I would keep my first gen and buy the second gen but they would be both different in that my first gen would stay boosted at 305whp and I would aim for 230whp(270-280hp) with bolt ons and flexfuel. 2800lbs and 275-280hp is the same power to weight of a 370z.

Toyota GR 86 to Make World Dynamic Debut at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed

https://media.toyota.co.uk/toyota-gr...ival-of-speed/

The new Toyota GR 86, one of the world’s most keenly anticipated performance cars, will make its on-road debut this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The coupe’s launch is set to create a new “Power of Three” trio of global models developed with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, benefiting from the same motorsports-inspired engineering and design prowess as the critically acclaimed GR Supra and GR Yaris.

GR 86’s appearance at the Festival of Speed, to be held in the grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex from 8 to 11 July, is an early public preview prior to the car going on sale in the UK during 2022. Running in the festival’s “First Glimpse” showcase for upcoming exciting and exclusive road cars, it will demonstrate its handling and agility on Goodwood’s famous hill course, in the hands of an expert driver. Festival go-ers will be able to see the car driven on the famous Goodwood Hill and get up close to it in the First Glance Paddock.

First revealed in an online presentation in April this year, GR 86 develops the qualities that made GT86 a multi-award-winning success as a car that delivered the purest joys of driving.

The new car will maintain the core characteristics of its predecessor; a fun, accessible and easy to drive sports coupe which rewards driver input.

It retains a classic front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration, but adopts a new and more powerful 2.4-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. Its dimensions are almost identical to its predecessor, but a 50 per cent increase in torsional rigidity helps achieve sharper handling and steering, while a focus on weight-saving, including using aluminium for the roof and body panels, should make it the lightest four-seat coupe in its class (provisional kerb weight is 1,270kg).

Details derived directly from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities include precisely designed aero parts, such as the front air ducts and rocker panels. The suspension features front MacPherson struts and rear double wishbones and the car rides on 18-inch wheels fitted with 215/40R18 tyres. The new model has been jointly developed by Toyota Motor Corporation and Subaru Corporation, following a new business and capital alliance between the two companies, agreed in September 2019.

GR 86 follows the example of the Toyota GR Supra in making its world dynamic debut at the Festival of Speed, the two-seat coupe having been presented on-track at Goodwood in 2018. The Toyota GT86 also made an early appearance at Goodwood as one of the star newcomers at the 2012 festival, ahead of its market launch later that year. GT86 went on to amass around 200,000 worldwide sales and featured in many different forms of motorsport, including GT racing, rallying and one-make series.

Toyota will announce details of further activities at the 2021 Festival of Speed in the coming weeks, and more details about the GR 86 will be unveiled nearer its launch.

are eu cars expected to have headlight washers? i still don't get the point of them especially since how often would you come to a point where just your headlights were filthy enough not to warrant a general car wash? plus you would think NA models get it standard over EU since we do more driving out here..

Yes. They work really well in snowy conditions since they’re usually heated these days.

Nope....


They only spray the headlights when your lights are on and you pull the wiper stalk all the way back.

I'm getting more excited the more details I find out about it, especially with the body improvements...I can't believe they're doing even MORE to handling...I'm really looking forward to test driving this.

The rear works in some pictures/videos. But I fear it won't age well. We'll see.
