No minor revision, the ToyotaUK GR86 hits heights beyond the reach of its iconic predecessor -
The company won’t have failed to notice, however, that many aftermarket tuners had their own playbooks that embraced more power and torque and fatter tyres – modifications aimed at digging deeper into the low c-of-g chassis’ talent reserves while posting straight line shove more in sync with the GT86’s sharp, sassy styling.All part of Japanese performance car culture, of course. The GR86 aims to unify both camps with more grip and jump to 2.
The things that were considered core GT86 attributes, though, carry on. They’re well-rehearsed and merge the acuity and feel of the steering with the satisfaction to be had from changing gear, the supplementary signals decoded by the seat of your pants and the modest distance between your bum and the skin of the road. Sacrosanct assets all enhanced for the GR86 according to team GR.
We drove the GR86 on the fabulously smooth and twisty hill roads west of Seville at its launch, and later on some ofmost unforgiving surfaces during our eCoty 2022 test, and the larger capacity boxer motor is a revelation, hauling lustily from modest revs in fourth and fifth yet red-lining with perhaps still greater throaty urgency than the previous 2-litre unit, feeling smoother and sounding slightly more sonorous in the act, no doubt a consequence of some flattering sonic augmentation from...
Just as impressive, the stiffer bodyshell and linked suspension work reap results in all sorts of areas but nowhere more than body control and ride. The rather crude and binary nature of the GT86 in the payoff has been finessed to the point where economy of motion no longer results in a ride that squeaks the rubber seals in the door frames. The GR86 just feels planted, potent, pliant and pure of purpose.
Not a fan of the styling. The more bulbous look – presumably to be more like the GR Supra’s – is less exciting than before and, to drive, some of the GT86’s strong character and charm have been sacrificed. That said, measured by any metric you care to choose, the GR86 is a faster, fitter and more roundly rewarding steer, hence its second place finish in
