Lightweight, nimble, and incredibly communicative, the 2025 Toyota GR86 is crafted for purists seeking a true driver’s car without breaking the bank. It delivers pure driving joy through its high-revving, responsive engine, a chassis tuned for razor-sharp handling, and a rear-wheel-drive layout paired with a manual transmission for ultimate engagement.
Rev-Hungry Boxer-Four Engine
The first ingredient in the GR86’s scintillating sauce is a high-strung 2.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-four that generates up to 228 HP and 184 pound-feet of torque, achieving peak torque at a thrillingly low 3,400 RPM to ensure instantaneous responsiveness every time you press the throttle. This allows it to send the GR86 from 0 to 60 in only 6 seconds.
The flat-four engine choice is deliberate for maximum responsiveness. This configuration positions the cylinders flat and low, lowering the car’s center of gravity, enhancing stability and agility through every corner. And thanks to the pistons naturally counter-balancing each other, this engine is virtually vibration-free, resulting in silky-smooth power even at high RPMs. Add to all that the boxer engine’s signature deep, throaty growl, and you have a powerplant that connects with you on a truly primal level.
Razor-Sharp Handling
Thanks to a chassis that’s been honed to perfection, the GR86 rewards true driving purists with the connected, communicative feel they crave, ensuring precise and unwavering control in any situation. Standard rear-wheel drive is intentional for near-perfect weight distribution, allowing the GR86 to maintain stellar balance through every corner. The Torsen limited-slip differential enhances cornering stability even further by continuously adjusting torque between the rear wheels, directing more power to the one with the most grip for confident control.
Meanwhile, the available SACHS high-performance dampers are finely tuned to effectively absorb vibrations, reduce roll and pitch, and maximize ground contact even on uneven surfaces, resulting in outstanding composure and control without sacrificing ride comfort. At the same time, the 6-speed manual transmission lets you switch off Vehicle Stability Control so you can access the rawest form of driving. And with available Brembo brakes delivering immense, precisely controlled stopping force, the GR86 almost feels like an extension of your instincts.
Spacious and Refined Interior
Unlike most sports cars, the GR86 is actually everyday-friendly. It offers ample legroom and headroom in the front, even for taller drivers, while the rear seat provides space for groceries and bags. Meanwhile, a host of niceties ensures a comfortable riding experience. They can include heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button start, Ultrasuede and leather upholstery with black stitching, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a premium 8-speaker sound system.
