Toyota 86

TOYOTA 86 - AZSP Motorsports

The Toyota 86 is 2+2 sports cars jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, manufactured at Subaru's Gunma assembly plant, using same parts and setting for most with Subaru BRZ. The 2+2 fastback coupé is noted for its naturally-aspirated boxer engine, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive configuration, 53/47 front/rear weight balance and low centre of gravity — and for drawing inspiration from Toyota's earlier AE86, a small, light, front-engine/rear-drive Corolla variant widely popular for Showroom Stock, Group A, Group N, Rally, Club and drift racing. For the first-generation model, Toyota marketed the sports car as the 86 in Asia, Australia, North America (from August 2016), South Africa, and South America; as the Toyota GT86 in Europe; as the 86 and GT86 in New Zealand; as the Toyota FT86 in Brunei, Nicaragua and Jamaica and as the Scion FR-S (2012–2016) in the United States and Canada. The second-generation model is marketed by Toyota as the GR86 as a reference to its Gazoo Racing division, and there are significant parts and setting differences with BRZ.
