2017 Toyota FT86 gets HORSEPOWER bump!
 

http://www.automobilemag.com/news/20...gets-new-name/

So Toyota gives the FR-S a new name, a moderate refresh.... And a whopping extra WHOLE.... don't faint guys!!! 5 horsepower!!! And 5lb TORQUE

GO Toyota!:wtf2:

Womp, Womp Womp, whhhhoooomp!!!!

"the engine now makes 205 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque, up from 200 hp and 151 lb-ft"

it got 5hp and 5 tq.

in the end it's still slow and it's still ugly as fuck :bowrofl:

:iagree:

Whoa... Man... Way to corner the market Toyota! :bowrofl:

Why is everyone laughing? It's a perfect car to grab milk, diapers and a 40.

It's up to 156TQ, five more. That'll make you queezy.

I misread, my bad .... 5 lbs more huh... Better buy a neckbrace for my drive!!! LMFAO!!!


Chris Harris is going to be like.... (British accent) if this was a 370zed, 5 horsepower would have no effect. Nissan engineers are a joke. But when you get the skilled engineers of Toyota behind a tune. 5 horsepower, feels like 40. Toyota has built the ultimate sports car and continues to make the 8-6 more outstanding while the rambunctious front heavy zed.... just feels. Blah!

LMFAO!:ughdance:

I don't think it's a bad looking car after the wheels are changed, but the horsepower is an absolute joke. If it had at least ~275hp it would definitely be a contender against the Z market.

That would be ideal but even 240hp would get this thing going way better.

Since the 86 debut, if it came with 220 to the wheels at 3k lbs (tops), we'd all like one one our garage.

:icon18: muta!

Right, but I wouldn't have bought one if it's down 100hp from a Z. If it's down ~50 it would be fine since it's a lighter car.

wat they need to do is put the WRX 2L into these things..

That sounds about right. With dry sump lube so it'll fit right.

anything to get that car into the sub 6sec 0-60 minimum

no such thing as a slow sports car imho..

I like it. I see it as a useful and sporting appliance vs an appliance such as Fit. I tested one last year. I enjoyed it.

actually the 5MT '12 fit i had was about as fast as a brz on a cold day. :ugh:

Speed ok but what about handling. 200hp can get you thrown in jail. Clearly its not a Vin Diesel 1/4 mile at a time vehicle. Why so many want or think it should be. I had a blast with the test model I had here. I liked the seats/interior, everything overall.

i had swifts on there, not too bad, top heavy. sports car handling was not its forte'.. true

i wouldnt mind having a brz though if something happened to my G. it ll be like my mini-Z. 200hp is plenty for the commute.

205hp might be too much... ;)

I want a 10 second car not a 10 minute car

The frs is not very peppy over 90mph. Not sure about getting thrown in jail with a frs.

Silly Toyota; I could have gotten those power and torque bumps from stickers ...

Toyota chief 86 product planner: "What do you think we should do with the grill?"

Designer: "Hey look at this picture of my kid!"

Toyota would say:

"Now this is a small step for the others, but a giant leap for FR-S."

:cool:

While I think 5 HP is a true joke, I think is a HUGE Joke! This car must have 260 HP or more. Also why they didn't put a TRD exhaust and Intake? That would jump it to at least 206! LOL!!!!!!!!

Anyone could get thrown in jail driving any car fast. How quickly you go from 0-reckless op isn't the case. It is that you can. And a 3cyl Geo Metro is about the only car that will protest any speed above 40.

That said, the frs is still a dog and it'll still take 10 minutes to wander into reckless op territory. ooooo!!! 5hp. I shakin in mah boots.

Be fair.... TRD exhaust = 3hp. Lol:icon18:

I get you....

But when enthusiasts use the phrase "you can get thrown in jail driving one of those"

The understanding are CARS that are REALLY responsive and comfortable OVER a 100m.p.h. Feel me? So the FR-S is NOT that car...

I totally get you and completely agree.
