Possible boosted 86/Brz
The article claims Toyota has been testing an 86 with their GR Corolla/Yaris engine in it. Promising but it's not concrete it'll happen.

It they can somehow get it to fit under the low hoodline that would be a hoot.
No doubt they would market it as the pinnacle and expect to pay Yaris GR price if not more. The weight of that engine, I wonder if it is significantly less than the FA24? Then it could potentially bring the vehicle closer to 50/50 weight f/r although who knows the actual numbers.

The article makes it very clear (if not total bullshit to start with) that this is in no way a production concept.
The total lack of any pictures of this alleged engine swap is sort of telling really.

If the engine can actually fit under the hood then there is hope. I wouldn't expect something like this to be sold to the public ever, considering the assembly is done by Subaru. If crate engines were shipped to produce some special elite model, like the early STI days, it would need to be after discontinuing Supra, considering the package would probably add $10K + to the price tag and for not much more you can get a 4 second car with a 382 HP inline 6.

No doubt they could sell kits if offered but it would be way more than $10K by the time they were done with you. Wouldn't impact the Supra in the least though.

The clickbait sites will have a field day with this and soon it will be said they are headed to dealers and only cost $100 more than the regular production models.

It could probably fit as-is, and definitely could with a small hood bulge. Yet another functional styling cue!
I think it's promising. I suspect this car was chosen as a test bed not just for the engine/fuels, but for the car+engine as well. It could occupy the same price point as GR Corolla. If it knocked the 2.0 Supra off the menu (I don't see why it would have to) no biggie. |

Until Toyota announces anything I would consider it clickbait.

BMW has multiple M3s with truck beds that they use to haul parts around. This doesn’t mean they’re going to start making a production M3 ute.
