I wrote a thing
as the resident 86 expert on the Everyday Driver staff, I went to the soft launch at Toyota North America HQ earlier this month.
Here's what I thought: https://www.everydaydriver.com/singl...ew-86-is-close I also welcome any questions/etc - I couldn't put EVERYTHING I learned in the article. |

Nice article. Pretty much confirmed what I had been expecting. The new car is going to feel like a 2013 FR-S running e85 and will make about the same power.
Also agree with it looking like a gen 1 with a bad body kit, but glad to hear it looks better in person. I still love my 2013 (e85, track mods, weight reduction) even after owning it 9 years, but looking forward to the gen 2’s. I’ll probably upgrade down the road.

I think the extra cubes will make the power feel more natural than my e85 car.

Nice article. I didn’t understand how you recovered 40cv (a big improvement on a naturally aspirated engine) but I don’t think it makes sense to compare tuned vs stock, at least for 2 reasons: 1) with stock you travel without any fear of cops. 2) Tuned 2.4l would rebalance differences between the two stock engine.

Did they tell you why they're hiding the Neptune Blue GR 86 so well?
