Although many would have liked a turbo, the difference on the road is significant, as we saw during our first contact with the car this summer.
The GR 86 with manual gearbox goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds, compared to 7.2 previously, while the one with automatic gearbox does it in 6.8 seconds instead of 8.2. By the way, you’ll have to pay a hefty top-up of $ 2,400 for the automatic, which does come with additional safety tech like pre-collision braking, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure and sway warnings. as well as the lead vehicle start alert. These are all devices shared with the EyeSight-enabled Subaru BRZ 2022, by the way.
