There's zero point in AWD on a RWD based vehicle other than snow performance. It would be ridiculous in this car, and completely counter to the point of it.

I could see a turbo, and that would be outstanding.

AWD is just click-bait.

Well if it is indeed 300 hp then awd would be a decent addition but as noted, not really a need.

But turbo first. Or bigger n/a motor


I rather turbo,less complicated on the long run,and like 360hp.
While wouldn't be bad imagine about another car to challenge the euro pocket rockets ( 2 series,CLA,R,S3,etc ) It's kinda weird imagine how good could be heavier and with 8-speed Auto box, instead of at least a sequential gearbox.

Gotta read the article

In addition, the GT86 is expected to get a four-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine built by Subaru so it's likely the same unit installed in the 2015 WRX STI where it churns 305 bhp (227 kW) and 290 lb-ft (393 Nm) of torque.

In the uprated GT86, the engine will develop up to 300 bhp (224 kW) sent to both axles through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

There are always AWD 86-car rumors going around. But as was said I would rather see more tq and hp in that car than anything else.

What they really need is an increase in stock power output.
