Do you literally shit out of your mouth? Nobody, and I do mean NOBODY, thinks you're going to buy a Panamera, a GT3, a GTR and then "ooh get excited about the toyota 86 and order the first one!" ... You're fucking retarded stop posting.
FYI, I already have a Panamera and GT3RS, I'm just upgrading them
I'll probably just drive the 86 for a month and sell it.
Toyota is already hard at work evaluating a high performance version of the new Toyota GT 86 sporting coupe. Chief engineer Tetsuo Tada says that not only is a supercharged GT 86 envisaged, test cars have already been made and are being evaluated by Toyota Racing Developments, the Japanese giant’s in house tuning division.
Tada-san favours the supercharger approach because it is simpler to achieve than increasing engine size and doesn’t wreck throttle response as turbocharging might. Indeed Toyota says that turbocharging along with four-wheel drive and wide tyres are what make sports cars boring to drive.
Supercharging is also a key competence for TRD which has been offering this kind of forced induction as an aftermarket kit for Toyotas since 1998. He would not be drawn on what kind of power a supercharged GT 86 might develop but Toyota is known to consider the car’s chassis could easily handle an additional 50bhp to go with the 197bhp already generated by its Subaru 2-litre flat four motor, a view with which, having driven the car, we wholly concur. However he says the TRD is also looking at ways of modifying the suspension to cope with the extra power, raising the possibility of a still more substantial power hike.
TRD’s most popular supercharger conversion is applied to the American market Tacoma pick up, boosting its 4-litre V6 engine from 233bhp to 301bhp suggesting that a 280bhp GT 86 with, critically, a massive boost in the low down torque the car currently lacks would be easily achieved. Even in the unlikely event that all the modifications added 100kg to the weight of the car, its power to weight ratio would still at least equal that of the 326bhp Nissan 370Z, a car capable of hitting 62mph from rest in 5.3sec and recording a top speed of 155mph. The standard GT 86 needs around 6.8sec and does 143mph. It is not yet known whether, if approved, the supercharged GT 86 would be offered as an aftermarket pack or as a model in its own right.
Tada also confirmed that it was so important to his team that even the standard GT 86 drifted properly that special tests were incorporated into the car’s development programme specifically for this purpose, ‘the first time this has ever been done on any Toyota.
The package is rumored to be in the 5 digit price. Probably an overpriced rebadge unit or something else. It's good news, showing that this car can at least be tuned to make more power. They never had anything like that for the Celica.
While it's exciting it's a bit amateurish, but that's also part of its marketing language it should be something you don't look up to but something you will own even if you have the mentality of a 10 year old.

was browsing the scion pics...TCS and sport/snow mode on a < $30k car?
VSC-like system mandatory on all cars sold in USA since 2010. And usually TCS just comes as a bonus because it's largely the same system with different algorithms. My 2010 Cube has VSC and TCS...on what's essentially a 18k USD car.
here is a picture of the fully option-ed out version doing its deed in the hands of the talented drivers of EVO UK
It's like a new Supra actually. I like that.

good to know...does that apply to all Canadian spec cars too?
yes I have heard of one but umm that not what a bypass valve does there Sherlock
a clutch pulley will play's the roll of turning off supercharger so no parasitic drain is had on the motor by turning the rotors
if you have not notice if you look at the new Chevy cobalt ss they ditch the stupid super charger because it is bad idea
turbo technology is so far advanced right now it stupid to super charge in less you need low end torque asap like a truck would or Detroit diesel to powers it turbos.
but thanks for coming out

don't care turbos are free power and better on the environment, roots chargers are not
the only good belt driven charger that is good is the rotrex but i highly dought it will find it's way on to a toyota
shutting it off fully is the best way no if and or butts
toyota did this on the 4agze an old trick to save fuel was to run toggle switch in the cabin to fully turn the super charger off to save fuel then just drive around with no bost what so ever
plus it's going to suck when your buddie in a braz flash's his ecu and chnages some small things cheeply to up the boost higher and then walk's all over you
were as super charger can have pullie installed and a re flash and net small gain's
so all in all toyota get's a nice butt cheek clap from me

Actually, centrifugal superchargers are the worst ones out there...
/face fucking palm.
Turbo's are not free power...piston has to work harder to push the exhaust gasses out as there is back pressure in the system (turbocharger.) AKA, pumping loss.
Or you can mess with the bypass valve to increase boost... They're adjustable.
