The 2025 Toyota GR86 is a wonderful throwback to the golden age of sports coupes. With an engaging back-to-basics driving experience and all the convenience you’d expect from a contemporary Toyota, this is a modern sports car for the driving purists.

3 Bold Highlights of the 2025 Toyota GR86

1. Classic Sports Powertrain

A 2.4-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder boxer engine is the beating heart of the nimble GR86. This pairs with a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with paddle shifters, or a 6-speed manual transmission for a truly old-school ride. Whichever transmission you prefer, you’ll enjoy a lively 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque through the GR86’s rear-wheel drive drivetrain.

This spirited output from the 4-cylinder engine sees the automatic GR86 able to leap from 0-60 mph in just 6.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 134 mph. The manual transmission GR86 is even zippier and more responsive, covering the 0-60 mph sprint in a mere 6.1 seconds and maxing out at 140 mph.

2. Race-Ready Design

The GR86 isn’t built like a daily commuter. The sleek body design reflects the exhilarating spirit of this sports coupe. The profile is aerodynamic and elegant, with the long hood and short rear deck immediately evoking images of the classic sports cars of the 1960s. The aggressive, racing-inspired body proportions are complemented by standard 17-inch alloy wheels, which add athleticism to the vehicle’s stance.

The vehicle is as light as possible, with near-perfect weight distribution for enhanced handling and a responsive drive. The unibody frame is a blend of lightweight aluminum and high-strength steel, providing the perfect platform for unparalleled performance. The black matrix front grille isn’t simply eye-catching: it’s functional. This striking front fascia incorporates air inlet ducts, helping to channel air around the vehicle for greater on-road stability.

3. Technologically Advanced Cockpit

The cabin is driver-centric and racetrack-ready. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster comes as standard, providing you with vital vehicle information at a glance. You can toggle between Normal, Sport, and Track Modes to get an optimized readout. Switch to Track Mode, and your digital cluster reanimates, providing you with a linear-style tachometer and larger shift lights to help you get your shifts just right and get the very most out of the GR86 as you put it through its paces.

A standard 8-inch touchscreen in the center console transforms the cabin into a fully connected cockpit, providing access to the GR86’s contemporary infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allow for seamless smartphone integration, letting you access your apps and enjoy your favorite music through the available 8-speaker audio system.
