Brake pads, new stuff we knew was coming out, yellow stitching, and off the shelf parts. Nothing to really get excited about.

Still Japan only at this point anyway.

Nothing new here to see.....

Toyota has been offering the Yuzu GT86 in other parts of the world for sometime now.

GT86 Giallo 1 of 86.

Looks like Nur spec aero with really nice black interior accents instead of all the silver. You COULD do yellow seat belts tho!

SkAsphalt 07-13-2015 11:18 AM

It is quite lovely

CockyEngineer 07-13-2015 11:47 AM

Really like those wheels and wing.

funwheeldrive 07-13-2015 11:49 AM

The interior looks way better with the yellow stitching compared the the RS 1.0 with its red stitching and grey seat inserts.

Beautiful...

Tada sitting in office smoking a cigar: So where's my special edition?


Toyota employee: It's complete Tada San! We added new suspension as well as engine tuning to eliminate torque dip!


Tada: *slowly approaches employee and blows smoke in his face*....the fuck did you say?


Toyota employee: New suspension and engine tun-


Tada: *backhands employee* DID I ASK YOU TO DO THAT??


Toyota employee: *sobbing* b-but Tada San! The reviews have highlighted the engine as a weak-


Tada: *another backhand* I. Don't. Care. Now go back in there and slap on that body kit and yellow paint like I told you to! Next time you pull son shit like that again, I'll put my size 10 Jordan's up your ass!!

Replace Tada with 'Marketing VP' and you may have a point.

Looks good except why would you let your passenger have all the driving controls?

Could jump start production cease rumors by stating Toyota released the black limited AE86 as a send off to that line before the E92 came out....but I won't
Wait, shit!

Well since this is about the 200th "special" for the Japan market I don't think there is any worry just yet.

weederr33 07-13-2015 03:30 PM

So... why have there been so many special additions? Is toyota pulling a honda by refreshing the GT86 ever 6 months? My brain can't compute their logic.... :iono:

OldSkoolToys 07-13-2015 04:26 PM

Marketing and sales. Keeps the car in the news and spurs new sales / trades.

xtral 07-13-2015 11:44 PM

is there a way to remove the spoiler ?

Nope, it is held down with gorilla glue and titanium bolts.

WesleyG 07-14-2015 05:37 AM

We got these her in SA, only 86 of them, but not yellow, came in either red or white ( dont know the colour codes)

and had horribly half red and black interior, I do love the kit but.

Demandred7 07-14-2015 09:13 AM

Looks better than the Release Series we ended up with.

drewza78 07-14-2015 07:31 PM

Can you get the Aero-kit in the USA on the FR-S?


We get it here in Aus, but not those wheels - it comes with the stock 17's. The larger wheels are definitely an improvement, but can't get them here. I like the kit but the spoiler is overkill - and can't be deleted when you order, you can only get it as a whole kit..


I do like the yellow though...

Because their marketing reads this forum and knows that a large part of the membership here will herniate themselves to get the latest shiny, just like an iPhone.
