The Toyota 86 is a sports car developed jointly by Japanese automobile manufacturers Toyota and Subaru. It has 2+2 seats, a 2-door coupé body style and a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.

The model will be sold under three different brands: Toyota (Toyota 86 in Japan and Australia and Toyota GT-86 in Europe), Subaru (Subaru BRZ) and Scion (Scion FR-S). "86" (pronounced "eight-six" or Hachi-Roku refers to the Toyota AE86, a car sold in the 1980s. As such, the Toyota 86 has been named as the spiritual successor of the original AE86 during the press release of the 86. The Toyota and Scion have little distinguishing elements - the latter has cheaper pieces to reduce base price in the United States. The Subaru BRZ differs mainly in its front end, where the grille has an hexagonal shape versus an inverted trapezoid in the Toyota and Scion, along with the placement of the BRZ as the most luxurious variant of the platform, with more standard features and a higher suggested price than the Toyota-marketed versions.

It was first presented as a concept car at the October 2009 Tokyo Motor Show under the name Toyota FT-86, FT being shorthand for "Future Toyota". Later, a high-performance version was launched at the January 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon as the Toyota FT-86 G Sports. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, a third concept car was shown, the Toyota FT-86 II. The BRZ and FR-S also had their concept cars, the Subaru BRZ Concept STI and the Scion FR-S Concept. The production version of the 86, BRZ and FR-S were unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show.

Initially, the 86 and sister models will feature a Subaru-sourced naturally aspirated 2.0 L flat-4 boxer gasoline engine (Toyota engine code 4U-GSE, Subaru engine code FA20) that will deliver 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) that includes a direct injection system from Toyota. The model will be offered with two six-speed transmissions: a manual and an automatic with paddle shifters. The weight of the 86 is 1,180 to 1,250 kilograms (2,600 to 2,760 lb) depending on specification and equipment. 

On 16th of March 2012 an line-off ceremony was held at Subaru’s Gunma Main Plant (Ota-city, Gunma Prefecture, Japan) with Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) President Akio Toyoda and honored guests in attendance, in commemoration of the production start of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86. FHI and TMC first agreed on business collaboration in October 2005. After the companies expanded their cooperative ties with new agreements related to development and production in April 2008, they then began four years of development. The completion of this joint-development product also marks a great achievement of the alliance between FHI and TMC.  During the first month since February 2nd 2012 Toyota received 7,000 pre-orders on Toyota 86 model in Japan. First Toyota 86 sales are scheduled to begin on April 6th.

Distinct appearance: you can detect the racing genes of the 1 Series M Coupé with your eyes alone. Powerful exterior design, fully dedicated to high-performance on the ideal line. And with an interior to bring you the experience of a motor sports atmosphere every day.

From the mighty air inlets on the low front apron, via the strongly contoured side sections with their powerfully flared wing extensions, M wing mirrors and the typical M side air vents, through to the spoiler lip and respect-commanding twin tailpipes on either side: the BMW 1 Series M Coupé demonstrates dynamic presence – from every angle. 

The charisma of a high-performance automobile also determines the atmosphere of the interior. Exclusivity that you can see and feel everywhere. In the M entry sills and the M footrest, on first contact with the M Sport seats and in the stylish black leather upholstery with its sporty contrasting stitching. On first catching sight of the typical M styling of the instrument panel or on first reaching earnestly for the M gear knob.

Shaped by the absolute desire for maximum performance: the athletic appearance of the BMW 1 Series Coupé. The distinctive front and rear aprons, M wing mirrors and the spoiler lip speak the unmistakeable language of perfection in design and a maximum in aerodynamic optimisation.

With its mighty air inlets in typical M design, the front apron of the BMW 1 Series Coupé guarantees the supply of cooling air for the M TwinPower Turbo engine. Two additional vertical air inlets in the outer part of the front apron, known as air curtains, improve the airflow around the wheel housing by significantly reducing turbulence. Even the M wing mirrors above the characteristic side air vents with integrated blinker and M badging not only look good, they offer the best possible view to the rear while presenting minimum drag. Also born in the wind tunnel: the spoiler lip – an additional cut-off that reduces lift at high speeds.

You see and sense it straight away: strength comes from breadth. Whether on a straight at full acceleration or cornering with sporting ambitions– the broad track width of the BMW 1 Series M Coupé combines high-precision stability with maximum agility and razor-sharp steering characteristics.

A 1,541-millimetre track width on both axles – this gives the BMW 1 Series M Coupé a plus of 60 mm at the front and 40 mm at the rear compared with a BMW 135i. The new high-performance chassis, a low centre of gravity and the optimum axle load distribution of almost 50:50 result in a highly dynamic driving experience.

Typically M: the respect-commanding visual impression of the broad track is further underlined by the 19-inch light-alloy wheels in their M-specific Y-spoke design including mixed tyres. 

Dimensions and design of the standard 19-inch light-alloy wheels in the M-specific Y-spoke styling spell out the distinctive sporting character. The BMW 1 Series M Coupé – top athlete that appears in three exterior paint finishes: Valencia Orange, Black Sapphire and Alpine White.

Outstanding performance figures make the BMW 1 Series Coupé into a genuinely exceptional phenomenon. One distinct identifying feature: the impressive M light-alloy wheels in M-specific Y-spoke styling with 19-inch mixed tyres. Front: 9J x 19 with 245/35 ZR 19 tyres. Rear: 10J x 19 with 265/35 ZR 19 tyres. In-between: 100% sheer driving pleasure.

Drivers of an M car are already familiar with this sight: even before the engine starts up, the red needles of the speedometer and rev counter together with the white instrument lighting indicate what awaits you: pure M driving dynamics – systematically designed on journeys beyond the commonplace.

The M badging in the rev counter stands for sheer driving pleasure – right up to the limit. To make sure you can enjoy this sight to the full even in adverse lighting conditions, the classic twin circular instrument gauges are protected from interfering sunlight by an Alcantara covered hood. The orange contrasting stitching of the hood, which is continued on the Alcantara and leather surfaces throughout the interior, sets exclusive sporting accents in the BMW 1 Series Coupé.

More grip on the wheel: the M leather steering wheel always lies snugly in your hands. Luxurious leather and the thickness of the rim display their talents particularly when sporting manoeuvres are involved and wherever the route places high demands on the driver.

The ideal radius of action for spirited driving has a diameter of 368 millimetres, contrasting stitching in M colours, a highly contoured rim and ergonomic thumbrests. In combination with the speed-dependent steering force support of Servotronic, the BMW 1 Series M Coupé offers steering precision that makes you long for every corner.

Full control that extends beyond the direction of travel: the M button to activate M Drive and the remaining buttons on the M leather steering wheel to operate the audio system or telephone. Making sure you can always concentrate on what is important: the ideal line.

The M Sport seats. Tailor-made for high-adrenalin cornering and expeditions to explore the limits of physics. They reliably counter the forces of lateral acceleration with distinctly contoured side supports and an adjustable backrest.

Increased performance through ergonomics: the precise fit of the M Sport seats in the BMW 1 Series M Coupé offer the best possible body support even for hairpin bends taken in an ambitiously sporting style. The elegant Boston leather in black with contrasting orange stitching and the discreet M embossing on the front headrests add especially stylish shapes to functions designed for sport.

Tailor-made for those with petrol in their veins and a desire for exclusivity: the ambience of the BMW 1 Series M Coupé. Every detail reflects the spirit of the M philosophy – such as the sporting contrasting orange stitching on the luxurious black leather trim.

The distinctive contrasting stitching not only leaves a lasting impression of athletic character on the M Sport seats in Boston leather but also on the interior and door trims in Alcantara. It also signals dynamic elegance and masterful craftsmanship on the gaiters for handbrake and gear lever as well as on the hood of the instrument panel. Take a seat, breathe in deeply – and give your driving pleasure free rein.

A 100% assurance: wherever you see M you can be sure of finding the passion and experience of BMW M GmbH. This is why you will encounter the strongest letter in the world in prominent positions in the BMW 1 Series Coupé.

Pure dynamics under the sign of M: from the rear and the M side air vents, via entry sills, footrest, rev counter, steering wheel, gear lever through to the discreet embossing on the headrests: the M logo enriches the driver’s direct environment just as it does the road and racetrack. And it turns every journey in the BMW 1 Series M Coupé into a very special experience.
