TOYOTA’S upgraded GR86 two-door sports car range will arrive in Australian showrooms in December, headlined by the new GR86 Limited Edition variant which is distinguished by unique, classic design touches.
The Limited Edition is priced from $49,600 plus on-road costs and tops the sharply priced GR86 range, which continues to offer customers one of the most accessible entry points to the sports car segment.
Multiple mechanical and dynamic enhancements were implemented across the GR86 range, based on feedback from professional motorsport drivers, with the range-opening GT variant retaining its $43,2401 pricetag it has held since its launch in 2022.
Likewise, the more highly-specified GTS also retains its 2022 launch price at $45,3901, which can be augmented with the Dynamic Performance Pack for $2200.
Toyota Australia spokesman Sean Hanley said the GR86 Limited Edition would make the responsive and lightweight coupe even more desirable.
“The GR86 has always exhibited a visual flair, and the Limited Edition is the perfect blend of style and substance with its unique paint colour, bronze alloys and tan interior evoking classic sports cars,” he said.
“With a raft of mechanical upgrades that make it even more dynamic at no extra cost, the GR86 has never been more desirable than it is now.”
Limited to a run of 86 units, the GR86 Limited Edition is based on the top-of-the-range GTS.
Automatic variants are now able to manually downshift at a higher rpm, providing greater control for the driver, improved power delivery, and a more exhilarating engine sound.
The responsive and rev-happy 2.4-litre engine develops 174kW of power and 250Nm of torque. The shock absorbers and electric power steering have also been retuned to improve.
