2013 Toyota GT 86

      Hello all, today dhika will share information about the Toyota GT 86. Well here's a New Car Toyota GT 86, a sports car that made its world debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor show and according to the info I can, this car will be sold in the UK in June 2012.

 

     Toyota GT 86 has been designed to provide the core qualities of a classic sports car experience. That means the right, quick response to the smallest throttle and steering input and the type of performance that appeals to those who are driving is a passion, not a necessity.

      Toyota GT 86 was built on a new platform, with a highly aerodynamic bodyshell stretched tight over the elements of a car mechanic. Rather than fitting the powertrain, large weight capacity, Toyota has chosen not to return to his sports roots, install, compact front mount, free-revving gasoline engine that drives the rear wheels.

Interior Toyota GT 86

      Toyota 4240 GT size 86 mm, height 1285 mm and 2570 mm wide, dimensions that make it a four-seater sports car is the most compact available today. Powertrain and the driving position has been set low and as far as possible to achieve the best balance, this car is almost perfect 53:47 weight distribution front backward. Flat-four engine format and driver's hip point of the lowest of any current production model of Toyota.

      Toyota GT 86 making the most of lighter curb weight, making it easy for drivers to exploit the nimble handling and cornering. The suspension features MacPherson struts in front and double wishbones at the rear.

The world's first horizontally opposed engine with D-4S

 
      Toyota GT engine 86 is the result of Toyota and Subaru's joint development program that brings together the spirit of their technical know-how and another for sports cars.

      Toyota has added a D-4S injection technology for the new Subaru, horizontally opposed, cc naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine 1998. This system features twin injectors separately for both direct and port injection, and high compression ratio of 12.5:1, increasing power and torque at various engine speeds without sacrificing fuel efficiency and environmental performance.

      Flat four engine has the same bore and stroke of 86.0mm and drives through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Power is distributed to the rear wheels through a limited slip differential to provide the best grip in all driving conditions. ABS and vehicle stability control system is switchable has been tuned specifically to provide dynamic stability at the limit of the car's performance with minimal electronic intervention to help preserve the purity of driving experience.

     Toyota GT 86 engine really lightweight which offers intimacy and involvement that can be driven cars as an extension of the driver's body. In this way, perfectly recaptures the spirit of encouraging the last of the AE86. And, with many customizable parts, shares his predecessor aims to be an affordable car that will grow with their owners.

Design of the Toyota GT 86
 
      Inform the design of Toyota's new styling, as in the way attention is focused on the bottom of the car with lattice lower large. Elsewhere "want" approach can be seen in, a clear expressive lines.

     Lattice lower "scorpion" look gives the appearance of the Toyota GT 86 is stronger, with further details including model sport-specific 17-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, twin exhaust and "86" logo indicating piston particular powertrain configuration car.

     The steering wheel has a diameter of 365mm, so the smallest ever fitted to a Toyota car, and trimmed in a deer skin, was developed from feedback from drivers who complete a test on how to achieve the best performance and grip the steering wheel.

     3 meter instrument cluster is structured around a large tachometer, design the benefit of close attention to the position of the displays, signs and typography. The result is the best visibility and readability. The driver-focused cockpit further reinforced by carbon-effect trim, all black roof lining, red stitching on, switch rocker-style aviation coatings and lightweight, aluminum pedals.

Toyota's 50 years of sports car heritage

 
     Toyota GT 86 may only now be launched as a sports car in the world to feature a front-mounted, horizontally opposed engine and rear-wheel drive, but can not claim to be the first. Honor is held by two cylinder boxer-engined Toyota Sports 800 companies that began developing in 1962. Since then, Toyota has established a long history of producing exciting, driver-focussed sports car with the format front-engine, rear-wheel drive that has proven to be popular with the public because they have been successful in the competition.

Tokyo Motor Show: Volkswagen Passat Alltrack

Volkswagen has releases the new Passat Alltrack,which will debut at the Tokyo Motor show next week. The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack will come equipped with all-wheel drive as standard in the UK and will sit between the Passat estate and the Tiguan in VW’s line-up.

VW claims the Alltrack has genuine off-road capabilities, something emphasised with both its styling and equipment. The visual changes include a new design for the front and rear bumpers inspired by the Tiguan and Touareg SUVs and flared wheel arches wrapped in black plastic cladding. Despite the changes, the Alltrack’s length and width are identical to the Passat estate’s at 4771mm and 1820mm respectively.

The new Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is going to be offered with two turbocharged direct injection petrol engines (one with 160 PS / 118 kW and the other rated at 210 PS / 155 kW) and two turbodiesels (TDI) capable of delivering 140 PS / 103 kW or 170 PS / 125 kW.

The range kicks off with the 138bhp six-speed manual version, while there will also be a 168bhp model with a six-speed DSG automatic transmission. Just the one, highly specified, trim level will be available, which comes with Alcantara suede, two-zone climate control, cruise control, tyre pressure sensors, an iPod dock, Bluetooth and 18-inch alloys.

Prices will be revealed soon and order books open in April, with deliveries expected by late summer.



Press Release

Passat Alltrack unites passenger car and SUV worlds

Passat Alltrack has higher ground clearance and new off-road design

Wolfsburg, 23 November 2011 - Over the past four decades, well over 15 million Passat cars have been built. Along with its favourable all-round qualities, the success of the bestseller - which is sold on all of the world's continents - can be attributed to the Passat's wide and diverse range of versions. Now, Volkswagen is extending the model series with another specialist: the Passat Alltrack.

This new version is offered in an estate car configuration, and it closes the gap between the conventional Passat Estate and SUVs such as the Tiguan. The rationale here: many car drivers who use their car as a towing vehicle, or in light off-road situations, want a versatile, sporty and very roomy passenger car that has rugged qualities. Volkswagen developed the Passat Alltrack for this clientele. In comparison with the familiar Passat Estate, the new model is defined by new bumpers in SUV style - with wheel well and side sill flares. Its greater off-road ramp angle, approach angle, departure angle and higher ground clearance all make the Passat Alltrack an excellent SUV alternative for driving on unpaved track.

Two turbocharged direct injection petrol engines (TSI) with 118 kW / 160 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS and two turbodiesels (TDI) - also with direct injection - with 103 kW / 140 PS and 125 kW / 170 PS are available in the Passat Alltrack. The two most powerful Alltrack versions, the 170 PS TDI and the 210 PS TSI, have standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a dual clutch transmission (DSG). For the Passat Alltrack with a 140 PS TDI, Volkswagen will offer all-wheel drive as an option. Just how efficiently the engines of the Passat Alltrack operate together with the intelligently controlled 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is illustrated by the two TDI engines: the 140 PS version has a low combined fuel consumption of 5.7 l/100 km (equivalent to 150 g/km CO2), while fuel consumption for the 170 PS version is 5.8 l/100 km (152 g/km CO2). The Alltrack will debut in a world premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show (03 to 11 December); market launch for the new versatile Alltrack begins in early 2012.
