Toyota GT-86 14R-60 Limited Edition is a production continuation of the Griffon concept which was revealed last year. In fact, it is a super lightweight GT-86 which won’t be seen elsewhere but Japan. Just like the Griffon, this limited edition Toyota is driven by 2.0-liter boxer poweplant. There are no enhancements in its power, meaning that it generates 197 horsepower (145 kW) and 205 Nm (151 pound-feet) of maximum torque.
Nevertheless, the engine was touched slightly and now has new air filte

Pure, unadulterated fun is the idea behind the Kia GT4 Stinger Concept which has now gone public in Detroit at the North American Auto Show. An engine at the front, rear-wheel drive, 2+2 seating and an acceptable price. Could eventually Kia be taking on the BRZ and the GT 86? Let's hope so.

Just that extra bit of something to spice things up.
How about a tune up then? Let's see. Oh, Romeo Ferraris here might have what

Theophiluschin published some renderings of Toyota GT 86 Sedan. The four-door version is allegedly close to production series. The four-door GT 86 will have a 100 mm extended wheelbase and could be exhibited at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
We expect the same 2.0-liter boxer engine with 200HP (147 kW) and 205Nm (151 lb-ft) with fuel economy of 7.8 litres / 100km for manual models – and even better for automatic versions at just 7.1 litres / 100km.
Probably, there will be an optional hybr
