The 86 is a series of sports cars jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru and solely manufactured by the latter. It features a boxer engine, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and 2+2 seating. It is sold worldwide under three different brands with respective model names: * Toyota 86 in Asia, South Africa, South America and Australia; GT86 in Europe; both of the preceding names in New Zealand; FT86 in Nicaragua and Jamaica; * Subaru BRZ worldwide; * Scion FR-S in the US and Canada. ==Name and heritage== The development code of this vehicle is ''086A'' and its main production names 86 (pronounced "eight-six" or Hachi-Roku (ハチロク) in Japanese, but more commonly pronounced as "eighty-six") or GT86, leverage historic Toyota front engined and rear-wheel drive sports coupés and hatchbacks, in the form of: * the 1967 2000GT (Japan's seminal coupé whose design cues adorn the 86 and which was also powered by a 2.0 litre engine); and * the 1983 to 1987 AE86 range (renowned for its handling and drifting abilities). The project also leverages Toyota's first sports car, the Sports 800, for its shared boxer engine layout.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=frs-scion.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toyota 86」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
