TheToyota 86and theSubaru BRZare2+2sports carsjointly developed byToyotaandSubaru,manufactured at Subaru'sGunmaassembly plant.[1]

The 2+2fastbackcoupéhas anaturally-aspiratedboxer engine,front-engined, rear-wheel-driveconfiguration, 53/47 front/rear weight balance and low centre of gravity; it was inspired by Toyota's earlierAE86,a small, light, front-engine/rear-driveCorollavariant widely popular forShowroom Stock,Group A,Group N,Rally,Club anddriftracing.

For the first-generation model, Toyota marketed the sports car as the86in Asia, Australia, North America (from August 2016), South Africa, and South America;[2]as theToyota GT86in Europe; as the 86 and GT86 in New Zealand; as theToyota FT86in Brunei, Nicaragua and Jamaica and as theScion FR-S(2012–2016) in the United States and Canada.[3][4]

The second-generation model is marketed by Toyota as theGR86as part of theGazoo Racingfamily.[5]

Name

[edit]

The development code of the 2+2 was086A[6]and the eight six (Hachi-Roku in Japanese), references the historic 1983 to 1987AE86.[7]

Pre-launch concept cars

[edit]

Initial layout and design elements for the 86 were presented by Toyota using its "FT" (Future Toyota)concept carnomenclature. The first was theToyota FT-HS,which was presented at theNorth American International Auto Showin 2007. It had a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout and 2+2 seating and was powered by aV6 enginewithhybrid electricassistance. In 2008, Toyota bought 16.5% ofFuji Heavy Industries,which includes the Subaru automotive brand.[8]Toyota, led by project leader Tetsuya Tada,[9]then invited Subaru to partner in the project, by co-developing the new D-4S boxer engine.[10]The offer, which conflicted with Subaru's reputation for high performanceall-wheel drive(AWD) cars, was rejected. The project came to a six-month halt before Toyota invited journalists and Subaru engineers to test a developmental prototype. Following the test, Subaru agreed to become further involved in development.[11]

Toyota FT-86 Concept (2009)

The collaboration produced a concept car, theFT-86 Concept,which debuted at theTokyo Motor Showin October 2009. Smaller than the FT-HS, the design of the FT-86 was further refined by Toyota'sED2design studiowhile the hybrid V6 powerplant was replaced by the new D-4S boxer. Subaru provided the chassis, modifying it from theirImpreza.The custom red paint was based on the backside of aJapanese macaque.[12]Classic Toyota sports cars such as the AE86,CelicaandSuprawere cited as inspirations for the concept.[13]

At the2010 Tokyo Motor Show,Toyota launched itsG Sportsline of aftermarket accessories, along with theFT-86 G Sportsconcept car. It featured G Sports carbon fibre panels, a ventedbonnet,rear wing, 19 in (48 cm) wheels,Recarorace seats, and an interior rollcage.[14]The D-4S engine also added aturbocharger.[15]

In 2011, Toyota and Subaru unveiled five near-production concept cars to show their progress with the project. The first, known as theFT-86 II Concept,was unveiled at theGeneva Motor Showin March 2011. ED2refined the design of the initial FT-86, by developing new front and rear fascias, and marginally increasing the dimensions of the concept.[16]At the same show, Subaru unveiled a transparent silhouette of the car showing the new D-4S boxer engine and displayed the "Boxer Sports Car Architecture".[17]

Scion followed in April 2011 at theNew York International Auto Showwith theFR-S Sports Coupé Concept,co-developed with aftermarket tuner Five Axis.[18]Another semi-transparent Subaru concept, known as theBRZ Prologue,was shown at theFrankfurt Motor Showthat September,[19]followed in November at theLos Angeles Auto Showby theBRZ Concept STi,the first full mock-up of Subaru's version of the 86 with input fromSubaru Tecnica International(STI).[20]

Development and production

[edit]

The production Toyota 86 debuted at theDecember 2011 Tokyo Motor Show.Its development was led by chief engineer Testuya Tada.[31]All variants are built at Subaru's Gunma Main Plant,[32]with the first cars assembled on 2 February 2012 before sales began in March and deliveries in April. 7,000 orders were placed for the Toyota 86 in the first month of production,[33]while Subaru took in 3,500 orders.[34]

In the United States, Scion were allocated 10,000 units of the 2013model year(MY13) production,[35]while Subaru was limited to only 6,000 units.[36]

Engineering

[edit]

The 86's low-weight design uses an aluminium hood, a fixed roof, and a trunk as opposed to ahatchback.[37][38]To improve driving dynamics, the boxer engine is mounted low in a front engine / rear drive layout, yielding aweight distributionof 53% in front and 47% in the rear and a low centre of mass height.[37]

The 86's engine, known by the Toyota code4U-GSEand Subaru codeFA20,is anaturally aspirated enginethat uses Subaru'sflat-four enginedesign, with the addition of Toyota's D-4S injection system, which usesGasoline direct injection(GDI). With itsfront-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout,its engine runs on 98RON(premium unleaded) fuel and features acompression ratioof 12.5:1 with aboreandstrokeof 86 mm (3.39 in) for a totaldisplacementof 2.0 L; 121.9 cu in (1,998 cc) that results in 200 PS (197 bhp; 147 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb⋅ft (205 N⋅m) of torque at 6,400 rpm.[39][40]

The 86, BRZ and FR-S are offered with two 6-speed transmissions: an in-house developed Toyota TL70 manual gearbox (based onAisinAI's AZ6[41]) and an Aisin-WarnerA960Eautomatic transmission,which is modified from that used on theLexus IS 250.The latter uses a traditional wet torque converter design, but its software has been engineered to mimic the response of adual-clutch transmission.The automatic transmission uses three different modes: Sport, Snow, and Normal. A torsen stylelimited slip differentialis standard on most models.

The vehicles are offered with 16 "steel and alloy wheels fitted withYokohamadB Decibel E70 tyres in 205/55 size or 17 "alloy wheels fitted withMichelinPrimacy HP tyres in 215/45 size, depending on sales market. The limited editionsToyota Racing Development(TRD) GT86 models are instead offered with 18 "forged aluminium wheels, which are fitted with either Yokohama Advan Sport tyres or Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres in 225/40 size, also depending on market. The braking systems vary between models and countries:

  • Dual-piston front sliding calipers, single-piston rear sliding calipers, 294/290 mm ventilated disks (front/rear) - US market, EU markets, higher trim levels on most other markets
  • Dual-piston front sliding calipers, single-piston rear sliding calipers, 277 mm ventilated disks front / 286 mm solid disks rear - lower trim levels on most other markets
  • Four-piston front fixed calipers, two-piston rear fixed calipers, 326/316 mm ventilated disks (front/rear) - Performance Pack cars
  • Six-piston front fixed calipers, four-piston rear fixed calipers, 355 mm two-piece / 345 mm ventilated disks (front/rear) - TRD Edition cars

Suspension design comprises frontMacPhersonstrutsanddouble wishbonesat the rear.

In 2016, for the 2017 model year, the manual transmission 86 was upgraded to 153 kW (205 bhp; 208 PS) and 212 N⋅m (156 lb⋅ft). The finaldrive ratiowas changed from 4.10 to 4.30.[42]

Facelift (2017)
Toyota GT86 (United Kingdom; facelift)

Design

[edit]

The 86's rear-wheel drive configuration and front-mounted flat boxer engine allow a low centre of gravity for strong handling characteristics.[7]The bodywork has a drag coefficient ofCd=0.27.[43]

The "86" boxer side badge on Toyota and Scion models

According to the 86's designers, "The goal was to create an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car with compelling style, exceptionally balanced performance and handling, flexible utility and surprising MPG."[7]When asked about the TRD version of the car, the lead engineer Mr. Tada said "There is definitely going to be a more TRD oriented variant down the line. However any of the parts that would be standard on the TRD model will fit on your current Toyota 86 so there is no need to wait."[44]

The design of the GT86 was inspired by the Toyota 2000GT, as part of the concept of 'Neo Functionalism' (the idea that the cars driving quality and appearance were part of its functionality). 2000GT references were especially apparent in the side profile, windows and dashboard of the car.[45][13]

The 86 "boxer" side badge appears on all Toyota and Scion versions of the car, but not the Subaru BRZ. Aside from badging, the main differences between the 86/GT86 and the BRZ are the front grilles and bumper bars.

The car included numerous references to the number 86:[6][46]

  • the engine bore and stroke is 86mm x 86mm
  • the diameter of the exhaust tip is also 86mm.

Interior

[edit]
Toyota 86 interior with bucket seats

The interior uses low mounted front seats and fold down rear enabling increased storage space.[37]The FR-S and base 86 models have cloth seats with all black interior trim with a black patterned dash trim, and shift boot red stitching. The BRZ has two available interiors, one identical to the FR-S but with silver dash trim, a red stitched parking brake boot, black gauge faces (instead of the white tachometer of the 86 GTS models) and a touch-screen navigation head unit; the second interior to leather and Alcantara heated seats, automatic HVAC controls, and a push-button start. The top-of-the-range 86 models are fitted like the BRZ except as noted above, and the Japanese interior can be had in black/red leather and Alcantara or full black leather and Alcantara.

Performance

[edit]
  • Top speed: 145 mph (233 km/h) (as tested)[47]
  • Acceleration:
    • 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h): 7.6 seconds (manufacturer's claim)[48]
    • 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h): 6.0-6.2 seconds (estimated)[49][50]
    • Standing 1/4 Mile: 14.7-14.9 seconds (estimated).[49]

Toyota 86, GT86 and FT86

[edit]

The Toyota 86 is available in Japan from Toyota'sNetz StoreandCorolla Storeline of dealerships; the 1980s Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno were sold at the same networks. Four trim levels are offered, with the RC model being the base aimed at people wishing to modify or race their vehicles.[51][52]This model is available with only a 6-speed manual transmission and comes with unpainted bumpers and mirrors, 16 inch steel wheels, simpler interior trim components, analogue speedometer and no stereo or air conditioning. Outside Japan, the RC model is only available in New Zealand. The G model adds all the interior components missing from the RC, plus a fully painted exterior and 16 inch alloy wheels and the availability of an automatic transmission. The GT86 model addshigh intensity dischargeheadlights withLEDdaytime running lights,fog lamps, automatic climate control, keyless start with engine start button, 17 inch alloy wheels, chrome exhaust tips, white tachometer face with analogue and digital speedometer, silver accents on the centre dash and steering wheel, aluminium pedals. The top-of-the-range GT Limited adds leather andAlcantaraseating and a rearspoiler.

In Europe, GT86 models are generally the same as the Japanese 86 GT with a red/black leather/Alcantara interior with red stitching. In the United Kingdom, the Japanese G model is sold as the GT86 Primo[47]and the car has also been available as a limited edition Toyota Racing Development "TRD GT86", which features: 18 inch forged aluminium wheels with Yokohama Advan Sport tyres; full bodykit with front and side skirts, rear spoiler and new diffuser; quad-exhaust system; TRD-branded detailing on the filler cap, radiator cap and gear knob. In New Zealand, the TRD 86 is sold with the above features except for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres instead plus upgraded TRD braking system. Options not available to all markets include a Bose sound system upgrade.

In Australia, the GT is the equivalent of the Japanese G model but with only an all black interior trim and standard radio head unit, whereas the top-of-the-range GTS model is the equivalent of the Japanese GT Limited except for an all black leather/Alcantara and red-stitch interior trim only and touchscreen multimedia head unit. Upon Australian launch in June 2012, all models for Australia featured a full-size spare wheel, the GTS lacked a rear spoiler, and alimited slip differentialor LSD was standard on all models except automatic GT's.[46]The full-size spare wheel was phased out after the first shipments to Australia, replaced with a repair kit. This model also benefited from a remapping of its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to address initial reports of rough idling and stalling.[53]The range of models and main options had the following retail prices: GT manualA$29,990;GT automaticA$32,490;GTS manualA$35,490;GTS automaticA$37,990;metallic paintA$425for all models; "Aero pack" bodykitA$3,000for GTS only.

As of the August 2013 production update (which carried the formal year designation MY14), the automatic GT also gained LSD as standard (but with a price increase ofA$300;manual price unchanged in Australia) and the GTS gained the same rear spoiler fitted to the Japanese GTS Limited and the Subaru BRZ (with a price increase ofA$500for both the manual and automatic model in Australia).[54]Other distinguishing features on the MY14 models include the removal of the lettered "TOYOTA" badge from the rear bonnet of the GTS and optional availability of rear parking sonar sensors on GT and GTS.

In July 2014, an updated version of the Australian Toyota 86 range was launched with year designation MY15. The key highlights include: revised suspension settings; "shark-fin" roof antenna; GTS instrument cluster on GT; carbon-fibre look dash insert and reverse-view camera on GTS; new white and silver exterior paints. The price of the GT remained unchanged while the GTS was the subject of a price increase ofA$500andA$800for the manual and automatic version, respectively.[55]

In late 2014, as part of its MY15 range, Toyota offered in the UK two new models: the GT86 Aero, featuring a full bodykit and 18 inch OZ Ultraleggera alloy wheels in anthracite grey finish; and the GT86 "Giallo" (meaning yellow in Italian), limited to only 86 units.[56]Similar to the latter, Toyota also offered in Italy a total of 50 "Limited Edition" models.[57]Externally, the key distinguishing feature of these limited editions is the newSunrise Yellowmetallic paint and black side stripes (bonnet, roof and bonnet stripes are available in the UK at no extra cost and standard in Italy). The interior is distinguished by a limited edition badge and heated quilt leather seats with yellow 86 logo. The retail price of the Limited Edition in Italy is€28,500, which translates to€1,700 more than the standard base model.[58]

At the same time in Japan, Toyota released the 14R-60 model limited to 100 units, inspired by the GT86 TRD Griffon Project of 2013. Its engine power remains the same as the standard models despite featuring various drivetrain changes such as twin central exhausts, a TRD mechanical LSD, a short-shifter, and revised gearing for the six-speed manual transmission. Other changes include extra body reinforcement, a variable-height coil-over spring suspension setup and more rigid suspension bushings. A TRD bodykit with carbon fibre components is complemented by 18 inch magnesium wheels and, overall, 14R-60 model results lighter than the base model. Inside there are race-style bucket seats with four-point belts, an Alcantara-clad steering wheel, carbon fibre dashboard trim and yellow piping and highlights. Price-wise, this Japan-only model is listed for¥6,300,000,which is significantly higher than the¥2,100,000for the base RC model or¥3,100,000for the top-of-the-range GT Limited.[59]

In 2015, the 86xstyle Cb was officially launched after its presentations at the 2013 and 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon. It is characterised by a drastically different front end design with revised lights and bumper bar but standard bonnet. Available in 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, it has revised interior trimmings including a red Cb logo embroidered leather steering wheel, white (instead of red) backlit instruments and a dark woodgrain-style panel across the dashboard. The most peculiar features are the replacement of the front side gills with a set of LED-illuminated fins and optional contrasting colour for the car's upper body section. Another option is different alloy wheels than those fitted as standard on the GT86. On sale from April, this Japan-only model is listed for¥4,180,000,which is a¥1,280,000premium over the regular 86 GT on which this variant is based.[60]

To celebrate Australia's 86 2016 Pro-Am racing series,[61][62][63]the following November Toyota launched 450 "Blackline" units (250 of which with manual transmission). Based on the standard GTS model, this limited edition carries aA$2,000premium because of its cosmetic upgrade with TRD parts and special livery.[64]

In Indonesia, the 86 was launched in 2012.[65]The facelifted version was launched in August 2016.[66]Toyota Indonesia sells the 86 in the TRD package with only an automatic transmission and the non-TRD package with both manual and automatic transmission.[67]

In 2018, Toyota sold a special edition 86 called Apollo Blue to celebrate that the 86 had passed 20,000 units sold in Australia. It features a unique Apollo Blue body colour, black rear spoiler and mirror caps, and is only available with the optional Dynamic Performance Package.[68]It was only sold inAustraliaandUnited Kingdom[citation needed]with both manual and automatic transmission options.

Peculiarly, in Jamaica and Nicaragua, the 86 is marketed and sold using one of its pre-launch concept car badges, the "FT-86".[69][70]

Although BRZ production ended in July 2020, 86 production was to continue at least until the third quarter of 2020.[71]

Subaru BRZ

[edit]
Subaru BRZ (pre-facelift)

The BRZ's name comes from three elements: Boxer engine, rear-wheel drive, and Z standing for Zenith.[72][73]The Subaru BRZ differs from the 86's design in the front fascia, with a different grille and headlight assembly, as well as a different front fender vent. The BRZ's grill is hexagonal in shape, compared to the Toyota's trapezoid. The BRZ features a wraparound of LED parking lights in the headlight assembly, while daytime running lights are integrated into the bumper. The suspension setup of the Subaru is different from the Toyota.[74]Like the Japanese Toyota 86, Subaru offers an RA base model lacking most interior comforts and using 16 inch steel wheels, with the only difference from the 86 RC being that the BRZ RA's bumpers are painted the same colour as the body. Two main trim levels are offered: R trim, known as Premium in North America, and S trim, known as Limited in North America. The most notable differences between the trims being the S trim (Limited) received leather seats with Alcantara inserts that were heated rather than the cloth seats in the R trim (Premium). In Europe and Australia BRZs offer a Toyota stereo unit, while Japanese and North American vehicles use a Subaru unit. Australian BRZs were originally available for sale only online.

Interior

In 2013, Subaru unveiled a BRZ tS model for the Japanese market, tuned by STI. The tS model features an improved suspension setup, 18 inch silverBBS wheels,STI bodykit and front spoiler, a largerdrive shaft,andBrembobrakes, along with interior changes including a new steering wheel, front seat, gauges, and Alcantara accents.[75]A further tS GT Package includesRecaroseats, black BBS wheels, and an adjustablecarbon fibrerear wing. The tS is limited to 500 units in total, with a maximum of 250 of them being the GT package.[76]In 2015, a similar release of 300 units was sold again only in Japan.[77]

In 2014, as part of running changes consistent with those of the MY15 Toyota 86 GTS, the Subaru BRZ also featured a new key fob and two new colours, including 'WR Blue Pearl' metallic finish.[78]In addition, Subaru also launched special editions both for the United States and Australia markets. For the former, one thousand BRZ Series. Blue editions were marketed at additional cost, half painted inBlue Pearland the other half inCrystal Pearl White.This model featured STI body kit parts, 17-inch STI black alloy wheels and red brake calipers. For Australia, Subaru launched a similar variant known as the Special Edition, also at additional cost. It featured stripes across the bonnet, boot and roof; 17-inch STI black alloy wheels; STI boot spoiler plus front, side and rear-side under spoilers; a rear diffuser and a push-button starter switch. It was available in every existing BRZ paint hue.[79]

Subaru BRZ (facelift)

In 2015, for the 2016 model year, Subaru released the limited editionHyper Bluerange across its WRX, WRX STI and BRZ models. In Australia, the BRZ was limited to 50 units with manual transmission only. This limited edition is characterised by the said blue paint and a host of other cosmetic upgrades.[80]

For the 2017 model year Subaru released another new special edition for the newly redesigned BRZ. This edition is called the Series.Yellow in America which was limited to 500 units but known as the Inazuma Edition in Canada which was limited to between 200-250 cars. This special edition is based on the Limited trim level for the BRZ and features the optional Performance package as standard, which includes 4 piston Brembo brakes in the front, 2 piston Brembo brakes in the rear, and Sachs dampers, a special yellow body colour called Charlesite Yellow with black trim, a yellow embroidered BRZ logo on the seats, and yellow accents and stitching throughout the interior.[81]

In February 2018, Subaru of America released a limited edition SOA 50th Anniversary edition BRZ based on the Limited trim level featuring Heritage Blue exterior colour, satin chrome exterior trim and badging; and SOA 50th anniversary emblem. The interior features black upholstery with contrasting silver stitching; silver seatbelts; and the 50th Anniversary logo embroidered on the front seats and carpeted floor mats. Only 250 were made.[82]

In late July 2020, Subaru ended production of the first-generation BRZ, and no more orders were accepted.[71]

Scion FR-S

[edit]
Scion FR-S (North America)

In the United States and Canada, the GT86 was initially sold under Toyota's youth-orientedScionbrand, with its name derived from a description of the platform:Front-engine,Rear-wheel drive,Sport.[18]Scion used a simplified "pure price" sales model that eschewed traditional factory options in favor of fixed base-vehicle pricing and buyer customization via dealer-installed accessories;[83]hence, the FR-S was offered in a single standard trim, with exterior colours and the choice of transmission typically being the only factory options. However, Scion offered some limited-production special editions with added factory equipment and exclusive colours.

10 Series

[edit]

As part of the 10th anniversary of the Scion marque, 2,500 units of "10 Series" FR-S models were released by Scion in June 2013 for the 2013 model year. They were painted inSilver Ignitionand fitted with extra equipment, including HID headlights, automatic climate control, push button start, illuminated exterior badges plus shifter knob.[84][85]

Monogram Series

[edit]

In January 2014, Scion released the "Monogram Series" limited to 2000 units worldwide. Of these, only 25% came equipped with a manual transmission making the rarest examples those delivered in Asphalt (61K) or Hot Lava (H8R) with a manual transmission.[citation needed]

This FR-S closely matched the equipment offered on Toyota's GTS-variant including: heated leather and Alcantara seats; keyless entry with push button start; rear seat centre armrest; frameless rear view mirror; heated side mirrors; automatic high-intensity discharge headlamps with LED daytime running lights; dual-zone climate control; colour-keyed rear spoiler; BeSpoke audio and navigation.[citation needed]

Toyota offered some limited dealer installed options, most notably the TRD leather steering wheel manufactured by MOMO. This rare option was only offered through dealers for two model years starting in 2014. This rare TRD steering wheel was only available as standard equipment on the Release Series 1.0.[citation needed]

Release Series 1.0

[edit]

Presented at the April 2014New York Auto Showand mirroring the European "Giallo" and "Limited Edition" yellow-painted special editions, Scion released 1500 units of the “Release Series 1.0” in similarYuzu Yellowpaint. It features TRD bodykit and quad-tip exhaust system, along with TRD lowered suspension, TRD steering wheel and shift knob and the highest specification (dual A/C, HID headlamps with LED daytime running lamps, push-button start-stop) plus a numbered commemorative plaque near the gearshift lever.[86]

Release Series 2.0

[edit]

In October 2015, Scion revealed a limited run of 1000 cars called the FR-S Release Series 2.0.[87]

Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque, in August 2016 the FR-S was re-branded as the Toyota 86 in North America for the 2017 model year and onward.[3][4][88]

Commenting on the new car, Toyota's Australian Divisional Manager National Marketing Brad Cramb said:” The Toyota 86 lends itself perfectly to a concept that expands its appeal with added versatility while retaining its sleek and sporty coupe styling and sharp, responsive driving character”.

Toyota 86 Fujiwara Tofu Shop (2016)

[edit]

In 2016, Toyota UK created a "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" version of the car as a homage to the mangaInitial Dand the car the protagonist drives, anAE86Sprinter Trueno.[130][131]

Marketing

[edit]

At the Subaru BRZ's market launch, a 2-part film documented the car's development.[132]In Canada, a TV commercial titledScorchedwas shot atQueenand McCaul St. in Toronto.[133][134][135][136]

In Australia, Subaru BRZ was the first new car ever to be sold on that market exclusively online, with orders opening on 16 July 2012. It was also marketed with free servicing for 3 years or 60,000 km. According to Subaru this sale concept was a success, after the entire 2012 Australian allocation of 201 cars was sold in under 3 hours. The first buyer was able to secure their car in less than 20 minutes from the site going live. This sale process was implemented as a consequence of the demand for the Toyota 86 far outstripping supply (resulting in long delivery times) and a low BRZ supplies for Australia. As of 1 January 2014, the vehicle became available both online and at dealerships, with free servicing no longer included in the purchase.[137]

Scion made a similar decision in the United States, creating the 'First 86' program to allow 86 buyers to take delivery of their cars before the general public sales. On 12 January 2012 users had eight hours and six minutes to submit their requests to a program website. Winners were required to take their confirmation number and $500 to a dealer within 96 hours to claim their cars.[138]Scion produced a commercial calledClose CallfeaturingKen Gushiavoiding a collision with a deer while driving Scion FR-S in Mt. Diablo State Park in Northern California.[139]

A British Toyota GT86 commercial titledThe Real Dealwas banned for encouraging motorists to drive irresponsibly.[140]

Compared to the previous genFA20it retains a free-revving character, with a larger cylinder bore increasing peak torque at a lower rpm.[150]

When tested byCar and Driver,the BRZ achieved a 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) time of 5.4 seconds, with the top speed electronically limited to 225 km/h (140 mph).[151]
