Since its launch last year, the Toyota GT86 has revitalised
Toyota’s reputation for building cars that are all about the pure
pleasure of driving. Now the acclaimed GT86 gains even more
appeal with the introduction of the new GT86 TRD package.
Just 250 examples will be available, equipped with genuine design
and performance features from TRD (Toyota Racing Development).
GT86 is the first UK Toyota for which official TRD parts have
been used to create a specific production model grade.Both
six-speed manual and automatic versions will be available, in a
choice of two colours: Pearl White and GT86 Black.
The focus is on sports styling, but not at the cost of GT86’s
essential performance and handling character. The package
includes 18-inch cast TF6 alloys, deep front and side skirts, a
rear bumper spoiler and a fast-response quad-exhaust system with
a rear diffuser to increase stability. The TRD touches also
extended to a branded radiator cap and fuel filler cover, while
inside the car there is a new TRD gear shift lever.
Acceleration and maximum speed are unchanged at 7.7 seconds for
0-62mph and 140mph for the manual and 8.4 seconds and 130mph for
the automatic.
On-the-road prices are £31,495 for the manual and £32,995 for the
auto.
