2022 Toyota GR 86 Launch Date Apparently Leaked, 255-HP Turbo Engine Rumored

Remember when we talked about the 86 Gen 2, about that it’s coming in July 2021 according to information that was leaked from an internal presentation? Well, it appears that a photograph of the internal presentation has been uploaded on the Internet!

Posted by All Car News on Instagram, the pic boils down to a slide that bears the title of “Next Gen Launch Timeline.” The Sienna – labeled as “All Hybrid” - and an all-new, all-hybrid crossover are coming in the fall of 2020. The 86 should follow suit in the summer of 2021 while the all-new CUV, Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner are planned to launch in the third quarter of 2021, fourth quarter of 2021, and God knows when in 2022.

Interestingly enough, the slide doesn’t list the 86 as the GR 86 we’ve heard so much in the past few months. Toyota is expected to rename the 86 and GT 86 to GR 86 to better reflect the Gazoo Racing division’s involvement, a trend that has started with the GR Supra that almost everybody loves to hate because it’s a BMW Z4 in disguise.

“A new platform” and “a 255-horsepower turbocharged engine” are mentioned in the description of the Instagram post, which is somewhat curious indeed. 255 ponies are a match to the output of the GR Supra with the BMW-sourced turbo four-cylinder engine, not the 2.4-liter boxer turbo engine that Subaru utilizes in the Ascent.

The FA24 as Subaru refers to it develops 260 horsepower (264 PS) on 87-octane unleaded gasoline as well as 277 pound-feet of torque (376 Nm). Whatever the future holds for the GR 86 and BRZ, there’s no denying that Toyota and Subaru will be treated to plenty of criticism if they convert from a boxer to an inline engine design.

The outgoing models – as well as the Scion FR-S from 2012 to 2016 – feature the FA20 engine that Toyota refers to as the 4U-GSE. For the 2017 model year, this engine was upgraded to 208 PS (205 horsepower) and 212 Nm of torque (156 pound-feet) and the final drive was modified from 4.1 to 4.3.

The Future: Toyota + Lexus ïõ _____________________________________ [3/23/20] A MASSIVE leak has just unveiled a plethora of plans for Toyota and Lexus over the next few years so let’s dive right in! First up is the all new BRZ and GR86 (yep no more GT86) which will be on a new platform with a 255HP Turbocharged engine, better interior and of course RWD coming in July of 2021. Then a Camry refresh in 2021 with a new generation in 2024 and a Avalon refresh in 2022. Then a new 2021 Corolla Crossover and the Venza is coming back. ýýýýýýýýýýýý ýýýýýýýýýýýý ýýýýýýýýýýýý ýýýýýýýýý Á @Allcarnews Industry Update Á ýýýýýýýýýýýý ýýýýýýýýýýýý ýýýýýýýýýýý Then comes the all new 4Runner and Sequoia coming in 2022 based on the all new 2021 Tundra that will ride on the all new TNGA-F chassis. These will get a TwinTurbo Hybrid V6 and NO MORE V8. Then a new 2024 Tacoma. Lexus is killing off V8 models under the $90k price point and an all new TwinTurbo V8 will debut in the 2022 LC-F. The LS and ES are getting a 2022 refresh and the GS if being killed off and replaced with a Lexus version of the new RWD Toyota Mirai sedan. The all new IS is coming for 2021. An all new NX is coming on the new TNGA-K platform with a new 14in Touchscreen and 5 different powertrains. An all new RX is coming in 2023 and the GX is being replaced in 2023 with a new model. The LX is going to be insane with a TT V6 hybrid in 2022 and will compete with the Bentayga with a TT V8Land. The Landcruiser on the other hand will be turned into a stripped out off roader and lose any sort of luxury focus in favor of hardcore off roading. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: The best part is all of this is real as it was leaked from a recent dealer conference!!  ________________________________________ Text by @allcarnews #Toyota #GR #JDM #GazooRacing #GRYaris #RallyRacing ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #supercharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #carlifestyle #MadWhips #CupGang #Carstagram #BlackList #AmazingCars247 An #allcarnews post
