After months of speculation, Toyota has finally confirmed that a TRD tuned version of the Toyota GT86 will be sold in the UK.

The Toyota GT86 has proved a huge hit among car enthusiasts since its launch last year. The new Toyota GT86 TRD will build upon that with a series of subtle modifications aimed at improving the car’s looks, and its suspension.

Just 250 examples of the GT86 TRD will be available, each equipped with design and performance features from TRD (Toyota Racing Development), one of the world’s most accomplished and successful after market engineering businesses.

On sale from March 1st, the GT86 TRD will be available with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox and in a choice of two colours: Pearl White and GT86 Black. On the road prices are £31,495 for the manual and £32,995 for the auto.

The TRD equipment package includes 18-inch cast TF6 alloys, deep front and side skirts, a rear bumper spoiler and a fast-response quad-exhaust system with a rear diffuser to increase stability. A TRD-branded radiator cap and fuel filler cover are also included, as well as a new TRD gear shift lever.

Acceleration and maximum speed are unchanged at 7.7 seconds for 0-62mph and 140mph for the manual and 8.4 seconds and 130mph for the automatic. There are slight changes in fuel consumption and emissions: 192g/km and 34.9mpg for the manual and 181g/km and 36.2mpg for the automatic (all figures official combined cycle).

GT86 is the first UK Toyota for which official TRD parts have been used to create a specific production model grade.

AWESOME...but once again in the U.S. we get the short end of the stick... lol

Sargy · 02-08-2013, 09:29 AM

Thats Sick. I would cry if It landed here. Oh well.

chulooz · 02-08-2013, 09:33 AM

Just some trims and rims, no biggie. Not a bad look with the retro wheels.

Tt3Sheppard · 02-08-2013, 09:36 AM

That and the posting about the $20k RWD toyota 5door hatchback rumor...

NemesisPrime909 · 02-08-2013, 11:03 AM

of course, love for UK none for US.

Sport-Tech · 02-08-2013, 11:16 AM

Love the wheels, but that quad-pipe and diffuser combo looks silly on a car with no more power than the Kia Forte "station wagon" with the 1.6T. It shouldn't try to look like a Corvette. It's called "overcompensation".

And the new lower front end clip - no. Just no.

beesmiff07 · 02-08-2013, 11:25 AM

Not worth 50k for...can make one cheaper then that

switchlanez · 02-08-2013, 11:26 AM

So the price of the standard UKDM GT 86 converted to US currency is around $39.5k USD and the TRD manual is around $49.8k USD. So $10.3k more for the TRD version and it doesn't appear to have the forged wheels, BBK, nor revised engine. The FR-S sells for $15k less than a standard GT 86 so let's say a TRD equivalent in the US would cost roughly $34.8k.

STI offers equivalent parts with similar prices compared to TRD so a BRZ STI version might cost around the same. I wonder if a comparably equipped BRZ STI for roughly $34.8k would be feasible in the US market.

tomato86 · 02-08-2013, 11:27 AM

lol we don't even get HID's and LED's and the UK gets this. U.S. always gets the worst cars. Just look at that awful Mugen Civic Si we got, while the rest of the world enjoyed a Civic Type R. Evo X while others get FQ400. NSX Type R, Skylines, R35 Egoist, etc. Man oh man...

Saab2Frs · 02-08-2013, 11:30 AM

Cut the lights boys, it's boner time.

thts what i was thinking...i just looked at the WRX and compared its price jump to STI....If I'm gonna pay more then ill need a faster engine

tamsau · 02-08-2013, 11:35 AM

nice.

MannyO · 02-08-2013, 11:56 AM

Meh. From the back, the whole TRD theme is ruined by the lack of a TRD duckbill.

Oh and at the very least, the photographer (or whoever) could've taken an extra minute to clean the mud off of the side skirts and rear bumper...especially on a white car.
smh -_-
