Built by Passion
The 86 is designed to bring back the sheer exhilaration of sports car driving. It has been developed by and for people with a genuine passion for sports cars.
Called the 86 partly in tribute to its predecessor, the AE86, and partly to signify its 86mm x 86mm bore and stroke.
86 Identity
The 86 is the latest in a long line of exciting sports cars from Toyota. It builds on Toyota's heritage of rear-wheel drive, front-engine sports cars dating back to 1965 with the Sports 800. This was followed by other track-bred cars including the 2000GT, which was generally accepted as Japan's first 'supercar' and the AE86 - the car that is still a favourite with enthusiasts today.
Track-Bred Performance
The 86 shares DNA with some of the most exciting track-proven sports car ever made and it was tested on track at key stages of its development. Professional drivers have been involved from its inception helping with the development of key aspects of the car even down to the steering wheel design.
The car's performance was tested on gruelling tracks such as Fuji Speedway and Shibets in Japan and the Nürburgring in Germany where adverse cambers have been the downfall of many a lesser chassis.
Purpose Built Exterior
The 86 has an ultra-low stance. It's modern, streamlined shape features timeless aspects of the 2000GT.
At the front, the flat forward sloping bonnet signals the presence of the horizontally-opposed Boxer engine beneath, while at the rear, the raised rear diffuser aids aerodynamic performance and agility.
Cockpit Interior
The driver cockpit in the 86 is a clutter-free space laid out so that instruments and controls are exactly where you need them to be and designed so that nothing gets in the way of driving.
Safety Briefing
The 86 features a wide range of advanced safety features. It is built on an extremely rigid frame featuring high grade tensile steel and has crumple zones front and rear. It comes with 7 SRS airbags , Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC) , as well as an advanced braking package with Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) , Electric Brakeforce Distribution ( EBD ), and Brake Assist (BA) .
86 Pit Garage
The 86 has been tested on tough test tracks like the Nürburgring to make sure it offers the highest levels of reliability and performance in all kinds of conditions. And with Toyota Service Advantage on your side, you know your 86 will be serviced by Toyota trained technicians who know your vehicle inside out.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
System that ensures control in cornering situations the way ABS does under braking and TRC does under acceleration. The VSC system utilises electronic sensors in conjunction with the ABS and TRC hardware to help control any potential understeer or oversteer situations. Understeer is when the vehicle loses front-wheel traction and wants to push forward nose first. Oversteer is when the rear wheels lose traction and the tail begins to slide.
Traction Control (TRC)
System designed to maximise safety when accelerating on slippery road surfaces or when the available grip differs from one side of the vehicle to the other (such as when two wheels are on a gravel or grass verge). Operated by controlling the throttle and/or applying the brakes to any wheel that is slipping. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
ABS (Anti-Skid Braking System)
Modern electronics and a hydraulic actuator compares and adjusts wheel speeds when braking to prevent wheel lock-up and hence a potential skid.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is a system that maximises braking efficiency. It senses the weight distribution of the vehicle and redistributes the braking to each wheel so that the wheels with most weight on them receive the most brakeforce.
Brake Assist (BA)
A system designed to assist the driver in emergency braking, where the driver cannot apply the high pedal force required to obtain the shortest possible braking distance. It supplements the braking power applied if the driver has not pushed hard enough on the brake pedal in an emergency braking situation - working in conjunction with ABS.
