Watch the Toyota GT86 post a more than reasonably fast time round Dunsfold

1. Rear-wheel drive

The GT86’s pitch-perfect performance and handling are both launched from the rear wheels. 

2. Optimal weight distribution

With the GT86’s optimised weight distribution of 53:47, you can make light work of any apex that comes your way, while still having bags of fun. 

3. Low centre of gravity

The GT86’s weight distribution goes hand-in-hand with its low centre of gravity. There’s plenty of body above the waterline, giving you a more stable and better-handling package. 

4. 197bhp, 2.0L engine 

The GT86’s engine develops just enough power to feel fun and manageable in equal measure. It’s a perfect match for the chassis, and that’s what makes it such a pure driver’s car. 

5. Skinny tyres

Toyota’s less-is-more approach doesn’t end with the engine. Too wide a tyre can mean too much grip, but the GT86’s narrow tyres allow confident drivers to override the traction control system for even more fun. 

6. Lightweight body

The GT86’s race pedigree ensures that its body shell is feather-light, making it all the more efficient. 

7. Driver-focused 

How the car feels from the driver’s seat is everything, and the GT86’s low ride height contributes to an ideal driving position, designed for maximum visibility and easy reach of all the controls. 

8. Nimble, responsive steering

You get seamless feedback through the perfectly weighted steering, with a steering wheel optimised for thickness and diameter.

9. Sports gearbox

Toyota’s manual gearbox is an old-school choice that reinforces the car’s driver-centric approach. It’s ultra-positive, with a short throw and stubby lever.

10. Strong brakes

The GT86’s brakes are up to the task – strong, fade-free and with just the right amount of feel and give.
