Autocross – Toyota 86 vs Corvette Club – Video

Toyota 86 wins first place. Showing what the Toyota 86 is really made of at the Palm Springs Corvette Club Autocross. Toyota 86 wins first place.

The car formerly known as the Scion FR-S is now the Toyota 86 and is tasked with keeping the brand’s sports-car flame burning in this crossover-crazed world. The 2.0-liter flat-four makes 205 hp when paired to the smooth-shifting six-speed manual. With the optional six-speed automatic, however, power drops to 200 hp—but we doubt you’ll be able to tell. Rear-wheel drive and a balanced chassis provide endless fun on twisty roads. When cruising around town, the racy styling will turn heads.
