New 2023 Toyota GR86 – Coupe Sports Car. The new GR86 (combined fuel consumption according to WLTP 8.8 – 8.7 l/100 km, combined CO 2 emissions according to WLTP 200 – 198 g/km), Toyota is presenting its third model from the GAZOO Racing family that is offered worldwide . Together with the GR Supra and the GR Yaris, the GR86 forms a fascinating trio of thoroughbred sports cars.
New 2023 Toyota GR86 – Coupe Sports Car
The extensive experience of the factory team TOYOTA GAZOO Racing flowed directly into its development, whose diverse commitment in the top classes of international motorsport is crowned by numerous victories and championship titles.
The new coupe marks the entry into Toyota’s GR model range and gives a wider audience access to sporty handling and performance to match. As a logical further development of the GT86The predecessor mentioned, with which Toyota has once again underlined its commitment to sports car construction, the new GR86 is also characterized by the classic configuration of front engine and rear-wheel drive.
The engine is still a high-revving four-cylinder boxer, which thanks to a larger displacement can offer a significant increase in output and torque. Further technical modifications to the engine and transmission ensure that this additional potential is reflected in equally powerful acceleration across the entire rev range.
For even sharper handling and a generally more direct response, reducing the curb weight and further lowering the center of gravity enjoyed top priority in vehicle development. An increased proportion of aluminum and other light, but at the same time very stable materials as well as targeted reinforcements of the frame led to an overall higher torsional rigidity of the self-supporting body.
The chassis also received extensive fine-tuning, which optimized self-steering behavior. Together with their colleagues from the motorsport department, the designers have also developed new aerodynamic components for the GR86.
POWERTRAIN
The boxer engine of the predecessor GT86, enlarged to 2.4 liters displacement, starts in the new GR86 with more power, higher torque and faster acceleration 172 kW/235 hp at 7,000 rpm, 250 Nm at 3,700 rpm and 0 – 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds for the model with 6-speed manual transmission Naturally aspirated engine shines with direct response across the entire speed range In addition to a 6-speed manual transmission, an automatic is also available as an option.
Both have been revised and enable even more powerful acceleration (Fuel consumption combined according to WLTP 8.8 – 8.7 l/100 km, CO 2 emissions combined according to WLTP 200 – 198 g/km). CREDIT: https://youtu.be/qaRunWkSLbk
