The 2017 Toyota 86 limited edition has been revealed, bringing a bright new orange exterior paint, upgraded mechanicals and new interior trims. Limited to just 60 units in Australia, the special 86 is based on the top spec GTS manual and is priced from AUD 41,490 before on-road costs, representing an increase of AUD 4550 over the base car.

Solar Orange metallic exterior paint distinguishes the limited-run model from its more regular siblings, along with a metallic black rear spoiler and door mirrors.


Filling the wheel arches are 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels finished in anthracite, housing uprated Brembo ventilated brake discs, measuring 326mm at the front and 316mm at the rear – up from 294mm and 290mm respectively. The mechanical upgrades are completed by special Sachs performance dampers for “enhanced stability”.

Inside, the 86 limited edition gets leather-accented front sports seats with perforated Alcantara inserts and contrasting orange stitching. This trim also extends to the steering wheel, door trims, gear knob and handbrake. Adorning the dashboard is a suede-like ‘Grandlux’ material, embossed with an orange-coloured 86 logo. 


Under the bonnet is the same 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated boxer engine, developing 205 hp at 7000 rpm and 212 Nm at 6400 rpm. Drive is sent to the rear wheels solely by a six-speed manual for the limited edition.

Standard equipment carried over from the GTS base car includes keyless entry and start, a 4.2-inch multifunction driver’s display, a 6.1-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation and Toyota Link2 connected apps, along with dual-zone climate control.
