Toyota new “GR 86” engine
The engine installed in the “GR 86” is a new naturally aspirated 2.4L horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine + port fuel injection system (TOYOTA D-4S). Power performance has been improved by increasing the displacement from 2L to 2.4L. Maximum output is 173kW (235ps) at 7,000rpm, maximum torque is 250Nm (25.5kgm) at 3,700rpm, and standard 6-speed MT or 6-speed AT is available. Torque has been increased by 15% compared to the previous model. Acceleration performance from 0 to 100 km/h has been increased from 7.4 seconds to 6.3 seconds. The response has been improved and a feeling that extends to the high rotation range without stress has been realized. For cars equipped with AT, the control of SPORT mode has evolved. When the system determines that the car is driving in a sporty manner, it automatically performs the optimal shift operation according to the driver’s intentions and operations, enabling more direct cornering.
