#toyota #gr86 #gazooracing #trueno #brz

Toyota just gave the GR86 a performance refresh. What are the changes and what can we expect from a next-generation?

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) announced today that it has upgraded the GR86 for improved turning performance and easier upper-limit handling, deepening the unique driving feel of a GR vehicle. Orders are now being accepted by Toyota vehicle dealers across Japan, with sales set to launch on August 1. TGR also announced today the start of a purchasing lottery that runs to July 28 for the RZ "Ridge Green Limited", a limited special-edition model that augments the GR86's exterior color lineup with the newly added color Ridge Green and sports exclusive bronze wheels and exclusive interior embroidery. Limited sales of 200 units are to start from around October.

Love that green color. Bring back more green cars!

[doctor_gunner]

Making 86 a four door with turbo engine is against the formula. It won't be an 86 anymore

[J.R.F.]

I absolutely love my 2024 BRZ; I have zero regrets ordering it ❣️

[ytj]

Maybe as an upgrade for 2025 they could give the GR86 stable oil pressure regardless of which direction you're turning and without having to overfill.

Oh cool, the color combo we have wanted to come back to the Miata for years....on a different competitor yet again. 😂

[RockMiach]

love my 86 but would love them to get a toyota engine in the future

[danieljones]

I would not be opposed to renaming the 86 to "Celica" and making the coupe the "86 Trim" with a 4-door and wagon trim.

The twins are amazing for me the formula is perfect for having fun on the streets. Not all of us can access a track where more speed is allowed. Sub 3000 lbs over 200hp 3 pedals & RWD are the stats I cherish. You can put foot to the floor and not be flung off the road and have a moment to enjoy getting to 60. If under 4 seconds you can’t really enjoy accelerating before you get to speed limit.
This is my 1st car that I’d definitely buy another if anything happens

[amode]

Gosh… I agree unless Toyota do something very different with the 86 like these 4 doors version I don’t see a place in the future lineup with the Celica. They’ll have there different characteristics one being AWD and the other RWD so works there and if Toyota keep the 86 as a more affordable version but with all the body styles… if they can have both, I won’t be complaining though. Wondering if the Celica would have both the 1.5 and 2.0 turbos, similarly the MR2

[mrgurulittle]

I really like the current 86 with the Subaru engine. It’s like a baby Porsche. And the 86/BRZ platform is a special platform containing a lot of SGP technology with some TNGA technology. If the new 86 is not developed by Subaru, I’d be disappointed. And 4-door is unacceptable for a 86.

[fuji]

Very cool to see, glad we're getting another "hakone". I do hope they at least don't make the 86 throttle curve worse, because it's already hilariously bad. From the research I've done and friends I've spoken to, you're getting 100% acceleration at under 50% throttle input, making any input past halfway effectively worthless. The BRZ does not have this issue and is much more natural and linear, so it's clearly just something tuned in to make the 86 seem faster.

[Rhondaandjames]

If they could get the GR86 up to at least 250 lbft of torque they would really have something. About 285 Hp and 250 torque would make it a really competetive sports car. Shaving a second off the six second 0-60 would make a dramatic difference

[hatteras]

I wonder if the RPM range limit for the autos would be a simple software update for older models. That would be nice.

[RayanMADAO]

I want a shooting brake but they’d never bring it here in the Middle East

[bobbyjones]

Yeah, they’re never gonna give that 350 hp..lol

[shadowninja]

My guess is that the SFR Miata fighter is going to be the affordable car.

[seb]

Would y'all be interested in GR Sienna?

[parispierre]

I foresee next gen 86 being significantly more expensive. I’m glad I’m getting my 86 now. Enjoy it before they mess it up

[rightlanehog]

Kirk, If you want a GR 86 Shooting Brake then you are welcome to get in line BEHIND me. 😉 If we really want the GR 86 wagon to come to market then we should take the strategic approach of calling it the 'GR 86 SUV'. After all, everyone wants a SUV but nobody wants a wagon. 😁

[ExileXCross]

"newly available" tpms warning system ffs maybe you shouldn't have taken that away in the first place. I missed this feature so much going from 2013 to a 2017.
