据外媒援引丰田欧洲公司老板Karl Schlicht透露的消息称,丰田已经批准投产新一代86/GT86,该车将于2019年发布,其定位低于备受期待的新一代Supra。Schlicht表示,该车将搭载由斯巴鲁开发的水平对置四缸引擎,车辆重心进一步降低。这将使该车的售价进一步降低,同时大幅提升驾驶乐趣。据传,丰田还将推出86敞篷版,但这似乎并非丰田的优先选项。Schlicht表示,我们不会推出现行版的敞篷车,但这并不代表经销商不喜欢这款车,但目前有更多优先选项,我并不认为我们会分散产能生产这款车。
Next-gen Toyota 86 gets green light, due 2019
Toyota has reportedly confirmed it will build a new generation of its sporty 86/GT86 model. Quoting Toyota Europe boss Karl Schlicht, Autocar says the new variant will arrive in 2019 and will be positioned below the much-anticipated Supra successor.
Toyota Europe boss is referring to the flat-four engine of the 86, developed by Subaru and providing low center of gravity for the car. It’s one of the key engineering features of the machine, and makes it deliver great driving thrills for a very low price.
