With the Toyota GT86 would revive the successful sports car history again. Inspiration, the designers picked the top model of the 1960s, the 2000GT. In collaboration with a 2 +2- seater in the Subaru due to its low weight in combination with a 200-hp boxer engine was intended to provide one thing: fun.
There is no second chance for a first impression. The GT86 is because of optically positive. With dimensions of 4,240 millimeters long and 1,775 millimeters wide and a height of only 1,285 millimeters it is compact, especially. In addition, a low center of gravity to provide a sporty tuning.
Even from behind the GT86 is decidedly sporty. The rear spoiler designed
to increase lateral stability. With the raised rear diffuser want the
Toyota engineers designed especially to optimize the aerodynamics.
Rounding out the rear is through the twin chrome exhaust pipe, in which
the developers have taken the number 86 again. The inner diameter of the
tailpipes is namely exactly 86 mm.
The inspiration for the car
came from the ancestor of the GT86, the 2000 GT. Its design is partially
indicated in the new model: It is found, for example, again in the form
of the side windows.
For the drive equipped Toyota one of Subaru
Boxer engine with the latest in-house direct. It should be deliberately
avoided a turbocharger. The result is a four-cylinder boxer engine with
1998 cc displacement This is optionally available with a six-speed
manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The cockpit is
designed to provide one thing: functionality. The large tachometer
dominates the three-piece combination tool. With a diameter of 365
millimeters at the GT86 installed steering wheel is the smallest so far,
Toyota, and thus tuned to the sporty orientation, the navigation system
Touch & Go is again an extra charge.
The seats seem to be
athletic and at sharp bends excellent lateral support. The tests
confirmed the Nürburgring, where "automobile industry" took part.
Before
the start of the sprint track the vehicles were in various colors still
relatively good standing in line. This should, however, change quickly
...
The GT86 can also be moved in the border area. Drifts are
easily after disconnecting the assistance systems possible. The power of
the suction motor is brought very straight to the road and the low
weight is very helpful during the maneuvers.
Until the tire
smoke: Here, the sports car is on the same tires as a Prius. But that is
sufficient to quickly rob around the curves.
Toyota wants to
bring the GT86 for around 30,000 euros in the trade. Thus, the Japanese
offer an affordable entry into the sports car world. While 200 hp seem
rather tame in comparison, but the vote of the vehicle to be what the
developers should achieve: sporty driving.
