Some day somebody posting this may be right!
The OP on this one at least said right in the title "More Rumors" so if you don't want to read it just do not open it.
I for one am glad as they save me wasting the time checking out the outlandish claims some sites have.

They already have one. It's called the Holden GTS Maloo. Makes 576 hp / 545 ft lbs from a supercharged 6.2l v8.

I imagine Toyota/Subaru must be getting pissed off about all these articles as it likely affects the sales of the 86/BRZ when the "journalists" constantly post rumours about a supposed turbo model coming.

These articles have been around since before the 86/BRZ even released in 2012.

Until we see a video of camoflauged twin running around the Nurburgring with a distinctive whoosh or whine, then nothing is solid.

It is the ones that BELEIVE it that are the problem!

And that makes it worse, why would we (or them) want to share false bs information? All it does is continually clutter an already disorganized forum.

Its time to trade in

next generation will be No-Wheel-Drive. it's gonna be jet powered.

gramicci101 · 09-25-2014, 02:43 PM

I heard they're switching it to hydrogen-powered, with individual electric motors in each wheel. That way they'll be able to remove the entire drivetrain, it'll still be AWD, and it'll have massive massive torque.

I heard they were detuning the boxer to the original 86s 112hp. 200 was ruining the car.
