Why it's really called the 86

Average weight of a horse: 1,100 lbs

Average weight of a duck: 7.5 lbs

Weight ratio of duck to horse: 0.0068

Using Kleiber's Law:

1 Duckpower = (0.0068)^0.75 Horsepower = 0.0238 HP

205 HP = 205/0.0238 Duckpower = 8,613 DP

Therefore the manual 2017 Toyota 86 has approximately 8,600 Duckpower!!

Coincidence??

What a Quack!

I'm shocked that no one has thought to ask:

How many different average animal weights did you go through to get that math to work?

or for that matter that no one thought to chime in on the flip side of the issue:

i.e. if rather than 'horse power' or 'duck power' what '{insert correct animal} power' it would take for the 86 to work as a: 86 '{ aforementioned correct animal} power' = 86

My original question was related to ducks specifically so I didn't bother looking at other animals, but to answer the question of which animal would give 205 horsepower = 86 "such animal" power, the animal would have to weigh 3,500 lbs:

205/[(3500/1100)^0.75] = 86

Male giraffes can weigh around 3,500 lbs, so you could say that the Toyota 86 has 86 giraffe power (But I think 8,600 ducks sounds more menacing than 86 giraffes).

Stroke is 86 and bore is 86

If this was posted, 2L;DR

I'll stick my neck out and agree I like the ducks better!

Duck's CG is very low...there's your connection..
