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.
