The Toyota GR86 is the successor to the GT86, a car that was offered by Toyota for 9 years and became popular among car enthusiasts and purists.

The Toyota GR86 takes that same recipe and goes one step further; the 2.0L NA Engine is given more capacity to 2.4L. This means that the GR86 produces 231 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. That torque is now more accessible as it peaks at only 3700 rpm.

What is crucial to note about the GR86 is that it will only be on sale for a short window, and after 2024 it will be discontinued. The car simply cannot comply with EU safety laws beyond 2025. It is also important to know that the GR86 has sold out its current allocation, and more aren't likely to be made available, so if you want one you're out of luck.

This first drive was my opportunity to drive the Toyota GR86 before it might not be possible to do so anymore (unless any GR86 owners wants to let me loose in theirs!). The GR86 is pretty much guaranteed to become a future classic.
