The heart and soul of the 2025 Toyota GR86 can be summed up in a single word: performance. A beefy engine, sport-tuned suspension, and playful driving dynamics make it a joy to drive. With its attractive Hakone special edition available only in limited numbers, it’s also a vehicle to jump on sooner than later.

Power, Personified
The beating heart of the GR86 is a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder boxer engine. The power plant makes 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, offering drivers solid thrills as the pedal comes closer to the floor. Old-school driving enthusiasts will get plenty of grins with the short-throw, six-speed manual transmission. Those who prefer automatics are treated to a 6-speed AT with Dynamic Rev Management equipped with paddle shifters for heightened fun.
Performance data is projected via a 7-inch customizable digital gauge cluster, letting drivers see everything from g-forces to shift suggestions at a glance. A 1-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association comes included with the GR86, including one free High-Performance Driving Experience (HDPE) for an unforgettable day at the track.
Standout Style
Everything from the GR86’s characteristic long hood to its available duckbill rear spoiler is designed to turn heads. Auto-leveling projector LEDs offer stylish and functional lighting for night driving. The chrome-tipped, dual cat-back exhaust offers plenty of growl and helps ensure the GR86 turns heads. Inside, attractive contrast stitching and leather trim on the gearshift and steering wheel make it just as attractive to touch as to look at.
Racing Dynamics
The GR86 is available exclusively in a rear-wheel drive configuration, echoing the classic muscle dynamics of its lineage. The standard Vehicle Stability Control can be partially or fully disengaged to enable precisely tuned control over driving dynamics. The available SACHS performance dampers help improve body roll and maximize control in the corners. Available Brembo brakes add both style and stopping power for maximum control.
The GR86 uses lightweight materials to keep weight down, clocking in with a curb weight of only a hair over 2,800 pounds. The engine is slung low to keep the center of gravity down, and front-fender air vents help channel air around the car to improve aerodynamics and airflow in hard turns. The result is a vehicle that is responsive and powerful.
The Peace of the Forest
The 2025 model year of the GR86 adds a new trim level: the Hakone Edition. Inspired by the Hakone Forest, this limited run includes a lush green paint job and matte bronze 18-inch wheels. Inside, it features a premium tan Ultrasuede interior, trimmed with leather. With a production run of only 860 units, the Hakone model is sure to sell out almost as quickly as the GR86 hurtles around the track.
The GR86 is the embodiment of two-door fun, and it can only be had at your Toyota dealer. Test drive one today at Woodrum Toyota of Macomb in Macomb, IL.
