Toyota has given the GR86 a makeover for the 2024 model year in Japan. The rear-wheel-drive sports coupe now comes with a special edition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original AE86. This limited-edition variant is available with a manual or automatic transmission and features a retro-inspired design with various updates inside and out. It is based on the RZ trim and is offered in white or red with black stripes, giving it a distinct Initial D vibe.
The special edition GR86 comes equipped with 18-inch wheels, finished in a dark gray metallic color, and fitted with 215/40 R18 tires. Toyota has also added a black finish to the side mirror caps and a prominent trunk lid spoiler to create a visual contrast with the body paint. Inside the car, there is a black and red theme, accompanied by a “Since 1983 40th” logo on the door cards, which complements the exterior decal.
