2014 Toyota 86 2.0 (A) Engine Specs

The 2024 Toyota GR86 has received another round of updates (previous update introduced ADAS for MT version) in Japan, including a limited edition "Ridge Green Limited" variant that is limited to 200 units. Drawing from motorsports experience, Toyota has refined the GR86’s driving dynamics. Both manual and automatic versions benefit from improved shock absorber damping for better road contact and steering feel. Electric power steering calibration has been adjusted for more intuitive handling and

Now this is a bit of a tease isn't it? Long story short – Toyota's got a build for the upcoming SEMA trade show, and they've got Evasive Motorsports to make them an all-wheel drive GR86. Of course they've just said it's an homage to the brand's rally heritage, but you and I both know there's no smoke without fire... Anyway, Larry Chen's latest video takes us behind the scenes of what is, on paper, technically a reborn Celica. Officially though, it isn't, but with rumours spinning harder than the

In a recent announcement, Toyota, in collaboration with Subaru and Mazda, revealed their plans for engine development. One highlight was the unveiling of a new 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine designed with motorsports in mind. More interestingly, there are rumours suggesting that this engine could be featured in the revival of the Toyota Celica. Initially introduced at the Tokyo Auto Salon, this engine is designed with a focus on high performance, with an eye toward motorsport applicati

Japanese publication famed for their spyshots and scoops, Best Car has come up with yet another zinger - the next-gen 2025 Toyota GR86 will apparently add on sedan and wagon bodystyles, among a host of other changes. According to the scoop, the publication states that 'multiple sources' have shared that development work of four-door variants of the GR86 has begun, albeit currently in the planning stages. The idea behind these rumoured variants are to capture a larger part of the market, a recipe

In 2023, Toyota achieved a record-breaking sales year in Europe, delivering a total of 1,173,419 vehicles, including those carrying the Lexus badge. The Yaris Cross emerged as the top-selling product, with 195,569 units, followed by the Corolla family with 166,925 cars, and the C-HR with 117,552 vehicles shipped to customers. Never mind that, the real mindwarp is how the GR86 outsold the Prius by nearly double in the region last year; 4,041 units against 2,755 cars respectively! Just slightly be

The first Toyobaru twin, the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ are probably the best sports cars for beginners. While it has only been 2 years since the second generation was introduced, Toyota is rumoured to have already started development of the next generation but without the help of Subaru. Japanese automotive publication, Best Car Web reported that the next generation of the GR86 could be utilising the turbocharged 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine as seen in the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. While the two

Understandably, Toyota is excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Toyota Corolla AE86 that was launched all the way back in 1983. To do so, it skipped the candles and heartfelt speeches but has instead done so in true petrolhead fashion by releasing a special version of the car’s modern successor, the GR86. Dubbed the GR86 40th Anniversary Limited, only 200 units will be made for Japan only and getting your hands on one will take quite a bit of luck. The reason being that interes

MF Ghost is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Initial D series and the highly anticipated anime has finally been given an official premiere date. So, get that Eurobeat playlist ready because it’ll premiere on 1 October 2023. Both series’ centre around street racing but MF Ghost will take place in an era where self-driving electric cars are the mainstay. It follows the life of protagonist Kanata Livington (not a typo), a half Japanese, half British kid that’s the protégé of Takumi Fujiwara. He

Time magazine labelled 2020 as the “worst year ever” for most of us alive today. We witnessed the widespread cancellation of gatherings, global lockdowns, and the far-reaching consequences these had on the economy. Our lifestyles have probably been changed as well. It’s a year to forget for many, but in the midst of all of it, the automotive world was gifted a rally homologation special – the Toyota GR Yaris. It was a car that made zero financial sense. Toyota, as a company, could’ve carried on

Learning is a never-ending process; this concept applies to driving too. Toyota embodies this culture through the philosophy of continuous improvement – kaizen. As drivers, so should we, given the number of cars we have and the amount of time we spend on the road. When it comes to driving, I like to divide it into two categories: street driving and performance driving. While there are some overlaps between the two, they are distinct enough to warrant separate consideration, as excelling in one d
