What is the Toyota 86?
The Toyota 86 is a compact, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe for drivers who enjoy a direct connection to the road. Toyota developed it with Subaru, and its close relative is the Subaru BRZ. A low-slung body and front-mounted boxer engine give the 86 its distinctive sports-car layout.
The first generation, known as ZN6, ran from 2012 to 2021. The second generation, ZN8, began in 2022. Toyota kept the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive character through the change, while the newer generation brought a larger engine. The 86 belongs to a long line of Toyota sports cars built around driver involvement.
