This is a step backward. Please install north south not transverse. In rally now days is transverse because of the cheap cars they are based on not because teams would not rather do north south installations.

@JayHaell Ай бұрын

@@TaktkoThere's nothing about a longitudinal awd drivetrain that's better than transverse. Most awd drivatrains are assymetric anyway (unless you go the Audi/Subaru route, which gives unnecessary understeer and makes the chassi longer in the front) The only real advantage of longitudinal is the aesthetics, it "looks" better.

Toyota Japan, through Rookie Racing (Akio Toyoda's own racing team), actually built a GR86 with the G16E as its engine but they put the engine longitudinally to make it RWD only and use it to race in Super Taikyu.

@@CompressorSurge Here's another fun fact. Before they put the regular G16E this year, Rookie Racing used a destroked G16E (1.3L) to achieve higher RPM. Considering there's been rumours around the next-gen 86 coming and the S-FR (Miata competitor) approved to be built after being in a concept car limbo for a while, this recent engine development is very interesting.

This is ultra cool and I love the philosophy of the project, keeping the Corolla drivetrain and 86 body very faithful to the originals. I'm hoping they add some cool oem feeling exterior parts like the high wing that aren't just off the shelf wings and splitters. The high wings on the 90s GT4s, Supras, etc., are so iconic, and it'd be cool to have some high spec factory parts like that floating around. Excited to see how this turns out and I love the idea of a potential production model. Toyota seems to really be killing it these days
