Toyota 86 facelift

Given the 86 has always offered 147kW, expect next year's revised version to deliver up to 155kW
"Engineers have focused on
friction reduction engineering and a more efficient intake manifold
design that will boost power and torque by around five per cent, while
improving fuel efficiency by up to seven per cent."



 
The wider and vented front and rear fenders, along with the new side skirts and 18-inch alloy wheels shod in tires size 245/40 up front and 265/35 at the back, round out the exterior upgrades.
Inside, the cabin was fitted with a full roll cage, bucket seats with four-point seat belts, a new race-spec steering wheel and numerous other appointments.
For the performance upgrades, Gazoo Racing made use of all the components it developed for GRMN Sports FR Concept shown at last year's Goodwood Festival starting with the addition of a twin-charger system combining a supercharger and a turbocharger for the boxer engine. Along with other improvements, output is lifted to 325hp (330PS) and peak torque to 431Nm (318 lb-ft).
A 6-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels through a mechanical limited slip differential, with Gazoo Racing also making changes to the suspension and brakes.
Whether or not the Toyota tuner will offer the car in production guise, remains to be seen.

Agreed, a case of series2 not evolving well looks wise.

All look a bit same same to me. SW's ftw.

None of this is news. Different renders with a sports concept along with a limited edition run they did for Japan, to appeal to women making the car more feminine. Not that the 86 already looks like a female version to the BRZ male counterpart.
 
I call BS on pumped rears running 265's. The current chassis can take 10's easily, not that it even needs them unless it goes forced induction. So many morons run 9.5" all around and ruin the handling. My 7.5's fill out the front okay but the rears just need less offset. For grip the stock 215's are fine once you get a better compound (not the primacy's they run stock on).
