"At the end of it we all wandered around looking a bit stunned. We knew from its on-paper specification that the GT86 had the raw material to be special, but just how special it was came as a complete surprise. Perhaps it was because we expected so little from a Toyota, or maybe we didn’t expect a mass-produced car from any mainstream manufacturer with less than 200bhp to be so enjoyable; I don’t know. What I do know is the GT86 was a complete revelation, one of those cars you’re lucky to find once a year in this job that completely overwhelms your expectation of it. It arrives here in June and, knowing what I know now, it is one of the cars I am most looking forward to driving this year."
