Toyota has finally revealed the production version of its new GT86 sports car which shall be on sale in June 2012. This sports car has been conceived with the intention of 'recapturing the joys of motoring' – a sports car which is light weight, low centre of gravity, and a rear-wheel drive layout. Toyota has developed the GT86 sports car in partnership with Subaru, which has its own version of the car called the BRZ. These two cars are separated by styling, but otherwise very similar. Toyota feels that the modest dimensions of the GT86 will make it the most compact four-seater sports car when it goes on sale in June 2012. The GT86 sports car is powered by a 197 bhp, 2.0 litre Boxer engine, which is mounted lower down in the sports car. Peak output for the sports car comes at 7,000rpm, with its 151lb ft maximum torque delivered slightly earlier at 6,600rpm. The prices of the new GT86 sports car should be announced at its official unveiling at the Toyota Motor Show later this week. The sports cars' fuel economy and emissions figures should be released at the same time too. It is expected that the Toyota GT86 sports car price will start at about £28,000.
