The all new Toyota 86 makes its debut at the Sepang International Circuit today, revealing one of the most iconic Japanese RWD cars to have ever been in existence, and if you’re in our generation you’d probably and fondly remember a certain animated black and white drift car nearly grazing barriers as it hurriedly returns home from delivering tofu – Initial D
Thanks to overwhelming requests from both motoring enthusiasts (you guys) and motoring journalists from all over the world, Toyota has finally worked hard with their partners to resurrect a small, light-weight coupe popularly known as the AE86 that was unveiled in 1983.
Undoubtedly been built with the motoring enthusiast in mind, the exterior is nothing but sporty, curvaceous and ultimately attractive; having been infused with the ‘fun to drive’ genes of a front-engine, rear wheel drive layout adopted from Toyota sporting legends like the Toyota 800, 2000GT, and the iconic AE86 which follows the popular convention of a ‘true sports car’ drive train configuration.
Having been allowed to take it out on the track at Sepang for a short stint, we found it to be remarkably neutral in handling with minimal roll as you shift up and down gears smoothly with the paddle -shifters of the automatic transmission. Managing the balance of the car around corners feels great with just a hint of understeer, exploding a tonnage of fun-factor for the driver and allowing you to literally put that car into over-steer, if you get it just right.
Facts:
- Zerotohundred: 6 seconds
- Top Speed: 225 km / h
- Engine: 1998 cc D-4S flat-four boxer engine (FA20)
- Power: 197 bhp / 7000 rpm
- Redline: 7400 rpm
- Torque 205 nm / 6600 rpm
- Weight: 1,230 kg
- Fuel Tank: 50 L
- Fuel: 8L / 100km / 12.5 KM / 1L
- Wheels: 17″
- Tyres: 215/45R17 all round
- Price: RM243,000 Manual / RM249,000 Auto
En. Ismet, President of UMW Toyota Motor, said today “Toyota went the extra mile to engineer the most neutral front-rear weight distribution that ensures stability and predictability in precision handling. This sports car is aimed to provide constant driving pleasure no matter what the road conditions are. The All-New Toyota 86 is a genuine lightweight sports car with advanced design and dynamics aimed at providing drivers with enjoyable and engaging driving experiences”.
The new 86 obviously looses the original 130bhp and 150Nm of torque 1.6L four-cylinder 4A-GE engine and has instead adopted a 197bhp 2.0L D-4S flat-four boxer engine that includes Toyota’s direct injection. (our engine code is FA20)
Your choice of a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission gets mated to the flat-four and has both will come well equipped with Traction Control (TRC) and VSC (Vehicle Stability Control). A VSC Sports function is also available for both variants, which allows the driver to take over by turning off most of the driving aids. Of course, ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) and BA (Brake Assist) comes as standard.
Bookings have already begun for the All–New Toyota 86 on 9th April 2012 and currently, there’s over 30 orders for the All-New Toyota 86 with the hope of selling 140 units over the next six months. We wonder if that’s going to be enough to satiate the demand for the new 86 over here.
If you’re old-school and want a manual transmission to come with your particular Toyota 86, the On-The-Road (OTR) price starts at RM243,000 and stops RM6,000 more at RM249,000 for the automatic variant.
Buyers are also spoilt for choice with six colours to choose from to drape that sexy ‘Hachi-Roku’: Satin White Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, Sterling Silver Metallic, Lightning Red, Galaxy Blue Silica, and Orange Metallic.

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices price very high for a T brand. Anyway, your money your biz.
Toyota must be making a kill from the hype and hoo-haa created so so so long ago.For me, I’ll use the money and buy a 2nd hand Supra. With some spare money to mod it well. Of course, its just me. |

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Nice car but horribly underpowered coz the chassis is so darn fine.
Pity the silly TC and ESP can’t be totally turned off (don’t believe what the media reports says)…. Hope TRC or STi can whip up a powered up version asap. 2.5 litres or better still turbocharged would be a real welcome. |

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices original ae86 was good for its simplicity. its pure and direct. this one is the total opposite. not to say this one is worst then its 36 years old sibling. but i dont really see the resemblance on the both of it. its nearly 300kg heavier for comparison sake. It would make me happier in a way to see them promoting this car as a totally new model, rather then trying to link up to the old model etc etc. In my opinion, it its just riding on the hype of ae86 popularity. However izzit a good car? i hope so. Izzit a car that I want? Yes. Izzit a car that I will pay 250k for one, I don’t think so. With that price, will it be better then my type r till I will trade in for one? No. infact logic will tell alot of us here, with 250k, theres tons of option out there.

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Hmm… 6 secs sounds a bit Godlike for 2.0 L NA. Love this car very much… But the price… Sigh… Just a little bit short of most 2.0 L turbocharged rally cars.

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Yes the price is high for what it is but that’s the score for us here. So what’s the point of moaning and groaning about the price. Work hard to find the cash or migrate la. Civic Type R is more hardcore track machine and is certainly faster but this is a coupe and a RWD one to boot. And you won’t be able to build an 86 replica out of a CKD unit.

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Had a good look at the car today. Quality is crap. For asking price of 240+k it’s a joke. Dash is so low quality, not much better than a Myvi la. Upholstery is so darn cheap. Body panels are like Milo tin. El Cheapo tyres on 17″ rims.Sales people at Toyota dealership in Kota Damansara like tidak apa attitude only. Went to see at Giza Mall and the sales person has not much enthusiasm nor good product knowledge at all about the car.
Does Toyota think that their car is such an amazing handling machine that people will want to buy it at this price? At this level people will compare it with the Megane, Cooper S, Scirocco 2.0, Golf GTi etc that gives you so much more for the price. This car is nothing near a FD2R for sure in terms of value for money. For a mere 20k more can buy a nice E90 325i la which has so much more luxury etc. I find the CRZ to be of better quality than the FT86. I wonder how this car handles, no test drive units. Just buy then know how it handles. Dealers are dreaming of making money off the consumer only. This car is pretty pathetic for 240k. |

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Bottom line if u guys want more power there’s so much other alternatives for the price.
No doubt it’s rare to find a rwd performance car these days but if one likes a playful chassis this car is pretty sweet. Overall it’s a nicely balanced car in terms of handling and chuckability.But when it comes to power… sorry lah.. It’s adquate for a stock car, but when comparing to the likes of cars of similar price like the Civic Type R, Megane RS, Golf GTi… hmm…. I guess the closest rwd that can exceed its straight line performance in the rear world for the price of the FT86 would be an E90 325i Sports or a S2000. |

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices 200bhp = good enough for a car that emphasize on handling
1100kg = light enough low CG design like RX8 = superb FMR + 200bhp + 1100kg = potential become latest best handling car… but need tons of skill to drive fast enough !RM250k ? = file closed… overprice ??!! HELL YEAH !!!! |

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices No Turbo = not worth the Price… spend 240k+ to go side ways, i’d use that money, make it into lose change and go for merry go round for couple of years non-stop…imagine buying that car.. on the highway see some cheapo cars… a fraction of its price.. u get smoked..
Then u wind down d window and tell him – oi! meet me at the corner.. ok? LOL but Seriously

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices haha… for UWM this car may be is not under their sale target mah… if told by Toyota-Japan to sale a xxx units a year, I think they will not consider to bring at all!! BTW this price also about the same in Siamland? also why a FD2R can do RM200k & most of us know/try/run with, it is a performance car, but the FT86/BRZ now is only “good” performance on Paper/TV Ad/Car review. Better wait & see…..but if from UMW view they r here to make $$ not Salvation Army leh…. to buy or not then that is up to we the end user, as some hardcore Toyota’s Fans will sure consider this car. For me is PASS go home play GT5 FOC.

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices Vic, you managed to drive it? EVO UK certainly gave it thumbs down. No power. Plain and simple.Tony, after the GTR 35, even if this car is 50% cheaper with 100% more power, it’d still can’t excite you I imagine 🙂

Re: The TOYOTA 86 is finally here in Malaysia! – Specs and Prices lets hope the government policies might change for the next car. I can’t help but actually laugh at some of the replies by the keyboard warriors here.It’s plain simple. If your main aim is to tailgate everyone on Federal Highway and win traffic-light drag races. This isn’t your car. For the others that drive responsibly and love the occasional fun cornering feeling (actually its more like quite often as this car achieves that “fizzy” sensation even at low speeds) this is the car. The only other new car that comes close to this fun feeling is a BMW 1M which is double the price. You can compare this car to the Golf R, Scirocco, Megane RS 250, BMW 3 series, Mercedes C250, Proton Preve, but none actually comes close to this car once you’ve driven it. Only downside is the useless rear seats, but its actually pretty good for a young family with infant kids (seats fit the toddler chair nicely), otherwise ditch the girlfriend and be a forever alone virgin for a few more years, its worth it.
P.S. those complaining of the lack of power and noise, you do know that this is a Toyota/Subaru, which has endless possibilities of tuning right? |
