound far off from the other reports because every single effing clickbait shitposting car "news" website is citing the same motoring.com.au article that was bullshit to begin with.

The cars have 195 NM (Newton Metres) of torque. Which is the standard measurement outside of the States.

So technically you're correct. Or at least off by 5 NM.

But yeah it's 151 in lb-ft.
