Old Red Celica Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 For a long time we thought the FT86 (yes FT not GT as it was launched as) was going to be a Gen8 Celica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Difficult to see why Toyota would spend a small fortune developing a Celica when they already have two versions of the Supra, the GR86 in the wings, and all this at a time when coupes are a dying breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it's meant to be after the old ae86... But... It just seems soooo much like how a gen8 celica should have been... OK, the engine is questionable but it is what it is. Just disappointed the gr86 isn't turbo'd. Such a small ask for a car nowadays given soooo many have them, I guess they're concerned it could be close to stepping on the Supra's toes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also be to do with average emissions across there range, they need the smaller cars to balance out the bigger ones to meet targets. There are some bolt on supercharger conversions available.

slybunda Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hope new celica is an all out effort by toyota and not a mashup like the subaru gt86 or the bmw supra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Tesla's batteries for example, after 150k miles they lost less than 10% of total range. Toyota is most likely going to use similar batteries to Tesla in future electric vehicles, if not Tesla batteries (Apparently Toyota and Tesla are working together). Shouldn't be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slybunda Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Usually battery lasts 10 years after that they fail and cost mega money to replace. Fine if you sell up before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
