No more Toyota Boxer engines
Toyota is going with their own engine, with smaller engines with Turbos like most manufacturers now. Toyota made a mistake putting a BMW engine in the Supra now it’s coming to an End. https://www.topspeed.com/toyota-dropping-boxer-engine/

I have been driving my FRS since the day they came out.
I once posted that this car would be even more amazing if they put a "real" engine in the chassis. The flames were epic! If Toyota were to put a real engine in the GT86 I would be in the market for a new car. The Subaru engine has not done anything bad, its not like I even crave more power from this pancake; it is just offensive to anyone who appreciates elegant engineering. |

Thank goodness. The worst thing on the vehicle is the POS engine.

If a future gen includes a turbocharged Toyota engine from the factory, I'd also be looking to replace my 1st gen.

Lol I could see Toyota putting a 1.6L turbo motor in and because it doesn't produce 300hp like the GR Corolla, people would cry. So it will still be the same story, different title.
