Sometimes 2+2=4 but in the case of Toyota’s chairman Akio Toyoda ripping some donuts in a Subaru WRX STI rally car, it’s more like 1+1=3. No, we didn’t forget how to use our abacus as Best Car Web shared this interesting story. You see, Toyota and Subaru got into bed a long time ago and the love child from that rendezvous was the Toyobaru twins, the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. Since then, their relationship has only deepened with the new generation of the GR86 and the new BRZ twin as well as

Toyota USA has announced updates for the 2024 Toyota GR86. One of the highlights is the GR86 Trueno Edition, featuring a nostalgic two-tone design in Halo and black or Track bRed and black colour options, limited to 860 units for the US market. The GR86 Trueno Edition boasts a black wrapped hood, Trueno Edition side panel graphic, and black painted duckbill spoiler, complementing the Halo or Track bRed body colour.

To be specific, that number is 127 units, and honestly, that sounds generous enough, considering that Thailand had only 71 units allocated for them. It appears that as fast as the GR Yaris is in terms of performance, it’s also driving out of showrooms as quickly.

Car manufacturers have been downsizing their engines for a while now. BMW started using 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engines as opposed to their well-known naturally aspirated (NA) straight-six engines, Volkswagen began using 1.4-litre turbocharged engine to replace their NA 1.6 and 2.0-litre engines, you get the idea.

Following the sneak peek last month, Subaru has just released a teaser video of the all-new 2022 Subaru BRZ. Not much can be seen from the video, but the teaser photo does show its headlamp design with the signature C-shaped LED graphics. Based on sneak peek, the 2022 Subaru BRZ retains the sleek coupe profile with eye-pleasing proportions. Wheels appear to be 18-inch items that resemble the ones in the Toyota GR Yaris. Details are expected to be revealed on 18 November. It is expected to receiv
