(GR86) Second Generation FR-S/BRZ insider info... - Page 162 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just watched the Redline Review! That isn’t my favorite car channel, but I’m not surprised he got one of the first up close looks at the 2nd gen. The little track drive looked really fun, and it sounded great.

So I’m 100% sure I’m going to wait and get a 2nd gen over a refreshed 1st gen. I think it looks fantastic, the 2.4 boxer provides more torque across the powerband, and you can still get a 6 speed. I’m so stoked for this car!!!

What are GR86 owners going to complain about then?

Also, looks like both boxes are carry-over.

Theres always "needs 300hp" or "needs turbo"
or "wheres my back seat delete???"

Even though it looks so terrible?
I have a feeling this will be the final generation, because it won't sell well, because it's ugly.

The rest is all in preference since I think it looks like crap and would pass up on that digital dash no matter what.

Eh, under 2900 lbs is all I read so far so it seems like it would have to be a tennis court sized pizza that I'd have to skip lol.

Oh tcoat, don't be an old man, the digital dash looks fine. Could look cheesy and overdone like C7 digital dash, instead looks clean. Maybe you can keep your old analog gauges from your 86 and fit it onto a new twin

How many people thought the refreshed 86 bumper looked ugly...?

How many people vote communism?

So it looks like the new BRZ maintains its 7400 rpm rev limit even with a bigger bore. All things equal, if the bore is increased without changing the stroke, the rev limit rightfully should be lower than the current 86x86 due to larger inertial forces from the enlarged piston size?

For rentals and work trucks. Otherwise it is not a colour at all.

Depends on what source you want to believe. The picture shows 7,400 the write up says 7,000. Only one is right.

White is right. /

Or neither could be.

Silver = Rental/Fleet Sales
Black = Limo/Federal Law Enforcement
