The GT86 has been built in the Buckingham workshops of GPRM, the race preparation outfit which developed the Toyota Avensis ‘Next Generation Touring Car’ BTCC concept.
Powered by a 16-valve double overhead cam horizontally opposed ‘boxer’ engine delivering 197bhp, the Toyota GT86 captures some of the best elements of three models fromToyota’s rich sporting heritage: the Sports 800, 2000GT and Corolla GT (AE86). It went on to sale in the UK to critical acclaim at the beginning of July 2012.
