They're talking bout how next gen 86/BRZ is possibly 1.6L turbo from Levorg (WRX hatch). By 2020, Toyota will have big (Supra), mid (86) & small (S-FR) released for everyone's wants & needs. They're quoting several sentences... but they're not saying "who" they're quoting nor where they got the resource. I would just take it as a grain of salt. |

As far as the concept goes, it's just way too outlandish and unrealistic to be taken seriously in general let alone something Toyota would actually display as a concept, especially with that gaping maw front end. Not to mention that some parts of the car almost look like they were taken from a Lexus, Subaru, and Mazda parts bin. I get where Cole is coming from when he called the concept a cartoon image and I definitely agree with him on that front. Though I'm happy with the design of the twins over the original FT86 concept car, at least even that was still a great-looking concept and actually looked like it could have entered production as-is. If there even lies a bit of truth somehow and Toyota displays this as an actual concept car, I will throw up and question the sanity of Toyota's design department. Of course, this is just my opinion, which varies differently from others. |

Cole probably has never bought a copy of Best Car ever in his life.

motoring.au article "New 2020 86 details officially released in Japan" in
3... 2... 1 No wonder there are so many clickbaits and magazines when so many people think every speculative/fictional write up is the next official concept or production car.

Not feeling the speculative car it looks too derivative of everything from Asia. I think the original concept car looks better. I hope the designers don't pull the same thing as the Nissan Z's -talk about running out of ideas between the 350Z & 370Z.

The only decent idea is using the small turbo engine from the Levorg. I wonder if that could fit in the 86 and still keep the center of gravity as low as it is now.

Cool, an ugly wild render and random speculation from a magazine.
