Release Series 2.0 details leaked?
 

Hey, so some details of the next Release Series may have been leaked early. Here is the post before it was deleted. What do you guys think? Has anyone heard any rumors? I'm guessing official details will be revealed at the end of the month.

Source?

...or it's a lie.

Poster said that he got those details after purchasing his car. Could totally be fake. Not sure why he would quickly delete his post though. It will be interesting to see if anything else leaks soon. Shouldn't it be about time for a special edition MY16 soon? I think they already have camel colored interior pieces in Japan.

I hope RS 2.0 the refreshed model. We all know the car is due for a refresh in the coming months.

The MY16 is already out though and there are no special editions out. The facelift will likely be for MY17, so it will probably be a while if they decide to have a release series for the new model.

I'll probably end up trading my car in for the next RS. Providing it's not a driving TRD advertisement and the exterior isn't a stupid colour.

If you don't like TRD logo, bondo. :bellyroll:

Hope it gets hp boosted by 15 minimum and torque by 10 minimum. Compression dropped just a tiny bit or a 2.2/2.4 implemented.

Body kit 5axis standard, only 6mt. A shinier new pearl white!


^^^ My wishes.

BTW, my first post was as a joke. LOL not literal.

the interior part sounds right, that's the new color option for 86 starting this year in japan.

Interesting. I can't think of many colors that would go well with that other than white and black. Some kind of gold might be cool.

The original poster was reliable in my opinion. At little afraid to stand up to the resulting questions maybe but still reliable.
Itchi has been hinting and news the last few days so this is probably it.

I haven't seen any pictures yet, but a search turned up a few Toyota dealers with partial specs. Engine still the same (naturally), basically same stuff all around. The only thing I did notice on a couple of the sites, though, was the color availability: "Desert Khaki" with tan interior. Tan leather is listed on one site as an option. I will try to go back and get the links to the sites, but if it does turn out to be khaki and tan I think you can count me out. Could anything be more bland? Then again, maybe it's a special edition just for zik and the UAE crowd.

The original, unedited, pre deleted, seemingly reliable post said it was a sandy beige sort of colour.
Sort of a 180 from "hey look at me" RS1 to "let me just sneak in here" RS2 by the sounds of it.

If we see a refresh at all next year it won't be until September. They are not going to do it after the 16 release even for special editions. That would cut their throats for 16 sales.

GTX

I wasnt too excited about the color of the 10-Series when it was first released. Now it's one of my favorite colors on a 86.

I still think they should make a gold, purple, and green 86 though.

No such thin...Oh wait ... nevermind

Hahaha

Brb trading my MY14 for a GTX i6 engine.

That description said arm rest, therefore everything about the car is a lie!

Direct cut & paste from other thread: "I think it's a desert khaki color."

I literally cannot think of a worse color for a sports car.....tan?......khaki?....really?

I do like that interior though. That would look good with black or blue.

I'm not too sure either....

Yep that's it! Was trying to go from memory.

As I have repeatedly said every time they try to broaden the market base a little something will get lost. If the colour is as described it would appear to be aimed at the more conservative consumer and could be the start of the downward slop.

Make it pearl!

Trading in the "rex" (what the hella flush people call wrxs) for the shit brown limited release!!

Have you really had somebody call it a "rex"? To your face? While they were sober?

rEX....
Rex......
TrEx.......
tReX..............

Yeah unfortunately....only once in person though. It was a 350z owner at a gas station. Guy walked by me and said "that's an ill rex bro". Mind you its essentially stock in appearance.

waiting for moto miwa to confirm cause he's one of the few guys in the public that knows these things first hand.

Maybe looking something like this? Ignoring the Yellow only scheme.

if the rs2.0 follows the rs1.0 route, it will have its own body kit for the US.

Yep. And I can't see them going with a subdued colour and then slapping a big motherin' wing on the back.

I feel like a full body kit would have been included in the original details(Assuming they are real). I'm hoping for a really nice front lip and a unique rear wing.

Toyota isn't producing a redesigned FRS after seeing sales dropped each year. Their main focus is on a joint partnership with BMW to produce a hybrid sports car to be released in 2016....and no, it's not a Supra 2.0 that people have been asking/rumoring about. This will ultimately kill the BRZ since the engine and design were contributions from Toyota, while Subaru contributed the chasis.

Source?

The facelifted redesign of the twins is already doing testing in camo. The FSR and FT1 concepts are going to be their next sports cars, regardless of what their names will be. The FRS/BRZ will be produced for at least 2 more years.

Yep!
Both the FRS and the FT1 are also meant to support the FRS not replace it. One is intended as an entry level and the other as something to move up to.

Doesn't do it for me. I'm in love with the standard red accent, especially in a blue car.

This is tasteful and all but meh...

According to this page http://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/jp/download/6468323
This rather tasteful interior (IMHO) is for an GT“Limited”.

This page http://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/jp/download/6468313
Seems to indicate that the GT“Limited” looks like the second image. and the color name for the GT "Limited" is "Orange Metallic". Looks a little off to me.
