A number of outlets are reporting that the GR86 will soon ditch its Subaru underpinnings, and the latest rumor suggests that a shortened Lexus IS chassis will host the GR Yaris's engine for the next generation of Toyota's sports car
For its second generation, Toyota decided to differentiate the GR86 from the Subaru BRZ a little more than it had for the cars' first generation. That might just be the beginning, as rumors from Japan suggest that for the third-generation, the sports car could get a Toyota engine and a Lexus platform. Reports indicate that Toyota 's engineers are already hard at work on the next iteration, and that it could ditch the Subaru boxer-four engine entirely. In its place, Toyota 's 1.
It's also done with the Subaru platform, as it will reportedly stick its 1.6-liter engine into a shortened version of the chassis that underpins the Lexus IS. The latter can be equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 that makes 472 hp , so it should be more than capable of accommodating Toyota's three-cylinder engine. However, the base version gets a four-cylinder that makes less than the GR Corolla, so it doesn't need that much power to be fun.
