Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86

[Cdior]

could not agree with you more. was at LK showroom ytd as well. it is true that this car does not give one heavy visual impact, it is way to tall for a sport coupe.... even the SE could not explain clearly on what make this model a seller, just keep on repeating that this is for driving pleasure by not outright performance car.... worst part is, no test drive allowed.......

 

at 120k (without coe), not even a performance brake were provided..... the stock tire is with michelin primacy HP.....

 

one thing does attract attention though, its ultra flat torque curve, from 3k till 6.5k rpm which hovering around the 200nm, probably would make a huge driving sensation, well, nvr tested will not know it..... another nice feature is the frame less door frame, which unlike the previous frameless subaru, the glass window will auto lock-in to the upper roof panel to reduce the flimsiness of the glass panel as well as noise.

 

 

The car no need performance brake cos it light...easier to stop.

They give u Michelin primary tyres becos this car is for drifting , u can't drift with sticky tyres. Lol

wait for parallel import

 

the OMV not high, even if the COE is high, the base cost is actually quite low.

 

i think there is plenty of room for importers to undercut the AD tremendously

[SimonTan]

I also waiting for PI.

Hope there is a price war between Toyota n Subaru and consumers gain in the end.

Is it just me, because I realised that sgcarmart did not update Toyota's new cars' section for the FT86. However, Subaru's BRZ is already on it's new car's section.

Toyota have not launched the 86...

 

I thought it is already with order @ Toyota jp - http://toyota.jp/86/

 

They even include 86 User Manual for owners - http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/pdf/index.html

 

Those who order from PI should come with hardcopy version

 

BTW, PI's JDM model also not speed-limited to 180kph.

yes it is just him.

 

86' GT limited edition is also out.

 

[Wishcumstrue]

Or you may "test drive" an 86' in your office with a iphone app for free...

 

Look for "I am 86" at Appstore

[Didae]

Thanks for the clarification and news updates everyone, cheers!

May I know what are the additional features of the limited edition version? Could it be special colour, etc?

From http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/grade/grade1/index.html

'86 comes in four flavours - GT 'limited', GT, G & RC (no it's not remote-control )

 

The closest versions are the two GT versions.

Side-by-side really cannot tell

 

Only both comes with LED DRL/ F1-style brake light / keyless entry/ start-stop button....

 

IMO, the basic model is the meanness looking RC - driving purity only in 6MT - so those only automatic licemse, you can forget it.

 

Designer also through in some doubt-protection SRS - pls don't use this standard feature.

 

Edit1: only Limited has the H8R colour code.

Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing.

I think Borneo Motors is only bringing in 2 of the above mentioned flavours : High Spec & Standard Spec

Wonder wat's the diff.

 

Probably PI will bring in the other 2 specs.

[SimonTan]

I like the cheapest steel rim specs.

Hopefully it can be reasonably priced.

Keep to upgrade my Jazz.
