TEAM TOYOTA GB GT86

 

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.

Team Toyota GB earned fame in the 1980s and ’90s thanks to championship victories with the Corolla in the British Touring Car Championship andUKrallying. The team’s last appearance was in the BTCC in 1995 with the Carina Es raced by Julian Bailey and Tim Sugden.
