Toyota GR86: General Information
The Toyota GR86 is Toyota's compact, driver-focused rear‑wheel‑drive sports coupe in the Gazoo Racing (GR) family, co-developed with Subaru (the mechanically related Subaru BRZ). It is a lightweight 2+2 coupe built around a low‑center‑of‑gravity boxer engine and a chassis tuned for balance and steering feel; manual and automatic 6‑speed transmissions are offered depending on buyer preference.
The current, second‑generation GR86 (ZN8) debuted for the 2022 model year with a larger Subaru‑sourced 2.4‑liter naturally aspirated flat‑4 (FA24) that pushed power and torque well above the first generation's ~200 hp output. Across model years the GR86 has remained focused on accessible, engaging handling rather than outright straight‑line performance; power for the second generation sits in the mid‑220 hp range while prices have stayed in the affordable sports‑car segment.
