- [Voiceover] Toyota GR86 returns for 2023
with its signature formula of track-ready performance,
balanced everyday driving dynamics,
and motorsport-inspired design, and adds into the mix
an all-new 10th Anniversary Special Edition
to round out the lineup.
But to really understand
why this latest generation continues to stand out,
you have to start with the heart of GR86,
its punchy powerplant.
(whooshing music)
(gentle upbeat music)
GR86 offers thrilling power across its three-grade lineup
thanks to its 2.4-liter four-cylinder boxer engine
with 228 hp and 184 pound feet of torque,
which peaks at just 3700 rpm.
This means stick-to-your seat acceleration
that comes on quick whether running everyday errands
or pulling out of a hairpin corner at the local track.
This power is controlled with either a short-throw six-speed
close-ratio manual transmission
or a six-speed Electronically Controlled
automatic Transmission with paddle shifters.
With either transmission, a Torsen limited-slip differential
distributes the output to the wheels,
which can be great for maximizing traction.
When you add this power
to GR86's weight-reducing aluminum body panels and roof,
and high-strength steel components,
you have a vehicle that's designed
from every angle to perform.
This feeling of planted performance is further reinforced
by the boxer engine's low placement
helping to improve handling
through a lower center of gravity,
not to mention the GR circuit-tuned coil springs,
shock absorbers, iron front knuckles,
and rear suspension-member-mounted stabilizer bar.
(upbeat music)
GR86 cuts through the crowd with its sporty,
aerodynamic profile and sharp visual styling
that starts with its black G-mesh grille
and aggressive front fenders with air vents accented
in black trim, which help channel air around the car
for more driving stability and turning performance.
And for 2023,
GR86's all-new 10th Anniversary Special Edition grade
is available in eye-catching Solar Shift orange.
Special Edition or not, every GR86 has standard LED lighting
that adds a stylish edge to GR86's overall design
while Premium steps things up
with an Adaptive Front-Lighting System.
Plus, black heated power outside mirrors
bring extra convenience and some visual contrast,
while a color-keyed roof,
and matching duckbill rear spoiler on Premium,
further tie it all together.
This visual presence is reinforced by GR86's sporty 17-inch
machined-finish alloy wheels,
which is stepped up further with Premium's 18-inch
matte-black-painted alloy wheels,
and dual chrome-tipped exhaust.
Meanwhile, the 10th Anniversary Special Edition
features special forged 18-inch matte-black-painted
GR alloy wheels, to complement its GR Catback Exhaust
with black chrome tips.
This is only half of the story.
The other half of the GR86 driving experience
happens inside.

GR86 features a driver-focused interior
that starts with sport front bucket seats
that are accented with black side bolsters
and fabric with a GR-embossed design.
Once strapped in, it's hard to miss the dashboard
with the GR digital gauge cluster,
while silver toggle switches help add an extra touch
of race-ready style to the center console.
Meanwhile, the GR leather-trimmed telescopic steering wheel
with contrast stitching highlights GR86's signature blend
of stylish form and function,
as further showcased with its leather-wrapped gearshift boot
and parking brake handle cover with contrast stitching.
Additionally, Premium adds aluminum sport pedals
and footrest for refinement and style.
And don't overlook GR86's rear cargo space.
With over six cubic feet of trunk storage,
there's plenty of room for a set of track tires,
tools, or anything else needed for a track day.
And after a few hot laps,
cabin comfort is still well within reach
thanks to dual-zone automatic climate control.

GR86's streamlined cabin keeps the interior experience
focused with a fully digital instrument display
with configurable gauge cluster
that offers up Normal, Sport, and Track modes.
And when it comes to Audio Multimedia,
the eight-inch touchscreen includes standard compatibility
for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to Apple Music,
Maps, Messages, and other favorite apps from your iPhone.
In addition, Android Auto compatibility
makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices.
Plus, there's a standard three-month SiriusXM Platinum Plan
trial subscription that includes over 165 channels
available in-cabin and even more on the SXM mobile app
making it easier than ever to enjoy not just ad-free music,
but also sports, comedy, and more.
Six speakers bring all this content into high fidelity,
while an available eight-speaker sound system
seriously pumps up the volume and audio quality.
GR86 also features Connected Services,
including one-year trials to Safety Connect
and Service Connect, as well as Remote Connect
for automatic transmission models.
Finally, the multi-function
in-key remote keyless entry system makes it easy to lock
and unlock GR86 from the palm of the driver's hand.
This tech sophistication doesn't stop at convenience,
it's also a crucial component of GR86's safety story.
(gentle music)
For GR86, safety starts with a driver
and front passenger Advanced Airbag System,
with front seat mounted side airbags,
side curtain airbags, and driver's knee airbags.
GR86 Active Safety Suite comes standard
on automatic transmission models
and includes a number of intelligent safety features,
including a Pre-Collision Braking System,
Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Adaptive Cruise Control,
Lead Vehicle Start Alert,
Lane Departure Warning with Sway Warning,
and Automatic High Beams.
In addition, available Blind Spot Detection
with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert warns
when a vehicle in the next lane enters GR86's blind spot,
and when in reverse,
helps detect vehicles approaching from either side,
warning with side mirror indicators and a warning tone.
(whooshing music)
Built on the track, for the track, and tested and proven
by master drivers like Morizo, Akio Toyoda's alter ego,
GR86 is an enthusiast's dream come true.
It's also backed by ToyotaCare,
which covers normal factory scheduled service
for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first,
and 24-hour Roadside Assistance
for two years and unlimited mileage.
With racing-inspired excitement
in an incredible modern package,
GR86 remains a true stand-out in its segment.
