As for the facelift, there's supposedly minor engine and chassis upgrades that come along with it (~5hp/tq). Who knows though. As for the turbo, I don't think that's happening unless Subaru makes an exclusive STI version since Toyota has expressed that they want to keep the car NA to keep the spirit of the AE86 and have a nice flat power band. |

This is the intake manifold of the new GRMN 86 prototype:
It looks a pretty advanced design ... Last edited by nikitopo; 12-08-2015 at 02:44 AM. |

Nice! Right from the start, I thought the intake had the biggest room for improvement from the manufacturer. The Ferrari 458 for example uses a 3 stage intake that is able to give it constant torque while remaining smooth. So this design looks like a multi-stage intake too, which is just what it needed. I hope it makes it to production!

Shouldn't it be MY2017?! With all the current "information" and speculation? I mean why would they even have these facelifts rolling around in Germany, if it wasn't for MY2017?

According to my source (you guys don't have to believe me if you don't want to), the facelifted 86 will be announced in Japan some time during 2016. He's not 100% certain at this time, but leaning toward the first half of 2016.

They only need to work on power. Car looks good enough. Spend the money in power
