据日本杂志报道,丰田将推出一款GT86顶级款。最近谍照记者多次在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在进行测试GT86，该杂志称，丰田计划对GT86进行大幅升级，新车不仅功率更强，而且将采用全轮驱动。预计新车将搭载一台由斯巴鲁生产的2.0升四缸涡轮增压引擎，功率224千瓦/300马力，搭配八速自动变速器。该引擎还很可能搭载在2015款WRX STI上，227千瓦/305马力，扭矩393牛米。从几个月前拍摄的谍照看，丰田还计划为新车采用碳纤维轻量化车身，硕大尺寸固定尾翼。GT86总工程师多田哲哉(Tetsuya Tada)已经宣布，GT86升级版将采用新的进排气系统。GT86升级版将于明年上市，但丰田很可能会在年底向公众展示这款车。

 

Toyota believed to launch turbocharged GT86 with all-wheel drive and 300 bhp

Japanese magazine Best Car has obtained some juicy details about a range-topping Toyota GT86 version.

 

We know for a fact Toyota is planning some changes to spice up the GT86 as prototypes have been spotted 'Ring testing a couple of times. A recent report indicates there are some big upgrades planned as the model will allegedly be getting a hotter version replacing the rear-wheel drive setup with an AWD arrangement.

 

In addition, the GT86 is expected to get a four-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine built by Subaru so it's likely the same unit installed in the 2015 WRX STI where it churns 305 bhp (227 kW) and 290 lb-ft (393 Nm) of torque. In the uprated GT86, the engine will develop up to 300 bhp (224 kW) sent to both axles through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

 

Judging by the spy photos we posted several months ago, Toyota is also planning some lightweight body parts made from carbon fiber along with a sizeable fixed rear wing. It should be mentioned the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada already announced the updated GT86 will have new intake and exhaust systems developed in collaboration with Gazoo Racing.

 

The facelifted GT86 will go on sale in 2015 but Toyota could decide to show it before the end of this year.
