Toyota GT 86 2014-2015 is without exaggeration a charismatic and masterpiece car. The result of the joint work of engineers and designers of Subaru and Toyota led to the emergence of "twins": Toyota GT 86 and Subaru BRZ, presented in 2011. The creators can only say “Bravo!”, because despite the joint development, as well as the identity of the vast majority of the elements of both cars, each of the sports coupes has “individual” features characteristic of companies - corporate style. When looking at each of the cars standing nearby, you can accurately determine where the Subaru BRZ is located, and where the Toyota GT 86 is.
Today's review, dedicated to the bright sports coupe Toyota GT 86 2014-2015, we tried to "dilute" as many photos and videos as possible - the bright, brilliant, original and memorable appearance of the car is literally created to be admired. Therefore, we cannot deny you the pleasure of enjoying the colorful exterior (and interior that matches it well) of the rear-wheel drive Toyota GT 86 from as many angles as possible.
Before proceeding with the review of the Toyota GT86, we note that the only changes (rather insignificant) touched the car just a few months ago, while the basic version of the sports car became somewhat cheaper, and the rest of the equipment became more expensive. Other changes: the presence of more sporty suspension settings, the appearance of “carbon” inserts in the interior design, the presence of two new body colors: pearl white and metallic silver, the appearance of a new antenna made in the form of a “shark fin”.
The appearance of the Japanese sports coupe imperceptibly guesses the collective image of the sports car of the past century, which is unobtrusively confirmed by the size, length of the stern and hood, as well as the roof line. The front part of the Toyota GT86 is the most original and stylish, both the general appearance and all its individual elements are simply mesmerizing. Straight from above and intricately curved from below, the headlights of the car are separated from the plane of the hood by two waves of stampings, in the middle of the oblong hood there is the company's corporate emblem - thanks to two stampings that look like furrows and located along the edges of the emblem, it seems as if it "moves out" from the hood. Along the edges of the huge bumper there are large two-level niches - round foglights are located at the bottom, and direction indicators at the top. The sporty look of the front of the car is emphasized by a huge air intake grille, covered with a coarse mesh.
The calm side surface front and rear is limited by the elegant swollen wheel arches. Smooth from below, a high window sill line ends with a rounded roof, which smoothly flows into the stern. Also on the side stand out two-tone mirrors and the classic, slightly more protruding than usual, the shape of the door handles.
The stern of the Toyota GT86, as befits a sports car, is extremely short, the trunk lid is crowned with a spoiler. The shape of the rear lighting equipment, which received LED filling, echoes the shape of the headlights, at the bottom of the massive bumper there is a plastic trim divided into three parts, in the extreme of which there are large chrome exhaust system nozzles.
- The parameters of the Japanese sports coupe Toyota GT 86 2014-2015 are as follows: length - 4240 mm, width - 1775 mm, height - 1285 mm, wheelbase indicators - 2570 mm.
- The selected gearbox affects the clearance dimensions: in the case of an installed manual transmission, the ground clearance is 120 mm, automatic transmission - 130 mm.
- For cars, the installation of low-profile tires 215/45 R17, 215/45 R18, mounted on wheels of the appropriate diameters, is provided.
Note that the Toyota GT86 is thought out to the smallest detail, and is a full-fledged sports coupe: this is evidenced by the almost ideal weight distribution of 53% and 47% (for the front and rear axles, respectively); an excellent indicator of drag coefficient Cx - 0.27, as well as a small weight of the car, which is in the range of 1240-1260 kg, depending on the selected gearbox.
The interior of the sports car meets with forms and solutions that cannot be classified as typical for the eminent Japanese manufacturer - such an interior design is not found in other Toyota production cars. Bucket sports seats received fabric upholstery (in the initial configuration), in more expensive versions of the sports car, a combination of leather and Alcantara upholstery is used. The seats are equipped with heating functions, and also have powerful lateral support. Note that in the driver's seat, due to the unusually low landing, the first time it will be extremely difficult to find the ideal location - the landing forces the driver to be in a reclining position. However, after a short time, you clearly understand that this particular position is optimal for fast driving in a sports car.
Visually simple, but extremely comfortable in practice, the steering wheel (not least thanks to perforated leather inserts) is mounted vertically. The shift knob is also very convenient - in the middle of a high transmission tunnel. The instrument panel has 3 radii, in the middle is a tachometer with a small speedometer window (digital), next to it is the radius of the usual speedometer ring (marked up to 260 km / h) with an arrow, as well as a miniature on-board computer display. In tone with the steering wheel, the dashboard is also vertically located, on the sides of which there are round openings for air ducts. The top of the console is decorated with a 6.1-inch LCD display that displays information about the multimedia system (CD, MP3, AUX, USB, Bluetooth, 6 powerful speakers). Directly below the monitor are the climate control knobs. A decorative element of the interior, emphasizing the sporty orientation of the car, is a bright red line, which found a place on almost every element of the cabin: from the steering wheel to the parking brake.
In the second row, there is so little space that child seats can hardly be accommodated here (the ISOFIX anchorages required for this are available). In all other cases, the back row is only suitable for placing additional luggage. Note that the extra space in the Toyota GT86 (as in any other sports car) is very handy, because the volume of the luggage compartment (shortened to improve the appearance) is only 243 liters.
Options and price
Toyota GT86 2014, like a pre-styling car, is available in 3 main versions: "Elegance", "Prestige", "Lux", as well as 2 additional ones (they received the prefix "Aero", and differ in the presence enlarged spoiler, door sills and bumper). The basic package of the Toyota GT86, offered in the Russian Federation, includes: a light sensor, 2-zone climate control, 7 airbags, keyless entry is possible, as well as engine start using a button, bi-xenon headlights, a stabilization system, a active cruise control, alloy wheels with 215/45R17 treads. "Prestige" is distinguished by the presence of leather upholstery. "Lux" is the only version that is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission by default.
The price of the Toyota GT 86 Elegance in the Russian Federation starts at 1,294 rubles, dealers ask for Prestige from 1,429 thousand rubles, the cost of the Prestige Aero version starts at 1,491 rubles. The "Lux" version with automatic transmission costs a little more - from 1,500 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment "Lux Aero" is estimated at 1,562 thousand rubles.
Specifications
The technical characteristics of the 2014-2015 Toyota GT86 sports car fully met expectations: independent suspension, struts in front, double wishbones behind, electric power steering is used, as well as disc brakes (in front - with a diameter of 294 mm, behind - 290 mm). The heart of the sports car was a powerful (considering the weight of the car) "Subarovskaya" boxer 2-liter "four" (200 hp), aggregated with a 6-speed or 6-speed mortar. . Depending on the selected gearbox, Toyota GT86 accelerates to 100 km / h in 7.6 (8.2) seconds, with a “maximum speed” of 226 (210) km / h, with an average (declared) consumption of 7.8 (7, 1) l.
On the road, Toyota Jayty 86 behaves exactly as required from a sports car: the steering is informative and incredibly sensitive - the car seems to become an extension of the pilot, obediently and with lightning speed following his commands. The settings of the systems responsible for safety allow you to take turns in a skid (controlled) or in a slide. With all the outstanding driving characteristics of the Toyota GT86, while driving a sports car, it becomes clear that the car was created to drive on closed, perfectly smooth sports tracks.
Summing up, it should be noted that this time the Japanese manufacturer has surpassed itself (albeit not without the participation of Subaru): such an extraordinary and defiant, truly sports car has not appeared in the Toyota lineup for a very, very long time. The advantages of the Toyota GT86 are manifested in everything: it is a wonderful exterior, high-quality interior, excellent handling, excellent equipment, low fuel consumption, etc. Today we will somewhat deviate from established traditions, and we will not talk about the shortcomings of the GT 86 Toyota sports car, because the car simply does not have serious shortcomings that more or less affect performance - and any minor flaws (even if they suddenly show up), such a luxury car can and should be forgiven.
In early 2014, Toyota showed at the motor show in Detroit concept sports car FT-1, showing the design of future production models of the brand, in particular, the successor to the Supra. Soon this sports car replenished the "garage" Gran Turismo 6.
Now Toyota has introduced two new versions of the sports car. FT-1, created for participation in the Gran Turismo 6 series of computer games.
California-based Toyota design studio Calty Design Research has designed a new variant of the same car that is more track-oriented. New sports car named Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo(GT) will never be built "live" and will only exist in the virtual world.
The "virtual" sports car FT-1 Vision GT will face battles on computer tracks within the aforementioned series, but from the point of view of the creators of the concept, it is a track modification of the ancestor of this concept line - Toyota FT-1, presented at the beginning of the year at the Detroit auto show. It differs in body design and developed aerodynamic elements.
Toyota FT-1 Vision GT Concept also features an aggressive body kit that includes a large wing, ventilated fenders and a massive carbon fiber rear diffuser. Fully sports car will be declassified in the near future. Whether he will receive a physical embodiment or will exist only in the world of a computer game is still unclear. Several other manufacturers also involved in the Vision Gran Turismo project have built their cars in full size.
As for the second modification called Toyota FT-1 Concept, then it was considered by many to be the most clear hint of the appearance of the new generation Supra.
Its exterior looks as close to reality as possible (with the possible exception of extravagant mirrors and a transparent hood), and the interior is decorated in a much less futuristic spirit than the first concept in the series.
Toyota and BMW are in no hurry to share the technical details of a joint project, the result of which should be a new Japanese sports car. However, judging by the experiments that Toyota is putting on the interior and exterior of the future novelty, the project is developing at full speed.
Toyota has officially unveiled its version of the compact rear-wheel drive coupe, which was built in collaboration with specialists from Subaru. The European version of the novelty was named GT 86, while the analogue for the domestic Japanese market is simply called "86".
Recall that the history of the model began in 2009 with the demonstration of the Toyota FT-86 concept at the Tokyo Motor Show, and in the spring of this year in Geneva, the Japanese automaker demonstrated the FT-86 II Concept, which turned out to be the most similar to the serial version of the sports car.

In addition, the coupe was also recently declassified - both cars debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011 at the end of November. And in the North American market, the model is offered under the name.

From zero to hundreds of Toyota GT 86 on the mechanics accelerates in 7.6 seconds, and the version with a gun for this procedure takes 8.2 seconds. The maximum speed of a two-door with different types of boxes reaches 225 and 209 km / h, respectively.
The company tried to place the power unit as low as possible, so that the center of gravity of the JT 86 is at a height of only 475 mm. And the distribution of weight along the axes of the car is 53:47 in favor of the front.
The new rear-wheel drive chassis of the Toyota GT 86 uses McPherson at the front and a double-lever at the rear. 17-inch wheels are basic, while 18-inch wheels are installed on the Japanese market version.

For an intermediate version of the Prestige, dealers asked for 2,146,000 rubles, which additionally includes leather upholstery and a heating function. And earlier, the top modification Luxe was also delivered to us - it differs from the previous one only in an automatic transmission instead of mechanics.
It was possible to order a two-door in one of seven color options: black, white, gray, silver, blue, orange and red. For everything except the last one, an additional payment of 14,000 rubles was required.
In mid-May 2014, applications for restyled Toyota GT 86 coupes began to be accepted. The updated car received an upgraded suspension, a carbon fiber insert on the front panel in the cabin and a so-called “fin” on the roof instead of a conventional antenna. Plus, the model has acquired two additional body color options: pearl white and metallic silver. At the same time, the engine and prices for a two-door remained the same. In the summer of 2016, deliveries of the coupe to Russia were discontinued.
The 2017 Toyota GT-86 coupe was unveiled at the 2016 New York Auto Show. Outside, the novelty is easy to recognize by a different front bumper with a wide central air intake, lighting equipment with diode sections, a tweaked rear bumper, and new-design rims.
Inside, the restyled version of the GT86 differs from the pre-reform car in the steering wheel with audio control buttons and the “86” logo in the center, Alcantara inserts on the door panels, seats and dashboard, as well as a redesigned instrument panel with a modified tachometer, as well as the presence of 4.2 - inch TFT-display, which displays useful information.

(205 Nm), and on the version with manual transmission, its power has been increased to 207 forces and 212 Nm of torque (available in the range from 6,400 to 6,800 rpm), and gear ratios have been changed on machines with a manual transmission.

Deliveries of new items to the Russian market are not planned due to low demand (for four years, dealers managed to sell only 400 copies).

Under the hood, there will be the same engine as the expected Subaru Sibling (Subaru BRZ), a 2-liter gasoline aspirated engine, which Toyota will produce 200 horses, while Subarovtsy promised to “disperse” it to at least three hundred.
As a box, buyers will be offered a choice of either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
