Seven months after its official reveal, Toyota has finally launched the GR86’s configurator, allowing potential buyers to spec their own before pulling the trigger on the sports car. Starting off with the different trims, buyers can chose between the GR86 Base and GR86 Premium. The two trims are identical in performance, but the Premium comes with some extras to justify the US$ 2,600 jump over the US$ 27,700 base price. Notably, those extras include lager wheels, a ducktail spoiler, adaptive headlights, heated side mirrors, nicer seats, and an upgraded sound system.
The next step in the configuration process
is the powertrain. As mentioned before, both trims come with the same 228-hp
2.4L four-cylinder engine, but customers can choose between a standard 6-speed
manual or an optional 6-speed automatic transmission for an extra US$ 1,075.
After that, there’s the Colors tab.
Interior upholstery, whether it be cloth in the Base or suede in the Premium,
is limited to black only. Paint colors on the other hand include such hues as
Halo (white), Steel (light grey), Raven (black), Neptune (light blue), Track
Bred (red), Pavement (dark grey), and Trueno Blue (dark blue). Halo and Track
Bred cost an additional US$ 425, but all other paint colors are no-cost options.
Finally, after the empty Packages tab
there’s the Accessories section, which includes various items regarding
interior and exterior protection, as well as some optional tech and visual
upgrades. Possibly the most interesting of the accessories is the GR Appearance
Package, which includes GR fender vent inserts, a GR rear bumper applique, door
edge guards, black wheel locks, and black lug nuts. After all’s said and done,
the most expensive GR86 you can configure is an automatic Premium with every
single accessory optioned, and it goes for around US$ 36,000. Excluding
accessories altogether, that same spec (automatic Premium with the US$ 425 paint)
comes out to a little more than US$ 32,000.
