Toyota GR 86

April 5, 2021 M.K.

After selling 200,000 units, Toyota decided to launch a new generation GT 86. To respond to the new Subaru BRZ, introduced five months ago, Toyota decided to refresh the GT 86 with a new model, the GR 86.

The new GR 86 has a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with 232 hp (7,000 rpm) and 184 lb-ft of torque (3,700 rpm). Thanks to an increase in engine displacement of 400 cc, the GR has gained an additional 35 hp that allows it to accelerate from 0 – 62 mph in 6.3 seconds. It is 1.1 seconds faster than its predecessor. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, and a six-speed automatic transmission is also available.

For better stability and handling, the front suspension (MacPherson strut) and rear suspension (double-wishbone setup) have been strengthened. The roof and bumpers are made of aluminum, and 18-inch wheels with 215/40 tires have been installed.

The interior of the GR 86 is retained from its predecessor, and includes a 7-inch digital driver’s display, an 8-inch infotainment system and is very similar to the Subaru BRZ interior. The only difference is in the seat upholstery and GR badging on the steering wheel.

Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series With 1,111 HP

March 16, 2021 M.K.

The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is a new Opus project. As if the standard model and all its upgrades were not enough, Opus decided to go further and take this Black Series model to a higher level.

It is a model with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 1,111 hp. As a reminder, the standard Mercedes AMG GT delivers 456 hp. All this has been achieved thanks to better turbochargers, a modification of the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and the addition of specially forged pistons, and a modification of the fuel system.

There is also a slightly cheaper performance kit, thanks to which the GT Black Series has 1,001 hp.

In order to achieve maximum traction, Opus limited torque to a minimum. Custom light wheels as well as a range of aerodynamic accessories are also available.
