Were you after a Toyota GR 86? Sadly it's already sold old - and it did so in under 90 minutes of being on sale 👀
. The GR 86 offers 232bhp and 184lb ft, up from the GT86’s 197bhp and 151lb ft. It can do the 0-62mph sprint in 6.3sec, which is 1.1sec quicker than its predecessor.
Peak power arrives at 7000rpm and the unit is able to rev to 7400rpm. Japanese buyers will have a choice of six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. The GR 86 also features Subaru's Eyesight driver assistance systems. Toyota says a major focus has been on retaining the “essential fun-to-drive” characteristics of the GT86, which was launched in 2012, and a key part of that has been minimising the weight. The new car has a claimed kerb weight of 1270kg, which is 5kg lighter than the original. Toyota says this has been achieved through features such as the use of an aluminium roof and body panels.
The new model also features aerodynamic front air ducts and side panels, which, Toyota says, are based on learnings from its motorsport programmes and aid handling and stability. The change of name from GT86 to GR 86 brings the coupé in line with the rest of Toyota's current GR performance line, joining the GR Supra coupé and GR Yaris hot hatch.
