One of the last new vehicles offered with a manual-transmission, rear-wheel drive, and a near 50:50 weight distribution, automotive purists will appreciate the performance and handling capabilities of the GR86. Designed to excel both on the road and the race track, the GR86 features performance-oriented features that compliment its high-performance engine and aerodynamic styling.

Performance
Upgraded Powertrain
All 2023 Toyota GR86 models come equipped with a naturally-aspirated 2.4L flat-four boxer engine that generates 228 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and a peak torque figure of 184 lb-ft at only 3,700 rpm! A welcome increase from the previous generation GR86’s 200 horsepower boxer engine, this upgraded powertrain features an innovative D-4S dual injection system and a 12.5:1 compression ratio that delivers maximum power.
Track Mode and Full-Off Mode
Put the GR86 into Track Mode and experience the maximum amount of power and excitement. Track Mode dials back the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system to help you maintain optimal levels of traction, while Full-Off Mode prevents the VSC from kicking in, letting you remain in full control of the vehicle.
Transmission Choices
A driver’s car through and through, owners have the choice of rowing their own gears with a six-speed manual transmission, or they can sit back and let the vehicle do all the heavy lifting with the available paddle-shifted six-speed automatic. Regardless of which transmission you choose, enjoy the handling and thrilling driving dynamics of GR86’s rear-wheel drivetrain.
