The Toyota GR86 is a modern enthusiast coupe that proves driving enjoyment does not need supercar money. Developed with Subaru and sharpened by Toyota Gazoo Racing, it keeps the classic sports car formula alive with a front mounted 2.4 litre boxer engine, rear wheel drive, a low centre of gravity, and the choice of a slick manual or automatic transmission. Compared with the original 86, the GR86 gains extra torque, stronger mid range response, improved chassis rigidity, and styling that feels purposeful without losing its compact, lightweight character. For owners shopping at Automotive Superstore, it is a brilliant platform for quality tyres, brake upgrades, suspension components, performance fluids, filters, exhaust parts, detailing products, and everyday maintenance essentials.

The GR86 also carries cultural weight. Its name links back to the legendary AE86 Corolla, a humble rear drive Toyota that became an icon of drifting, touge driving, and Japanese pop culture through motorsport and the Initial D manga and anime series. Like its spiritual predecessor, the GR86 is loved because it rewards skill, balance, and driver involvement rather than relying only on horsepower. It is a favourite at track days, club sprints, and weekend drives, yet remains usable as a daily coupe. Whether you are maintaining a stock example, preparing for spirited road use, or building a sharper track package, the Toyota GR86 responds beautifully to carefully chosen parts and accessories.
