The Toyota GR86 (and its Subaru BRZ sibling) offers buyers a rear-drive sports coupe at a price that undercuts similar, more powerful offerings like the Nissan Z and Toyota’s own Supra, among others. This video showcases how the model handles the slalom and the moose test.<\/p>\n
This GR86 has the optional Touring Package that adds sports brake pads and 18-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. There are no powertrain changes to the 2.4-liter flat four-cylinder engine. The mill makes 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque in the United States. This one has the six-speed manual rather than the available Subaru Performance Transmission CVT.<\/p>\n

The GR86 clocks 24.2 seconds in the slalom. This is the same as a Mercedes-Benz C 300 and Renault Megane E-Tech. The quickest time ever in KM77.com’s test is the Porsche Taycan GTS that can hustle through the cones in 21.5 seconds.<\/p>\n
The driver reports the GR86 has precise steering. However, the stability control intervened at one point, which limited the vehicle’s acceleration.<\/p>\n
The moose test challenged the driver. He initially used quick, aggressive steering inputs, which resulted in oversteering and hitting a cone. Being more deliberate and precise with the wheels fixes this problem. The GR86 can get through the test at 46.6 miles per hour (75 kilometers per hour).<\/p>\n
The second-generation GR86 debuted for the 2022 model year. Since then, Toyota introduced multiple special editions. For example, the\u00a0Trueno Edition (in gallery above) paid tribute to a sporty version of the AE86-generation Toyota Corolla made famous in the series Initial D<\/em>. It featured\u00a0a two-tone black-and-white body, 18-inch wheels, Sachs dampers, and Brembo brakes.<\/p>\n A third-generation GR86 is reportedly already under development. Toyota is allegedly spearheading the project. The new model is necessary to comply with stricter emissions and safety rules. The engine is possibly a hybrid version of the\u00a0turbocharged three-cylinder from the\u00a0GR Yaris\u00a0and GR Corolla.<\/p>\n Check out the GR86 Trueno Edition and some other special Toyotas:<\/p>\n
