Toyota’s all-new GT 86 coupe will cost around £28,000 when it reaches the UK next summer, considerably more than the £22,000 price tag that had been expected.
its 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer engine produces 197bhp at 7000rpm and 151lb ft at 6600rpm. Top speed for the 1180kg front-engined coupe is likely to be around 155mph.
The GT 86 can be ordered with either a six-speed manual or six-speed auto gearbox, the latter being controlled via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. A limited-slip differential also features.
Toyota claims the GT 86’s dimensions of 4240mm in length and 1285mm in height (no width figure has been released) make it the most compact four-seater car in the world. It has an ultra-low centre of gravity, rated at just 475mm.
The powertrain and driving position have been set as low and as far back as possible to optimise balance, giving the car a 53/47 weight distribution. The GT 86 features MacPherson strut front suspension and rear double wishbone suspension, and will ride on 17in wheels.
