TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Presents World Debut of the New JDM GR 86 (Second Gen 86)!

[Frost]

I've gone through 5 cars, a 87 MR2, 2003 IS300, 2004 Echo Hatch, 2013 Prius - still driving, 2004 S2000 and the upcoming GR86 will be my first new new car.

Time I walk into a dealership to do what others have done.

Greddy GR86 getting 1:08.502 on Tsukuba with a professional. Looks like stock NA motor with just exhaust (wonder how much power that is worth), but with Dunlop Z3 235/40R18 tyres (which btw fills up the arches so nicely!), D2 brakes and their coilovers.

And their oil cooler which looks similiar to what they have for the current (ahem, previous gen) 86 brz https://www.counterspacegarage.com/g...-86-subaru-brz

Dunno where to put this post.

I like their slogan.

"Pushing the limits for Better"

Better with a capital B.

So that stupid feature that cuts off throttle when you left foot brake - is there a way to disable it? Does anyone know?

That if I cut the bottom half off you, you’d look a hell of a lot different, too.

Great find!
It does look like a car Porsche could make as a new entry level model (928/944?).

But also I dare to say that GR 86 and the new BRZ look better than most 718s, 992s and last gen Macans (whatever the gen number they are).

Thought is there's only so many pleasing shapes out there, and eventually you either look somewhat like something else, or you're ugly. We can play the game all day long.

Yup. Several people on this forum and on other websites have commented on its similarity Porsche's design, from certain angles. Many of the shapes, specifically the headlights, and also the arches over the fenders, feel borrowed from Porsche.

I 100% agree you could pass it off as a 928/944 replacement.

Not to say it is 1:1 or that Toyota copied, but rather, the designers recognized good design and applied it to the shape well.
