An allegedly leaked slide from an internal Toyota presentation suggests that the Mk2 Toyota GT86 will make its debut next summer.

When it arrives, the new car will feature a fresh rear-wheel-drive platform and, according to the rumours, a new 255bhp turbocharged engine. A Subaru badged version will go on sale too, after the two companies agreed to continue their business agreement to develop sports cars together earlier this year.

Specifications for the engine are yet to be announced, but we expect it will be sourced from BMW’s parts bin. Toyota recently confirmed that two in-line four-cylinder versions of the GR Supra will be available for the Japanese market – the most potent of which will use the same 255bhp 2.0-litre engine found in the mid-range BMW Z4 sDrive30i.

Should the same engine be transferred into the new GT86 in the same state of tune, it’ll have a maximum torque figure of 400Nm – which is a 195Nm increase over the outgoing model. However, the engine isn’t currently available with a manual transmission in any of BMW’s vehicles so, unless Toyota and Subaru can develop one to suit, the next GT86 could be automatic-only.
