Apparently they are going forward with it and it looks like it will be sold under the Gazoo Racing brand:

Now if you watch this video you will probably have noticed the car in the video isn't black but a red car. Probably they haven't made a final car yet.

From what is know is that there aren't going to be that many differences between an ordinary black 86 and a Black Limited 86 apart from different brakes, gold wheels, blacked out interior and some fancy Black Limited stitching. In other words: in the same spirits as the AE86 Black Limited!

This time the 86 Black Limited will be a bit rarer car: only 86 are going to be produced. 43 6-speed manual and 43 automatic. Similar to the AE86 Black Limited it will be a Japan-only car.

Toyota Motorsport is developing a rally version of the GT86 sports car that will be eligible to compete in the World Rally Championship.

The car, known as the TMG GT86 CS-R3, will be built to R3 regulations, with a 2000cc boxer engine, rear-wheel drive and a six-speed sequential gearbox. It will be made available to private competitors, with delivery expected for the 2015 season.

The car will be built by Toyota’s german-based motorsport division, Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG), the company that masterminded Toyota’s successful WRC programme in the 1980s and 1990s, securing four drivers’ and three manufacturers’ WRC titles.

Nico Ehlert, TMG’s principal engineer customer motorsport, said: “Rallying is in our blood at TMG so it is very exciting to announce that we will be expanding our rally operations. The GT86 CS-R3 promises to be a thrilling car on the rally stages; with rear-wheel drive we can expect some dramatic action which is sure to be entertaining for drivers and fans alike.”

In a statement, Toyota Motorsport said today’s announcement ‘strengthens TMG’s commitment to customer motorsport and rallying, both of which represent key aspects of its long-term business strategy.’]]>

Well the short answer is that it's been a very nice play to be. It's reasonably comfortable, though I admit I wouldn't mind a little less road noise. To combat this I've upgraded my stereo system which has significantly improved the situation. I found the standard stereo lacking and the upgrade option for the JBL system isn't enough really for what I want, though it is a vast improvement over standard. I had a demo car for 24 hours with the JBL system so had a bit of time to evaluate it.

In respect of the handling, this car has great balance. Understeer is minimal unless you are hamfisted and the car can be steered on the throttle at will. Obviously this is relative child's play in second gear but on track I found with a bit of deft trail braking and subsequent weight transfer I could get the car to properly slide in 3rd gear nearly on the lock stops. This was very do-able at Peel corner for those who know Anglesey circuit well. Needless to say on the trackday plenty of rubber was laid down and it would seem my passengers very much approved of such antics! Also I found tha the Michelin Primacy HP tyres seem to take abuse very well. On track it would seem like the grip tended to dissapear after a few laps, although once you get to this point and aclimatise to a more wayward rear end, it does stay quite consistent which really does allow you to play. Sure grippier tyres would equate to quicker lapping, but you can still peddle the car at a fair old pace and it really allows you to adjust the attitude of the car mid corner. In short this car is just made to drift. I found that on the track day, once I got to grips with it, I spent most of my time giggling. I hate to agree with Jeremy Clarkson on anything if I'm honest but he's right about the car making you smile a lot.

I drive 400 miles or so a week for work and have a rather decent daily commute where the traffic is never that heavy. I've found the car to be predictable in all weathers, though the Primacy tyres don't work particulary well in cold temperatures, say less than 5C. In this respect when it's really cold I admit it does seem to make sense to not turn all the aids off. It's not that I feel I can't catch it but it almost seems the sensible option to not do more than put in 'Sport' mode and turn everything off when grip levels are unpredictable.

In respect of comfort the heated seats have been a boon and the driving position is simply spot on. It's a comfortable place to be. I've been averaging around 32-36mpg in a mixture of driving which is based around my commute. I can live with this sort of economy, so the car is practical for me. I have found that this is a car that generates a whole load of attention, most of it positive but I do find that some of those younger drivers tend to want to race you. Obviously I'm too old for that now, but I do admit at times it's difficult not to treat every quiet roundabout as playtime.

Overall and now with the improved sound system, this is a car I look forward to driving everytime I get in it. Having the exhaust and induction kit adds to the experience of course.

I think this is about the time for me to thank Toyota and Subaru for making a car just for me. I love it! ]]>

Both of them are certainly not worth being on top and the Toyota GT86 is only at place four of the poll.
Please all help to get the Toyota GT86 on top! Ask friends, tweet or write on facebook and lets get a decent car on top! ]]> http://www.autoblog.nl/
