Disguised 2nd-gen Toyota "GR" 86 spied
The 2nd-generation Toyota 86 could be unveiled before the end of the year, with production set to begin in early 2021. However, the next 86 won't be based on a rear-wheel-drive version of the TNGA platform and sport a turbocharged boxer engine... Instead, the Toyota-Subaru model will be an evolution of the current coupe. Although it will remain true to its roots, it will get a bigger, torquier engine!
Earlier this year, we reported that Toyota would replace its elemental sportscar, which was introduced as long ago as in 2012, early next year. According to a photograph posted on GR86.org, the newcomer will be introduced in North American market in “summer 2021”, which is around mid-year, and now, Instrammer Kystify has shared spy footage of a prototype of the 2nd-generation Japanese coupe undergoing a test run in Ann Arbor, Michigan (in the vicinity of Toyota's R&D centre) with YouTuber Matt Maran Motoring.
Subaru in Japan stopped accepting orders for its current-gen BRZ (the 86’s sister car) recently and although Toyota South Africa still lists the current GT86 as available on its website (it was known simply as the 86 when the model was launched on the local market in 2012), it appears the next 86 will again carry a suffix, but this time it’ll be “GR” to mark Gazoo Racing's involvement in the newcomer's development and, of course, to align with the branding of the GR Supra and South Africa-bound GR Yaris.
