Toyota GT86 Price and More Information

The Toyota GT86 is available in Spain from 29 990 euros with manual gearbox. The automatic transmission version costs 3500 euros, a very expensive option. The GT86 is virtually the same car as the Subaru BRZ model that does not hit the market until later this year. It's a coupe of 4.24 meters long and 1.29 meters high. Although his body is relatively small, the two front seats are spacious and worth for people of high stature. Subsequent, very small, not suitable for use by passengers as usual. has a length similar to that of a Nissan 370Z , but this model is more expensive. Somehow, if we except the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 is in a position almost of market exclusivity. For price and power, is much closer to models of front wheel drive, like the Volkswagen Scirocco or the Peugeot RCZ. However, by type of traction (to the rear wheels) is much more expensive models like powerful as the above mentioned model Nissan and even the Porsche Cayman. According to the price comparison and technical characteristics, the only other coupe in the market between 180 and 220 hp rear-wheel drive: the BMW 1 Series Coupé , a model that has different qualities to Toyota GT86.

Feels like driving, it is also difficult to find a competitor to the Toyota GT86. It seems suitable for lovers of style driving fast for road curves and who usually roll on circuits. It has a quick and precise steering, suspension very hard, a gearbox manual short runs, a touch that leaves brake very precisely metered braking and heat resistant brakes in heavy use. Besides this car be slower or faster than others in a circuit (which I have not tried), the driver has the feeling of going fast at the wheel of the Toyota GT86 because it isolates some soil condition, engine sound and has vivid reactions.The Toyota GT 86 engine has 200 horsepower, enough to go too fast in slow corners roads (and circuit) but it is very strong, especially when compared with similar power turbocharged engines. Required, to give a lot of acceleration, using gears constantly changing to keep at a high rate. If it drops to about 5000 revolutions per minute, can not believe that has 200 horsepower. If the Toyota GT86 is faster because it is not even much. In contrast, the ratio of its weight (1314 kg) and power (200 hp) gives a favorable value. However, according to our measurements of throttle, car has not been a particularly swift and remains at a significant distance from more speed models with similar power who have gone through us.

 
 
However, the low weight and aerodynamic drag seems that it positively affects consumption. We recorded consumption values ​​clearly below what is normal in powerful petrol cars, with results of around 7.0 l/100 km freeway legal speeds. Toyota advanced the design and some of the features of GT86 with FT-86. Throughout its history, Toyota has sold several vehicles coupe or convertible body oriented 'sports': the 2000 GT, Corolla Coupe, the Celica , Supra and MR2 .
