1 Answers
The Toyota 86 is powered by a horizontally opposed engine, specifically the Subaru FA20 engine. The Toyota 86 is a two-door, four-seater model under the Toyota brand, with dimensions of 4240mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1320mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. More details are as follows: 1. The Toyota 86 is equipped with a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, coded FA20, with a maximum power output of 147kW and a maximum torque of 205Nm. The engine reaches its peak torque at 6400 to 6600 rpm and its maximum power at 7000 rpm. 2. This engine features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, significantly reducing the engine's weight to enhance handling. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. The Toyota 86 uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link setup improves wheel contact with the road, enhancing grip and consequently the car's handling. 4. The Toyota 86 and the Subaru BRZ are sister models, sharing nearly identical exteriors but with some differences in chassis and tuning. Both models share the same powertrain, with engines developed by Subaru.
