If you're one of those people who believes Subaru's BRZ (nee Toyota GT 86) needs more power, then fear not, it's already in the pipeline - turbocharging, all-wheel drive and even bigger capacity engines are all on the product team's to-do list.

Pricing of Toyota's new rear-wheel drive GT 86 coupe will, in some ways, be the most important determinant of the car's success. If it was priced too close to lifestyle sports coupes such as Audi's TT or BMW's Z4, then customers would naturally expect the same level of creature comforts - which would defeat the very purpose of Toyota's light-weight sports car.

It's a brave car maker who bucks the trend for more power, more performance and more.. everything when building a sports car, and when that car maker is Japanese there's an even more tightly defined expectation for what constitutes a performance car.
