Toyota 86 Dyno Run Video Released

The adjacent video brings an answer to a question many automotive enthusiasts asked: just how powerful is the Toyota 86 (GT-86 in Japan)/Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z?
The famous HKS tuner has recently strapped the rear-wheel-drive coupe t a dyno, with the result being 170 rear-wheel hp. If we consider a 15 percent driveline loss, this matches Toyota’s official 200 crank hp rating.However, this is just half the story, as the clip also brings a drift car based on the 86, which was built by HKS. Behind the “play” button, you can see the vehicle punishing its rear tires and loving it.

What can we say? We’re waiting for HKS to release a turbo kit that would help the car tear up the dyno.
