Co-developed

Toyota, once again, joined forces with Subaru to develop the small sportscar. In Subaru guise it is called the BRZ, as it was before. These two cars have near identical appearances save for the frontal treatment. They both have a notably curvier appearance than their predecessors.

Naturally aspirated

Sticking with the original concept the Toyota GR86 still has a horizontally opposed four cylinder engine. The naturally aspirated motor has grown from 2,0- to 2,4 litres thanks to an increase in the bore from 86 to 94 mm. Peak power rises to 174 kW with 250 N.m of torque available at 3 700 r/min.

Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual (check out our Be The Change manual shift pattern T-shirt at this link) or six-speed automatic transmission. Both are connected exclusively to the rear wheels. Toyota says the GR86 manual can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 6,4 seconds, whereas the auto’ takes 6,8. The top speed of the two cars is 226 km/h for the manual and 216 for the auto.

In terms of interior spec, both derivatives are fitted with dual-zone climate control, a six-speaker audio and infotainment system with reverse camera, multifunction steering wheel and heated seats with a leather and suede trim combination.
