It seems like the Toyota/Subaru twins might take a different direction come 2021, cites Creative311. This comes after rumours that the 2020 Subaru BRZ has been discontinued.

With the launches of the Subaru BR-Z Final Edition and the Toyota 86 Black Limited runout specials in Germany and Japan respectively, it seems that the rumour isn't unfounded.

Since both models share a platform, it’s only a matter of the time before the 86 gets discontinued too.

So what will the next Toyobaru twin be like? We know that it’s coming in summer 2021 and it's most likely powered by a 2.4-litre, 220 PS NA engine underneath its Corvette-esque exterior. 

According to Japanese sources however, the twins will adopt Subaru Global Platform (SGP) underpinnings instead of the next-gen Toyota TNGA.

Interestingly however, the source also cites that the BRZ will solely be an overseas-exclusive model that will not be available in Japan - leaving only the 86 to carry the torch in its home country.
