I know they said there'd be no turbo'd STI version... But when're they gonna release the turbo'd STI version?

[Bugle]

Whos idea was the dubstep background music... Still want one

[BlkPnthr]

Would be my first purchase if i won lotto.. buying a ticket would help. Change in wheels would be the first mod too, the stock ones are pretty ugly IMO

[paulngui]

The trd gt86 would be my choice personally. Not a fan of the brz's front.

Remember...the cars base was designed around people playing with it anyway and changing it.

It wasnt made as a be all end all development. good times.

tl:dr

 

but as you can see from this and the previous picture, the ring and pinion is plenty big to throw a bit of power at it if that's what people want to do. Once finished, our LSD will easily take the power.

over engineered rear diff.. sounds all good from where i sit.

More press coverage...

Free glossy 86 book with Wheels July 2012.

EVO July 2012 test of the Toyota GT86

 

It's a better car than the BRZ.

This is nearly the car we have been dreaming about.

Went for a drive in a Toyota 86 last night!

Impressive for a NA and sounded epic.

Toyota have a long wait list now. They have pulled alot of cars from other countries and sending them to US instead. I got told that if we order now, we would only get one at end of year.

Funny thing, Of the couple ive seen on road, all been driven by "mid-life crisis" old men.

Whats funny is that reporter for that mag hasnt driven the BRZ yet so they are just hyping it.

[newsuba]

What you on about Willis ?

The guy who tested the Toyota (Jethro Bovingdon) was part of the team that drove the BRZ for the EVO June cover story.

[wrxguy]

Hey all. Anyone else seen this?

There is a few more on there as well

[aim]

Haha nice - "May cause slide effects"

[Stoffa]

I saw one at my mates workshop the other night, had a UGLY aerokit on it and horrible wheels, but still a cool little car. I did snap a little pic but promised not to post it all over the net, as it was one of toyota's demo models that haven't been given to the press to test drive yet

[Old Skool Subbie]

I can't wait to take one for a test drive.

They officially come out next week. I think on Monday?
