Sorry for the crosspost but I should of posted this here first;
I am buying a car next year and the FR-S is top of my list. I intensely research when i purchase and will continue to.
Anyway I don't know about the legitimacy of this site but this is the second site I have seen saying that there will be 18" Aluminum/Carbon Fiber wheels on the GT86.
http://www.newcarsrelease2015.com/20...ta-gt86-coupe/ I know the FR-S usually shares most major componants with just comfort items being the difference. But I believe that the wheels have been the same since 2012 in European to America models of GT86, BRZ, and FR-S if I'm not mistaken. Also it states dual exhaust tips in place of the single and shock dampening and steering box or EPS assist change for sharper steering.
Quote's from Toyota 86’s chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, "The updated 2015 model 86 will have crisper steering response and less body roll thanks to the damper tweaks, and the fact that the rear dampers are now directly attached to the body, improving dynamic control".
“GT86 is all about driver involvement, and we are committed to keep enhancing this aspect of the car,” said Tada of the rear-wheel drive car, which reignited interest in affordable sports cars (and Toyota design) when it arrived in Australia in June 2012.
“We decided to change the way how suspension parts - including the rear shock absorbers - are attached to the chassis. This increases body rigidity, hence adds to better handling stability and response,” said Tada.
“Shock absorbers were also retuned. We used a new technology for stabilising damping force, and we improved friction control and responsiveness,” he added.
The car now gives the driver “that extra bit of control, especially when the car is driven on the limit,” said Tada, who also confirmed a handful of “subtle” cosmetic changes will distinguish the 2015 models from their progenitors".
