Toyota GR86 fitted with a 1.4-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine Runs on carbon-neutral synthetic fuel Used for development purposes only, for now It would seem like Toyota/Subaru are finally giving the people what they’ve been asking for – a turbocharged engine for the 86/BRZ twin.

Toyota GR Supra Ever since news broke on Toyota’s decision to collaborate with BMW for the new GR Supra years ago, many fans and industry critics loathed it, thinking that Toyota had “lost their mind”, or was looking for an “easy way out” to build the legendary nameplate successor. After its global debut in 2019, many weren’t impressed with the amount of BMW badging engraved all over the car, calling it the “Zupra” (an acronym mix of its cabriolet sibling, the BMW Z4). Some were taken aback by i

BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the 2 Series Gran Coupe, is launched in Thailand.
