Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go). Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.Motoring seems to think the new model will be available later in 2015 or early in 2016, with pricing that should be within reach of current GT 86 owners (around 30,000 Australian dollars, or $28,371).Uncategorized | 2013 scion fr-s, 2013 subaru brz, 2013 toyota gt-86, gt 86 sedan, rumormill, Scion, scion fr-s, Subaru, subaru brz, Toyota, Toyota GT 86, toyota gt 86 sedanReport: More developments with BMW and Toyota’s trajectory on sports car and other projects – egmCartechComments (0) By Roger, September 22, 2013 10:26 amBMW and Toyota have been known to be hard at work together, something that has enthusiasts and journalists very excited for the future. And ever since the two have confirmed their newly found partnership, rumors and speculation have been exploding up the wazoo. So far, there’s strong reason to suspect that a new midsized sports car is on the way, which could usher in a very highly sought after Toyota Supra successor.But not even that, as BMW and Toyota executives have both expressed strong interest in collaborating on more than just a single midsized sports car project. In the latest development from CAR of the UK, word is that BMW and Toyota’s new alliance could spawn as much as a new Z4, 6-Series, and GT86.BMW seeks to have the next Z4 built on a new flexible platform that could also underpin a larger high performance coupe, which could mean the next generation 6-Series. Toyota on the other hand would be given the possibility to produce their much-rumored midsized sports car on the same platform, which could also trigger a GT86 and a MR2 successor to built off
