Model overview

The Toyota 86 is a 2+2 sports car produced by Toyota and Subaru, made at Subaru's Gunma construction plant along with an alternative, sold as the Subaru BRZ. The coupé is remarked for its naturally-aspirated boxer engine, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive arrangement, and low center of gravity and for getting inspiration from Toyota's previous AE86.

Toyota sells the sports vehicle as the 86 in Asia, North America, and South America; as the Toyota GT86 in Europe; as the 86 and GT86 in New Zealand; as the Toyota FT86 in some parts of Africa and as the Scion FR-S in the United States and Canada.

The 86 is available in three trims: the 86, the 86 GT, and the 86 Hakone Edition. All trims come by default with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which has two output ratings based on which transmission it's joined with. Matched to the standard six-speed manual transmission, it's delivering 205 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque. When paired with the optional six-speed automatic, the engine is producing 200 hp and 151 lb-ft.
