Default Modding Down Under: Toyota 86 (Scion FR-S) by MRT Performance



Australian companies MRT Performance and ROH Wheels have collaborated to supercharge and turbocharge a Toyota 86 … oh, and they also modified almost everything else on the car. The supercharging-turbocharging “1-2 punch” means this 86 has an extra 84 horsepower and 95 lb-ft of torque at its disposal, which translates to 251 horsepower and 236 [...]
