neo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoe ... eaked.html not bad looking at all (although it does have a kit on it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 You can check this car out on the Toyota website. I registered my interest a while back I absolutely love how it looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ultra Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 While it looks great, it also looks like it should have way more than the 200bhp stated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It looks beautiful but I'm not sure if it would be a step down from the Zed in terms of performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It looks beautiful but I'm not sure if it would be a step down from the Zed in terms of performance? depends on how heavy it is in comparison to the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manphibian Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It looks beautiful but I'm not sure if it would be a step down from the Zed in terms of performance? depends on how heavy it is in comparison to the zed. 1280Kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It looks like a 370z with a chav kit on it to me....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It looks beautiful but I'm not sure if it would be a step down from the Zed in terms of performance? depends on how heavy it is in comparison to the zed. 1280Kg nearly 400kg lighter than the zed zed = 173 bhp per ton FT86 = 154 bhp and i'm guessing if its using the boxer engine then its going to be turbo'd which means getting it up to 300 bhp is going to be a piece of pi$$ and cost very little in comparison to getting the same kind of gain out of the zed. probably looking at £500-£600 to get 50-60 bhp out of the ft86. double that and a bit more to get it an extra 100 bhp over stock. its basically an impreza engine, so what ever you can do to tune the nuts off one of those then you can do the same to this toyota.

rtbiscuit Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 No turbo. 2L NA. http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/Fir ... ve/259779/ lets hope scoobies version of it will have a turbo version. my guess is there will be other models released with power upgrades. i would expect subaru to do a turbo'd version at some point or even a 4wd version maybe.

Southernspeed Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Looks like a love child from a Porsche and R35! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've seen worse, but unless they're going to put some decent tyres on it then it's never going to have the performance it should have. I'll be interested to drive it, and I'm glad it's so relatively light, but I can't see it setting the world on fire. The Subaru version on the other hand should be a much more appropriate car, and I don't even really like turbocharged engines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think if you're honest with yourself, those looks in a lightweight car with rear seats & 200 ponies for £20k list price is pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 think i need to see this in the real, I'm not convinced yet, looks like a Hyundai rip off off the 370z and Rx8 mixed together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If the Subaru STI version which is rumoured has 300 bhp then it's be an absolute winner. I like the looks however it has the potential to look weedy depending on it's physical size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think if you're honest with yourself, those looks in a lightweight car with rear seats & 200 ponies for £20k list price is pretty awesome. No way will it be £20K over here. If it is I'll post a photo of myself in a mankini. I reckon £25K for the base version and £28K for the posh one.

ATTAK Z Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's rumoured that the BRZ will be rear wheel drive .... will this be the first non 4WD Subaru ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoralGT Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Front looks like scirocco a bit especially the headlights... Looks great anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Looks good, but somehow not as modern as I thought it was gonna be In terms of performance I think the 200 ood bhp mark is fine, its meant as a cheapish, lightweight sports car again. Add more power...add more ££ lol Although they talk about the corolla , good replacement for the Celica. My m8s got a T-Sport, lightweight,f ast and cheap! They don't make em liek that anymore...all big fat TTs etc... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's rumoured that the BRZ will be rear wheel drive .... will this be the first non 4WD Subaru ? There have been fwd impreza's before, but not a model where the only option was to have rwd as far as I'm aware. I think this should fit in the Toyota and Subaru range nicely as a sporty coupe is something they are both missing. I also love the unique sound of the subaru boxer engine, it's the car I was wanting when I bought the zed really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
