0-60 mph - forget handling ability for 5.9 seconds - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well that was from a 3 lap test they had in a GT 86, so you could be right. I would love to see low 6 secs for 0-60MPH since I ordered mine a few weeks ago!

Based on a various test drives I have seen it looks like its quite rapid and will hit 3rd gear in less than 7 seconds.

Hopefully bro! Do you know pricing yet?

ajc209 · 01-05-2012, 12:09 PM

No Man, just predicted price of around £26k - thats on the road pricing... I think i'll be $25k + TAXs in the US. Partly because it a lower spec interior than the UK and we have 20% TAX.

So thats it.. the official quoted time is 6.9seconds. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4051

Damm it I was 0.1 seconds out.

Who guessed 6.9?

Levi · 03-07-2012, 08:22 AM

I was 1 second out with my guess of 5.9 sec. Whatever, my car is going to be even faster if I manage to rebuild the engine and lighten the car.

0-100 km/h in 6.9sec

so 0-60 miles per hour around 6.5sec - still not bad

With proper sticky tyres, I'm betting on about 6 even, I really doubt one would consistently get it into 5.9 or less in stock form. perhaps with a foot of roll out insideline/Motortrend style?

Looks like Matador got it right on the acceleration.

0-60 in 7 sec is PATHETIC.
how is this car slower than a GTI which weighs 400lbs more.

The Golf GTI needs also 6,9sec 0-100km/h - same time as the GT86

The gti also has a fair amount more torque. This car will get beat to 60 by quite a few 4 door family sedans.

Don't worry people, you guys should know manufacture suggested 0-60 times is always understated.

The closest car on the market to the 86 is the Miata. The Miata does 0-60 in 7.4 seconds. If you want a fast car, go somewhere else.

I ran the numbers (weight and HP) through some online 0-60 calculators and I got numbers ranging from 5.9 to 6.4. I think 6.9, even to 100kph (62mph) is underrating the car. We'll all find out in due time.

Classic marketing ploy, first lower the expectations and then exceed them to everyone's delight - creates great street buzz...
