Added: It's not "eight-six" because the number refers to the dimensions of the bore and stroke of the boxer engine (86 X 86 mm). Also, Jeremy Clarkson called it a "gee-Tee-eigh-ty six" on Top Gear. While he may have many other failings, I think that we can take it from the donkey's mouth in this case.
Dunno, I was half kidding. But I was also under the impression that the Japanese call it "eight six"?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
