Toyota's GT86 meets the legendary 'Drift King'

Ben Pulman (photography by Paddy McGrath), 11 February 2013 11:45

When CAR met 'Drift King' Keiichi Tsuchiya, we took Toyota's new GT86 coupe – and its legendary AE86 predecessor – along to see what the original oversteer hero made of the slidey new model. Read on for the full story of how Tsuchiya brought drifting to the world, and his thoughts on the Toyota GT86 and AE86. Toyota GT86 meets 'Drift King' ...

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 18 May 2012 09:20

So absolutely has the company hung its hat on the environmentally-conscientious peg of hybrid drive technology of late that, until the arrival of this new 2+2, the fastest accelerating production Toyota was… Ta-daaah! The Land Cruiser V8. Mercifully, and not before time, the new 2012 Toyota GT86 changes all that. But only just… Because, drawing on a long heritage of ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...

Toyota Verso-S (2011) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 21 March 2011 15:00

It’s 11 years since Toyota was at the vanguard of the mini-MPV segment with the launch of the Yaris Verso. Now, six years after the demise of the vehicle that came to be known as the ‘ice-cream van’, Toyota makes a long-awaited return to the sector with the Verso-S. 2011 Toyota Verso-S - return of the Toyota mini-MPV The previous ...

Toyota iQ2 1.0 long-term test review

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 03 August 2009 16:00

Long-term test update - 3 August 2009 For such a small car, the Toyota iQ is dripping with big car gadgets. Now we’ve lived with the iQ for a while, here’s how I’m finding life on the road with the city car’s toys: • The smart key entry is superb. It’s my first car with keyless go, but I don’t know what ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...

Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.3 2WD (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 15 April 2009 12:27

Don’t laugh too loudly at the name. With the Urban Cruiser, Toyota’s clearly cashing in on its brutish 4x4 Land Cruiser branding (there was once a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine-style Space Cruiser too) rather than deliberately evoking images of kerbcrawlers. It’s attached to a Kia Soul-style MPV-lite body, that’s really little more than a built-up supermini, complete with 1.3-litre) Yaris ...

Toyota Avensis 1.8 Valvematic Tourer (2009) CAR review

2.5

Steve Moody, 15 December 2008 17:00

Do you have a handy mat for kneeling on in the garden? How about an all-in-one slipper for both your feet? Cantilevered ‘easy’ tongs for picking up leaves without bending down? Is the biggest thrill in your day the frisson of fear delivered by virtue of the Daily Mail’s latest doom-mongering? No? Well then the chances are that you do ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D-4D 150 (2009) CAR review

2.5

Colin Overland, 04 December 2008 09:39

For a new car, the British-built new Toyota Avensis looks and feels remarkably similar to the old one. The Avensis faithful will see this as a good thing. In much the same way that you’d worry if a BBC newsreader arrived on your screen one day with a pink mohican and LOVE and HATE tattooed on his knuckles, you don’t ...

Toyota iQ 1.0 (2009) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 02 September 2008 11:18

The new Toyota iQ is a landmark car: the world's soon-to-be-biggest car maker has gone and made the world's smallest four-seater. You see, the iQ packs two rows of pews into a tiny slip of a hatchback. It's not even three metres long. But the Toyota iQ has a twist; like Smart's Fortwo, the last car to rip up the ...
