The new Toyota GR86 could hit the market soon

After the recent announcement that it was withdrawing the GR86 model from the European market, information appeared that Toyota is preparing the third generation of this model, which could arrive on the market in 2025.

What most people are interested in is the powertrain that could power the new generation Toyota GR86. According to some rumors, Toyota could opt for two hybrid options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine or a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. The second option has a slightly better chance.

New rumors suggest that the engine could be similar to the 1.6-liter G16E-GTS three-cylinder engine that powers the Toyota GR Yaris and Toyota GR Corolla, but with more power (about 300 hp and 276 pound-feet of torque) and a hybrid system. This could mean that the choice of a 6-speed automatic or manual gearbox could be retained to send power to the rear wheels.

It is also rumored that the car could be built on a modified platform used by the Lexus IS. That would mean a length of 4400mm, a width of 1800mm, a height of 1300mm and a wheelbase of 2600mm.

Toyota GR Yaris with 740 HP

The Toyota GR Yaris is the most powerful B-segment car, and thanks to one of the best tuners in all of Oceania, Powertune Australia, it has become a road beast with 740 hp.

The standard Toyota GR Yaris is powered by a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 261 hp (192 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). However, thanks to the installation of an upgraded Garrett G25-550 turbocharger with a Turbosmart 45 mm wastegate valve and a Plazmaman 350-370 kw intercooler, the engine’s output is 740 hp (544 kW).

The GR Yaris is finished in dark gray with contrasting black digitally printed decals and gold alloy wheels. It is equipped with camshaft holders and Gelford Performance valve springs that make this 1280 kg car a killer of modern supercars.

For comparison, the Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody has 26 hp less and 1520 kg more than the Toyota GR Yaris. It is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine with 717 hp (527 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission.

Toyota GR Corolla

After GR Yaris, Toyota and Gazoo Racing used the same recipe and created the long-awaited GR Corolla that will delight fans of pure C-segment sports cars.

The car is equipped with aluminum doors and bonnet. With the Circuit Edition package comes a carbon roof, but also Torsen differentials with a mechanically limited lock. Price and performance data have not yet been released, and the first copies should arrive in showrooms in the second half of the year. Unfortunately, the car will not be offered in Europe.

Under the hood will be an upgraded 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine (G16E-GTS) with 300 hp (221 kW) @ 6,500 rpm and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. The same Gazoo Racing engine premiered at GR Yaris. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission with a ‘rev-matching’ function. It is mounted on lightweight reinforced 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

For efficient braking and stopping, there are brakes with 356 mm discs (front) and 297 mm discs (rear).
