Toyota GT86: Happy New Gear
The Toyota GT86 isn’t a car for standing still, so it’s no surprise that it’s raced ahead to mark a “new year” with a refreshed line-up and style detail changes. At heart it remains every inch the best driver’s car to be had for the money – and now for even less cash, thanks to a price reduction.
New wheels and new colours lead the features list, with
the range-topping Aero model running on gloss black 18-inch rims and available with a hot GT86
Orange paint finish. In line with customer preference, Aero is now exclusively available with
six-speed manual transmission. The larger alloys are also newly available as an option on the core GT86 model.
The Primo model, entry point to the range, moves on to
16-inch alloys and comes with a £300 lower price tag. An on-going customer offer is available,
adding a further £505 saving to deliver an on-the-road price of £22,195. Pricing for other models in
the range is unchanged.
What has not changed is the fundamentally brilliant GT86
dynamic package: its proven
combination of a normally aspirated 2.0-litre boxer engine, low centre
of gravity, rear-wheel drive and a beautifully balanced chassis continues to deliver the exhilarating
and rewarding driving experience that earned it Top Gear magazine’s Car of the Year title. The engine now
complies with Euro 6 emissions standards, with no change to its fuel economy and CO2 performance.

This is not the end of the GT86 story for 2015: a new
special edition model will be joining the range this summer, details to be announced soon.
The 2016 GT86 is available to order now with first
deliveries to customers in mid-July.
