FT-86 Future Said to may include hybrid - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

According to AutoExpress:

I think its a case of crossed wires here personally. Maybe an MRS style hybrid in the future, but seriously doubt it for the 86.

Well, autoblog says it's a rumor:

I wouldn't get a hybrid. Too expensive to replace the parts on it.

DrunkenMime · 03-11-2011, 01:46 PM

the original concept (FT-HS) was a 400hp hybrid....I wouldn't shoot down a hybrid rumor so fast....nor would I overlook the performance capabilities without seeing it in action....

As long as it doesn't flop like a CRZ I think it's not that bad. Rumor r rumor

Do we really need a new thread for every new rumor a magazine makes up?

There is no chance that this car will be either a) hybrid or b) a Scion.

Sure. I wont bother posting links to motor news sites that people may have missed.

Isn't that what this forum is for, to communicate and discuss news about the 86?

And how do you know a hybrid is not being considered as a spin off? FACT Toyota plan to release 15 hybrid/electric cars by 2015. What's to say one won't be based on the 2.0 boxer???

I HOPE toyota releases this as a hybrid. And as many other versions as possible...The more money they can make from this car the more they are likely to make more sports cars in the future...PERIOD

I only heard about making Lexus IS a hybrid.

Face it, it's still a concept at this stage and we hardly get anything official. If you don't like the thread move on. At least I don't keep banging on about scion etc in every thread like some do.

You must be kidding right? Have you seen all the threads?

When you've been here posting since '09 then different story, but when you have been member here?

Again, you're stating you speculation. You don't have a proof. Yes, I do agree, I wish that this car won't come out hybrid or Scion... but that's just my opinion and not a fact.

iff2mastamatt · 03-11-2011, 08:21 PM

I wouldn't be shocked if there was a hybrid option, but wouldn't a battery pack add a decent amount of weight?

Matador · 03-11-2011, 09:13 PM

I think today is recycle day for stale rumors from last year.
