The TRUENO Edition also comes with an upgraded Performance Package, including SACHS Dampers and Brembo Brakes, which is now available as standard on the TRUENO Edition and as an upgrade for other GR86 models.

The GR86 TRUENO Edition, based on the Premium grade, will be produced in both manual and automatic transmission models, with only 860 units available in the US market. It will feature a two-tone look with a black wrapped hood, black TRUENO Edition side panel graphic, and black painted duckbill spoiler. The TRUENO Edition badge on the front bumper lip and rear decklid pays tribute to the 1980s model that inspired its design. Other distinctive touches include black metallic finished 18-inch, 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, black door handles, and mirror caps.

Inside the special edition, the GR86 TRUENO Edition will have Ultrasuede® sport seats with attention-grabbing red leather trim, a red-stitched shift boot, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Furthermore, manual transmission equipped models of the GR86 will now come standard with an Active Safety Suite.
