As a result of a collaborative effort between the two Japanese automaker giants, Subaru and Toyota, the 86 was born. The 86 is Toyota’s version of that collaborative feat, with the BRZ being the alternate Subaru version. Designed as a sports coupe, the 86 layout boasts a superb power-to-weight ratio, adding up to its famed high levels of agility on the road, more so on the track.

Under the hood, it is equipped with a Subaru-derived 2.0L normally-aspirated 4-cylinder 200 hp boxer engine and Toyota’s performance-oriented D4-S fuel injection system. It is then mated to either 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

The 86 definitely made a lasting impression in the Philippines among our fellow Filipino car enthusiasts. The new 86 was tweaked aesthetically, featuring a wider grille, revamped bumper, new fog lamps, and redesigned tail lights. It’s also equipped with a capacitive touchscreen head unit with smartphone mirror link via WiFi function.
