Rumors: Toyota Readying a Supercharged Version of the GT 86?
Rumors: Toyota Readying a Supercharged Version of the GT 86? - Carscoop
Toyota has repeatedly stressed that the GT 86was developed as a pure, fun and easy to drive rear-wheel drive sports car, ignoring the horsepower race and concentrating instead on honing every detail of the chassis set-up.
In fact, the Japanese carmaker was so determined to stay true to its promise that it even included drift tests in its development program. The production model is said to have an estimated 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).
However, almost everyone who has driven the 86 has found it lacking in oomph and, especially, low- and mid-range torque. In other words, you need to rev it hard to get the best out of it.

Proton P3-21A spied at Karak Highway
Paultan reader Bay MH spied Proton P3-21A at Karak highway. Two car were there and the capturer was chasing them with this Toyota Vios, while there's another black Fiesta chasing the pack too. While we have seen the totally naked yellow car earlier, there's still no leaked photo on the rear yet.
The front of the car revealed nothing new yet compared to the naked yellow car we have seen earlier. The photo can be seen HERE. The previously covered front grille is now unmaked whereby you can clearly see the upper garnish, and the emblem mounted dead centre, flanked by the simple horizontally bar right to the edge of headlamp.
The photo below shows the tyre gap with the wheel arch is not as huge as Saga, but more like the current Persona. However, from some angle, the tall-body configuration does show, and under-tyred perception could still be get with the wrong perspective.
The rear end is of course, still unseen uncovered yet. However, the similar theme to Saga FLX is noted here, with slim, small rear combi housed in the side structure, with additional light part running across the rear fascia of the trunk lid.
I wouldn't be surprise if the inner graphic of the rear combi does not differ too much from the Saga FLX design. After all, the upper amber and bottom white lens arrangement is already similar to Saga FLX.
The brake light will run across the centre span too. We can see here that under braking, the centre part is illuminated too. This and some more photo below does indicate that the centre lighting is very likely to be LED illuminated too. After all, it will look awkward if the lighting is not consistent. There more photos after the jump.
SPIED: Mercedes-Benz's Three-Row 2013 GL-Class SUV Shows More Skin
SPIED: Mercedes-Benz's Three-Row 2013 GL-Class SUV Shows More Skin - Carscoop
Mercedes-Benz seems set to rejuvenate its entire lineup within the next couple of years. Now, one of our wily spies has caught yet another snap of a new Mercedes-Benz model, the second generation of the GL-Class that was snagged testing with reduced camouflage in Europe.
The new Mercedes-Benz ML-Class that forms the base for the longer 2013 GL-Class has already set the tone so don't expect any surprises on the design front.
That said, the three-row crossover model will look a lot like the vehicle it replaces combining a rising beltline and upright profile with the squared nose and other styling details of the newer ML.
Power will come from the same engine range as the 2012 ML including a more potent 240-horsepower V6 diesel and a choice of V8 petrol units, while certain markets will also get Mercedes-Benz's brand new direct-injection 3.5-liter V6 gasoline unit delivering 302-horsepower.
Expect the redesigned GL-class to appear in showrooms sometime next year as a 2013 model.
