Model overview

The Toyota 86 is a sports vehicle jointly produced by Toyota and Subaru, built at Subaru's Gunma assembly factory along with a badge-engineered alternative, sold as the Subaru BRZ.

The coupé is remarked for its naturally-aspirated boxer powertrain, rear-wheel-drive arrangement, front-engined, low center of gravity, and 53/47 front/rear weight balance.

Toyota sells the vehicle as to the 86 in Asia, Australia, North America, South Africa, and South America; as the Toyota GT86 in Europe; as the 86 and GT86 in New Zealand and as the Scion FR-S (2012-2016) in North America.

The Subaru BRZ is available in only two trim levels: the Limited and the tS. Both trims are powered by a 2.0-liter flat-four making 205 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque paired to a six-speed manual transmission. The optional six-speed automatic transmission is mated to the 200 hp and 151 lb-ft engine.
