Toyota in Spain has released a teaser for a “GT86
by Toyota Gazoo Racing” with the caption “It’s all a matter of passion for
speed.” Taking its name from Toyota’s Gazoo Racing racing
division, the GR brand adds a number of performance parts that go beyond the GR
Sport’s basic bodykit and suspension upgrades. In Japan, the 86 GR receives
17-inch Rays alloys, Recaro seats, a Torsen limited-slip differential and
Brembo brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear callipers.
All these go on top of the GR Sport package for the
sports car, which consist of a bodykit, Sachs dampers and a few other aesthetic
and mechanical tweaks. Typically, GR and GR Sport models don’t come with any
extra power – that’s reserved for the top tier GRMN versions, so expect the
standard 205 PS 2.0 litre flat-four, with six-speed manual and automatic
transmission options. No turbo, of course.
