Toyota GT86
The GT 86 and its twin brother the Subaru BRZ were new in 2012. They immediately drew the attention of performance car fans for their raw driving dynamics, low weight, uncompromised handling, and lively performance. The GT 86/BRZ technical layout is essential with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine that sends power to the rear wheels over a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox (via Toyota).
With 200 horsepower on tap, the GT 86 sounds less powerful than some competitors. But if you consider that it weighs just 1200 kilograms (2,700 pounds), it’s more than enough for a spirited driving experience and massive drifts thanks to skinny rear tires. It’s relatively affordable today but we would wait a few years to pick up a perfect example for a fraction of the price.
