Toyota GT 86 Shooting Brake Concept
In a surprising turn of events, Toyota
has pulled the covers off a Shooting Brake version of the four-year old GT 86
in concept form.
Revealed in Sydney, Australia, by the
Toyota 86 global chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, the study was developed by the
brand's Production Design team in Oz and was hand-built in Japan.
Toyota's latest study that has brought
more practicality to the GT 86 is more than just "show and tell", as
it is a fully functional vehicle that was already put through its paces on some
test tracks. However, despite seeming ready to hit the road as the second body
of the RWD compact coupe, its future remains uncertain.
There are no powertrain details available
on the new 86 Shooting Brake. The coupe is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally
aspirated flat-four shared with the Subaru BRZ, which develops 205 PS and 212 Nm of torque on the 2016 MY, when equipped with a
manual gearbox, while the six-speed automatic remains at 200 PS and 205 Nm.
