2025 Toyota GR 86 Revealed - Is This the End of the Subaru BRZ?

2025 Toyota GR 86 Revealed - Is This the End of the Subaru BRZ?
Are you a fan of the Toyota GR 86 sports coupe? If so, you're in for an exciting update! Rumors are swirling about a potential third generation of this popular car, which might hit the market as early as 2025. Intrigued? Let's dive into the details!
Just three years after the second generation was introduced, speculation suggests a major overhaul for the GR 86. The buzz is all about a new powertrain - a three-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a hybrid system. This would be a significant shift from the current model.
Reports about this development have been circulating for over a year. Initially, there were two main narratives: one predicting a 2028 release with a 1.4-liter turbocharged hybrid engine, and another suggesting a 2025 debut with a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain. The latter seems more likely now, with recent updates indicating it will feature an engine similar to the one in the GR Yaris and GR Corolla, boasting over 300 horsepower. It’s also expected to include hybrid technology akin to that in the Land Cruiser 250 and the upcoming Lexus GX, maintaining a front-engine/rear-wheel-drive layout, and offering both manual and automatic transmission options.
However, this information comes from BestCar in Japan, which doesn’t cite specific sources, so it's wise to take it with a grain of salt. Despite the uncertainty, the persistence of these rumors makes them hard to ignore, especially considering the impressive performance of the rumored engine.
Developing a low-volume sports car is a challenging and often unprofitable endeavor for most automakers. This is why Toyota and Subaru originally collaborated on the GR 86 and its counterpart, the Subaru BRZ. If Toyota decides to use its own engine for the next-generation GR 86, it could mean the end of this partnership. This raises questions about the future of the BRZ. Will Subaru continue developing it independently? While unlikely, it's not entirely out of the question.
Stay tuned as we keep an eye on these exciting developments. Whether you're a fan of the GR 86 or just love sports cars, the next few years could bring some thrilling changes!

Your knowledge is so, so looooow... Toyota Subaru "partnership" will NOT end. You should know that Toyota partially owes Subaru... Next, your assumption comes from Toyota's GR86 with 3cyl 1.6 L engine tests... In a few words, all you say is BS... and your ONLY intention is to make money D - - -
