丰田和斯巴鲁正在为下一代86运动车共同开发动力更强引擎。据《日本时报》报道,该车将于2021年左右上市,新车将搭载的引擎从以前的2.0升提升至2.4升,动力更强劲。提升引擎排气量表明,虽然车迷持续施压,但车厂仍“固执”的坚持为这辆轿跑车使用自然进气而非涡轮增压引擎。新引擎将进一步降低车辆重心,从而提升86车型本已非常出众的操控性。而斯巴鲁版本将配备车厂最新的安全和辅助驾驶技术,让驾驶员能从自动紧急制动和其他技术升级中获益。不过,随着开发工作的继续,未来几年,新车规格和细节还将有进一步的改变。
Next-gen Toyota 86 on track for 2021 with more power
Toyota and Subaru have reportedly settled on a more powerful engine for the next-generation 86 sports car.
Due to hit the market sometime around 2021, the revamped 86 is expected to jump from a 2.0-liter engine to a 2.4-liter mill with a bit more oomph, according to The Japan Times.
Increasing engine displacement suggests the company is remaining stubborn in its stand against turbocharging for the coupe, despite persistent pressure from enthusiasts.
The new engine is expected to contribute to a lower center of gravity, further improving the 86's reputation for great handling.
Subaru's variant is said to be equipped with the company's latest safety and assistance technologies, allowing drivers to benefit from automatic emergency braking and other tech enhancements.
Specific details could change in the next few years as development moves forward.
