The 2024 Toyota GR86 comes with a new performance pack that offers a classic sports car experience with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. Despite the rise of electric cars, the GR86 prioritizes the connection between the driver and the car and focuses on handling rather than raw acceleration. It is powered by a 2.4L flat-four engine that delivers 228 horsepower and is paired with a responsive six-speed manual transmission.
On the exterior, it features LED headlights, functional aerodynamics, and distinctive 18-inch wheels with red Brembo calipers. Inside, it is equipped with supportive Alcantara seats, an 8-inch user-friendly infotainment system with wireless connectivity, and practical amenities.
The performance pack improves the handling with Sachs racing suspension, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, and upgraded brakes, making it more capable on the track. Its on-road dynamics are praised for precise steering, minimal body roll, and enjoyable handling, appealing to driving enthusiasts. The pricing starts at around $34,000, positioning it competitively against rivals like the Mustang EcoBoost and Honda Civic Type R.
