Recently, supercar enthusiast Cuong Do La took a short trip to Phu Yen , Dak Lak province. But unlike the times he used expensive supercars, this time his main companion was his super-tuned Toyota 86 manual sports car. Cuong Dollar's Toyota 86 has been upgraded with hundreds of millions of dong to upgrade the exhaust, shock absorbers, rims and many other things. Therefore, Cuong Dollar needs a long enough journey to experience the car and see if any adjustments are needed.
And when arriving in Phu Yen, Cuong Do La chose Ca Pass, instead of going through the highway and tunnel, going through the pass would help him experience the most authentic version of his Toyota 86 manual transmission car. This Toyota 86 was quickly sold by Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong, also known as Cuong Do La, in February of this year. At that time, the Toyota 86 manual sports car had only run 680 miles, equivalent to 1,095 km, and had been sold after only 1 hour. After 3 months in Cuong Do La's hands, the Toyota 86 has been upgraded with hundreds of millions of dong to bring the most enjoyable driving experience. First is the Rays TE37 S-Plus rims measuring 18 inches.
The design of this rim set is a large single spoke, painted in bronze, helping to make the chassis of this Toyota 86 sports car more sturdy. Comes with a set of 6-piston GRMN - GR Master Nurburgring Limited Edition, too perfect for this car line. Next is the Ohlins Road & Track fork set and finally the Tomei titanium exhaust (including the titanium header) to help the bike make a more impressive breathing sound every time it accelerates. In the engine compartment, the Armaspeed carbon engine cover is also added. Inspired by the legendary Toyota 2000GT, Cuong Dola's Toyota 86 has a 2+2 fastback style with dimensions of 4,240 x 1,775 x 1,320 mm and a wheelbase of 2,570 mm.
This mid-life upgrade of the Toyota 86 includes some slight design tweaks such as the front bumper, rear diffuser, front and rear light cluster design... The car is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, with a 10-spoke design contrasting between Gun Metal Grey and bright chrome plating. The heart of the Toyota 86 is a 2.0-liter direct-injection FA20 I4 engine, producing 204 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 212 Nm at 6,400 - 6,800 rpm, transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. The car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds.
