Toyota GT-86 Facelifted

Because this vehicle gained substantial interest in our country, we recon we would put it in the news. The 2017 Toyota GT86 will debut at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, before going on sale in autumn 2016.

We ought to agree, the front fascia was never the best feature of the car. The revised 2017 Toyota GT86 adopts more aggressive styling with a larger centre intake, re-configured LED front headlamps and turn signals, a new fog lamp bezel and revised bumper. The rear now features LED tail lamps and a new bumper design. And the car finally lost its Chinese replica looking cheap alloys. The new ones have a twisted spoke design, and are brilliant to look at.

The interior also got some enhancements- new Leather-Alcantara seat option with suede wrapped instrument panel is available along with optional silver stitching.

The already legendary dynamics of the Toyota GT86 have further been improved upon. A new suspension set-up has made the car easier to control and more entertaining. The American market will be specifically happy with the addition of 5 HP and lb-ft of torque in the existing 197HP and 151 lb-ft figures from the boxer FA20 motor.

Since its launch the Toyota GT86 has given shape to several Toyota motorsport activities. Toyota Motorsports GmbH (TMG) has developed two motorsport-specific variants: the GT86 CS-R3, a rear wheel drive rally car, and the GT86 CS-Cup, developed specifically for competing at the renowned Nürburgring Nordschleife.
