Now for something different… Car Shopping Round 23: We’re going to need a better boat!!!
In 2012 the Toyota 86 was launched to a lot of fanfare… and internet hate. Sure it was a cheap, RWD sports car with a proper manual and was set up to be modded and drifted to within an inch of its life, but it wasn’t turbo, it was too slow and some even called it ugly!
Your mission, should you bother to accept it, is to build a better 86; better the RL stats of the original and silence the internet trolls forever!!!
The requirements:
Wheelbase of 2.5 to 2.7m
98RON fuel
Over or equal to 147Kw/ 197hp
Top speed over 220Km/h
4+ Seats (Standard Interior min.)
Achieve at least 0-100 in 7.6 sec and use 7.8L/100Km (or better)
Toyota doesn’t like warranty claims so the engine should have a reliability of 60+ and the overall reliability should be 75+
Car should look contemporary to 2012 so design is mildly important.
Reliability will be used to separate tied entrants and under-cooled entrants will have their cooling set to minimum required.
No neg sliders; Toyota don’t do flimsy or poorly designed!
EDIT: Missed the budget, sorry, and you’re looking to spend no more than 22k (+0)
EDIT 2: Entries will close when I place a closure notice in this thread, 22nd October, 2016!!!
