TRD SPECIAL EDITION: A LIMITED SERIES
The veteran Toyota GT86 is still alive thanks in large part to the introduction of special editions, limited series and one or another little novelty that allow to transmit a more updated image. However, the fact is that the years already weigh you down and that is why the information that points to the beginning of the development work of the new generation of the GT86 are not surprising.A clear example of the strategy that Toyota is following to keep the GT86 alive came in the United States, where the new Toyota GT86 TRD Special Edition was presented, a limited edition that, according to the brand, was created for the most purist drivers. It features a differentiated exterior, specific interior finishes, as well as more complete equipment.



Production of the new Toyota GT86 TRD Special Edition will be limited to only 1,418 units. The exterior stands out for the body color in Raven Black and some reasons for a certain retro look in three shades. To this we must add the TRD body kit, consisting of new bumpers, side skirts, airfoil and rear diffuser. Stainless steel TRD exhaust outlets have also been installed.


The alloy wheels, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, show the high-performance Brembo brakes. Standard comes equipped with LED technology headlights, fog lights also in LED, in addition to external electric mirrors and heated.


In relation to the interior of the Toyota GT86 TRD Special Edition, what first draws attention is the dark and sporty environment achieved by the Japanese brand. The details and red stitching allow a very interesting contrast with the color of the upholstery as well as the trimmings. The acronyms TRD are present in numerous places, such as the panel.


Mechanically there is no news, so this limited edition of the Toyota GT86 is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine with 208 hp associated with a six-speed manual transmission. It will also be offered with an automatic transmission, also of six ratios, but generating a little less power, only 203 hp.


For those who live in the United States and are interested in purchasing one of the units of the Toyota GT86 TRD Special Edition, its commercialization will begin next August. The starting price is $ 32,420 for the manual transmission version. The automatic option will be a bit more expensive.
