I have seen a BRZ in the showroom in Shanghai.

We’ve seen the Subaru version, and the supposed Toyota front end, when will Toyota show their version?

Rumor has it that Toyota will be unveiling the new 2022 GR86 and will be providing them to all the athletes at this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo.

That would be so awesome if it was true

This article confirms that the car comes with fake engine sounds, coming from a dedicated speaker behind the center stack. Also confirms that it can be disabled.

Waiting to find out if the car still sounds like a tractor.

6.5s to 60 (~6.7 to 100kph) is damn slow still.... expected like 5.9 to 60.
We will see after tests but lets hope its faster than that....

The official 0-100kmh for the first gen BRZ is 7.7 seconds. Sounds like like a "street start", than a clutch-dump style launch. It's been established, that the 2nd gen BRZ should be slightly faster than the ND2 Miata, which does 6.0-6.3 seconds 0-60mph.

Based on stats - ye I would thought so, so lets hope its really conservative official talk for now. I saw MX5 184hp doing 0-60 in 5.9 the fastest I think? With 14.5 1/4.

Fastest stock in my 86 on better tires (215 still) I did 6.9 to 100.

I think stats are 1 thing but the more important thing will be how this new engine feels to drive. If they got rid of that anemic feeling low-mid range of FA20 it will be enough. Stock MX5 which is slower than my tunned 86 still feels better low-mid range due to the nature of its engine.

Hard launch should be in the 5 second range 0-60. No way would they not improve the numbers with this car.

RToyo86 · 03-14-2021, 04:36 PM

Winding road has a YouTube video doing a 6.2 0-60 on a 2017 86 manual.
You can see they do a hard launch and abuse the drivetrain maximizing shifts with flat foot shifting. And the time varied by a second back to back if you slightly mess something up.

Only further proves I don't give a crap about 0-60. I enjoy ringing it out gear by gear and that's all that matters to me.

Sport-Tech · 03-14-2021, 06:29 PM

Will be interesting to see if the improved automatic will now be faster off the line and through 60 than the manual.

Truth. My few forays into max acceleration in this car only revealed to me that exactly none of the drivetrain mounts are up to the task, even with stock power. I plan to remedy that, but it'll never be a drag strip hero, so why worry about 0-60?
