Performance and Handling that Excites
Under the hood, the GR86 Yuzu Edition is powered by the same powerful 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine provides a responsive and exhilarating driving experience, whether you opt for the 6-speed manual transmission or the automatic version. The GR86 continues to offer Torsen® limited-slip rear differential, ensuring top-notch traction during cornering.
Toyota has equipped the Yuzu Edition with Brembo® Brakes and SACHS Dampers as part of the Performance Package, further boosting the car’s agility. These performance-enhancing features ensure the GR86 remains true to its roots as a lightweight, fun-to-drive sports car. Brembo’s red-painted brake calipers and SACHS dampers contribute to both improved stability and sharper handling.
Striking Looks with Special Edition Features
The GR86 Yuzu Edition features Yuzu Yellow paint, which gives the car a fresh, eye-catching look. Complementing this bold exterior color are matte-black wheels and various other black accents throughout the vehicle. Inside, the car sports black Ultrasuede®-trimmed seats, highlighted with yellow perforations and stitching to match the vibrant exterior.
For those looking to elevate the Yuzu Edition even further, accessories like a cat-back exhaust and a body kit are available, allowing owners to personalize their car to match their unique tastes.
A True Sports Car Experience
The GR86 has been engineered with pure driving pleasure in mind. Toyota’s commitment to creating a lightweight sports car is evident in the GR86’s design, which weighs in at just 2,811 pounds (manual) or 2,851 pounds (automatic). This lightweight body, combined with the responsive 2.4L engine, ensures a dynamic driving experience. The car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 6.1 seconds (manual) and 6.6 seconds (automatic).

Toyota has designed the interior to complement the car’s bold exterior. The driver-focused cockpit features a digital instrument panel, push-button start, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls. For added comfort, the Premium trim adds Ultrasuede®- and leather-trimmed seats, and six-way adjustable front seats with heating.
The car also features an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system and a six-speaker audio system as standard, with an eight-speaker system on the Yuzu Edition and Premium grades.
