Hachi-Yon-Touring

Remember me hoping that Toyota would make a wagon 86? Well, i couldn't wait, so i photoshopped one out using the sedan 86 as a base template and using styling cues from the Impreza wagon to fuse this together. Like?

Hachi-Yon

With rumors of an 86 Sedan almost reach production-ready status, digital artist Theophilus Chin shows us how it could possibly look like. We couldn't resist lowering it and slapping on some BBS LMs of course.

Allegedly, the car will be offered as standard with the coupe's 2.0-liter boxer engine and an optional hybrid arrangement derived from the Yaris Hybrid-R concept is also in the cards with up to 268 bhp (200 kW) and fitted with a KERS system similar to F1 cars.

Now make us a wagon!

Toyota Hachiroku vs 370Z vs Cayman S

We know the new Hachiroku is really good, but Chris Harris goes one up and puts the car against the 370Z and the Porsche Cayman S. Awesome video.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 - Toyota Hachiroku!

With the prices for the 86 finally revealed, (Just below 2million Yens for the base "Tuner Spec") i think it's probably the right time to do my Tokyo Auto Salon Hachiroku report. The Toyota 86 was the biggest draw for me (and many others i'm sure) at the event. The moment we saw the Toyota booth, that was the direction i headed. Flashback 2 years ago, i was one of those lucky ones who came face to face with the Gazoo Racing FT86 at the 2010 Auto Salon.

It was an awesome sight back then seeing the concept, and finally seeing the production car (albeit with some "enchancements") after following it's progression from internet rumours and initial sketches, was pretty awesome to say the least.

When we got there, they popped the bonnet for us to take a peak inside.

Toyota brought out 2 "tuned" Hachis, one with TRD parts and the other, enhanced with Modellista parts.

The TRD in my opinion, the better looker.

We had the priviledge of peeping into the cabin on press day as well, and if you really wanted, you could ask nicely and plonk your bum into the driver's seat.

Details details...

On the walls are all them "go-faster" and "look-faster" parts from Toyota.

Elsewhere in the halls, Falken and Dunlop tyres shared a Hachiroku together with each company's liveries showcased on either side.

They even had an artist put some paints on the board.

Outside, HKS showcasing their return to D1 with the new Hachi.

The car's probably still pretty stock at the moment but we think it won't be staying that way for long.

Toyota Hachiroku: Of tuners and photoshops

With all the excitement surrounding the unveiling of the new Toyobarus, it didn't take too long for the photoshop to start flowing onto the internets. Even without the magic of photoshop, Toyota's TRD has already started to tinker with the Hachi, showing off two Sports Track Competition Package models at the recent 2011 Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival.

Dubbed N0 and N1. No information on what has been changed though but externaly, wheels, wing mirrors, GT-wings, and what might seemingly be a slight drop in ride height. Photographs of the TRD's from Jon Sibal's blog.
