Toyota 86 News

The replacement for the Toyota 86 will leapfrog the Toyota Supra in driving enjoyment, if a report from Australia is to be believed. Australian outlet MOTOR says chief Toyota 86 engineer Tetsuya Tada let slip that the company has a development team in place for the next generation of the company's...

Despite a decades-long presence in the tuning scene, Toyota's iconic Supra will be absent from Electronic Arts' upcoming "Need For Speed Heat". The reason? Well, that's just now coming into focus. When a fan tweeted at Toyota UK Tuesday to ask why the brand isn't represented in "Heat," the...

The 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition commands a premium of nearly $3,000 versus a base 86.

With its green paint and bronze wheels, the 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition is a dazzling version of a fun sports car.

Instead of the Subaru Impreza-based platform that the current Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 use, the next-generation models may move to the Toyota TGNA platform.

Toyota looks to be readying a new version of its 86 sports car developed in part with its Gazoo Racing motorsport department. A teaser video was posted to social media on Monday along with the tag a “passion for speed,” though there isn't much we can decipher from the short clip. The...

Toyota last year launched the new performance sub-brand GR, but in the United States the automaker is likely to stick with the more familiar TRD label. Reinforcing this is the addition of the 86 TRD Special Edition to the 2019 Toyota 86 lineup. The car is billed as the “ultimate...

For 2019, the Toyota 86 will get a new variant aimed squarely at the hardcore enthusiast crowd. The sports car's order guide shows an 86 TRD Special Edition will arrive for the new model year, CarsDirect reported last Friday. The TRD treatment will include a handful of upgrades and racier looks...

Toyota previously confirmed it will develop a successor to the affordable 86 sports car, but new details allege the 86, and its Subaru twin, the BRZ, will come with a larger-displacement engine. And, no, there's no mention of a turbocharger. The Japan Times reported on Tuesday that the...

Toyota tipped its hand ahead of the 2017 Tokyo motor show and revealed not one, but two concept vehicles it will debut in Japan. The first is the GR HV Sports Concept, which takes design inspiration from the automaker's TS050 LMP1 race car. The second is the TJ Cruiser Concept, which molds SUV...

The Toyota 86 really sits in a segment all its own. It's a no-frills coupe with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter flat-4 that produces a modest 205 horsepower—the pinnacle of "slow car fast." But that doesn't mean it can't be fun, and the new Toyota 86 Cup Car racer is here to prove that...

In stock form, the Toyota 86 is a fun machine. Sure there are a number of folks who cry out that the sporty coupe needs more power, but it's pretty darn enjoyable as it comes from the factory. Still, we do agree that more power wouldn't be a bad thing here. This is a chassis that's itching for some...

Spoiler alert: It's not the one you're hoping they'd make. What we have instead is the Toyota 86 860 Special Edition, which is a limited-run package that focuses on some style upgrades and interior amenities. This does not feature any sort of added power, perhaps by way of that turbocharger or...

If you're a drifing pro and you stuff the V-8 from a Ferrari 458 into a Toyota 86, what do you suppose is next? Exactly, you drift it. That's exactly what Ryan Tuerck is doing here with his so-called Toyota GT4586. We first saw this car in June, and then watched it do donuts around a Ferrari 458 in...

The Scion FR-S is dead. In its place we get the Toyota 86, which is basically the same car minus some snazzy new badges. For those of you interested in buying the affordable rear driver, perhaps you should hold off for a while as it seems a successor is in the works. Toyota Europe boss Karl...

The Toyota AE86 is a legend among drift fans. “AE86” is actually the internal code for rear-wheel-drive models from the fifth-generation Corolla family, launched in the 1980s. The models became popular among Japan’s drifting scene because of their affordability and ease at which...

The Toyota 86 (formerly Scion FR-S) is a wonderful little machine. It's a rear-wheel-drive sports car that's affordable, approachable, and a ton of fun. Still, it could use a bit more power. When I say a bit, I mean another 50 horsepower and it would be perfect. When Street FX Motorsports of...

Toyota has priced its new 86 sports coupe from $27,120, which is an increase of about 4 percent over the Scion FR-S that it replaces. But the 86 is more than just a rebadge of the now-discontinued Scion brand's coupe. A host of chassis, interior, and styling updates make the first truly sporty car...

When Toyota and Subaru got together to build their 86 and BRZ coupes, they weren't thinking about big power. Instead, the 200-horsepower coupe they created was focused more on its balance and light weight—factors designed to evoke sports cars of yore. That's not exactly what drifting pro Ryan...

Toyota’s habit of unveiling cool concepts with no chance of production continues with the 86 Shooting Brake. The design was penned by the automaker’s Australian arm and proved to be a major hit with 86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, so much so that he ordered the car be built. “I...
