A Minivan is faster than a Toyota 86 [+video]

The Toyota 86 has always been laughed at because it lacked power. Forget balance, forget poise, there is just no grunt to the car. And to make matters worse, the folks over at Cars.com decided to put that theory to the test and raced a Minivan with a Toyota 86 on the drag strip.

I really love the 86, the sleek sportiness of the car. I have always wanted to get one and am seriously considering one. Until I watched this video.

Perhaps I may need to set my sights on other cars itself.

In defence of the Toyota 86, the Minivan is powered by a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine and delivers 287 hp and 380Nm of torque versus the puny 200hp which the Toyota pushes out. But still, being outrun by a Minivan? Come on!
