“2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition”
A New Model Sport Coupe Emerges
OVERVIEW
The 2013 model year marked the culmination of the joint forces of two Japanese auto manufacturers in the development of a formidable, yet affordable 2+2 sports coupe under the guise of two distinctive marques. The vehicles were the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ, which were nearly identical in terms of basic design and mechanical composition. The cars were designed around the core goal of achieving “Pure balance”, beginning with the strategic utilization of a flat boxer engine in a front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration. The engine’s compact size and flat shape allows it to be mounted in a low, mid-ship position, resulting in a dynamically favorable front-to-rear weight ratio, along with a low center of gravity that is comparable to many exotic supercars. The Scion brand name met its demise several years ago and now simply carries the Toyota moniker. FR-S stood for – Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport). The FR-S drew from a long history of Toyota performance cars and motorsports most inspired by the AE86 generation of the Corolla, best known as the Hachi-Roku, meaning “8-6” in Japanese.
