The Toyota GT86 is a fun, affordable sports car, but we're not alone in wondering if it could do with a little more than the standard 200hp. Well, here's one with a lot more - Gazoo Racing's Sports FR Concept with 320hp.

To use both a supecharger and turbo requires extensive internal engine mods, i.e. con rods, pistons, crank bearings, not to mention changes to the internal oil galleries to ensure the pistons receive jets of oil underneath them to cool them down. You will also have to change the cams and valve gear and then you are talking about adding intercoolers, a larger radiator, water pump, oil pump and oil cooler, additional injectors for the extra fueling. The ignition system will be to be replaced with a more appropriate system which includes knock sensors to **** it when the boost puts the engine into pre-ignition and you will need different pulleys to drive the supercharger and a clutch system to disengage it at high revs, etc, etc, etc....so when you consider the cost of this conversion and its complexity, it would be a lot easier and more cost effective to simply transplant the latest 2.5 Litre Subaru Impreza engine into it and get a much more torquier engine and over 320 hp.

The only way to get rid of all these w*nkers and loser who keep clogging up the comments with stupid dating website and other rubbish is to report them to the moderators. Dont hit the spam button, it does not good, hit the report button and then the last option which is to the moderators and then click the spam button and explain that they are serial spammers. Then MSN will remove them. It is absolutely ridiculous that every comments page is now saturated with this rubbish.

looks horrible, it looks American. Not the japanese shape and style we all used to love. Then again, Honda is terrible now in the UK; No type R models in europe.
Gone are the days of the FD and FC3S RX-7's, the DC2 and DC5 Integras', EK9 Jordan and type R, Celica, Supra, R32 Skyline, Evo 2-6GSR. Japanese performance cars suck nowdays if they even exist.

its good to see that toyota is comming back in the sports car scene....after the prius i thought we wouldn't see another miricle like the supra......however the fact still remians that the time toyota has taken off the sell hybrids has ment that nissan with their skylines, mitsubishi with thier evos and subaru with their imprezas have left the company at the back off the line..... hopefully toyota will keep at it so we can see it glorify with another model again!....but its not going to if it carrys using the lexus lfa as a base for its sports cars.

These "in-house" tuner-cars are ALWAYS very high-priced - the whole point of the GT 86 was for a new generation of younger drivers to get used to a car where BALANCE meant more than POWWWWERRRRR!! - and STILL, I think they failed - the car weighs 1250Kg, apparently, and has ABS - a good Drivers' car should be under 1,000Kg, with NO ABS, so that the driver can FEEL the brakes working.
I just CAN'T for the life of me see the ruddy point of super-stressing a 2-litre four-pot engine, when you could have taken out the 4-cylinder engine and fitted a light, all-alloy V6, such as the 3.2 24Valve beauty that Alfa-Romeo have been making since the 164 - the complaints about the GT 86 are a lack of low-down torque and that it has to be kept near the red-line.
Also, look at that ton of junk, i.e. the ENGINE, living IN-FRONT of the front suspension turrets - APPALLING weight-distribution, Much? My 1991 Alfa-Romeo 75 Twin-Spark has SOOO-much less weight in front of the pick-up points, and that is why they are used at a Nurburgring racing-school.
