More Details on the Upcoming 2012 Toyota/Subaru RWD 086A (AE86) Sports Coupe Revealed

[Gee]

If this is how it looks, I'm having one!

We all remember the Toyota Corolla RWD AE86 coupe, which is a drifter’s dream car. It seems we are getting more and more confirmations of a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru making a come-back in this missing-link that Toyota as had for over a decade now.


A “Toyota Insider” has some new information for us revealing that this new car, code named 086A, will be lower and wider than the out-going Toyota Celica (2000-2006) with an “orthodox 2+2 coupe style and a silhouette resembling the Lexus LF-A“.

A new rendering from 7TUNE reveals what this new coupe could look like. Now that I think about it, this looks similar to much older renderings that we use to speculate being the new Toyota Supra. Well, maybe Toyota has had this car up their sleeves for longer than we think.

Toyota/Subaru, according to the “Toyota Insider”, will still attempt to keep the price relatively low around the $25,000usd mark.

The stats for the 086A are as follows:

Similar power and weight to a S14 200SX which is good enough. Im just glad its not as heavy as expected with all these modern regulations.

 

[dac69er]

will probably look bugger all like that if and when it goes into production. will probably look all generic like all other cars

Power is not everything as its more than enough to have fun with.

 

[Monkfish]

That's a funky looking drawing.

I'll be surprised if it looks anything remotely like that on release, and I bet Toybaru won't bother releasing it in the UK.

Power is not everything as its more than enough to have fun with.

True, the AE86 only had about 130bhp and they were and still are plenty of fun!

True, the AE86 only had about 130bhp and they were and still are plenty of fun!

But they were around 850-900kg i think but 200bhp in this is plenty for a car of this weight.
