Left hand drive GT86 exist? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

General question...

Obviously the JDM and Aussie versions will be RHD...

Is there a left hand drive version of the Toyota GT 86 available elsewhere?

Central or South America perhaps?

In Dubai its LHD 86. www.toyota.ae

Max Schnell · 07-13-2012, 07:43 AM

Alot of Europe too. Germany, Sweden, etc.

In all of the Middle east.

Then that settles it. I'm moving to Dubai.

If you're moving anywhere, it should be Germany, no speed limits on some highways, a high percentage of people who actually know how to drive, and generally well maintained roads.

Everywhere in Europe apart from the UK and Ireland are LHD too.

K. Forget Dubai. Germany makes way more sense!!

The real question is will we be able to get the parts from the LHD version, like push start, etc.

I'm pretty sure i saw a site somewhere already offering all the parts from the 86. Just don't remember where.

You get used to it. I spent 6 months there. So much money floating around that place its sickening.

Here's mine

Left hand drive... although here it's just called a Toyota 86, not GT86.

Prefer to think of it as more inspiring than sickening

Just gotta use some smarts to find ways to get some of that money for yourself. Then use money to buy toys. Then enjoy the toys. Makes up for the heat.

As for the weather... it's stupid hot for about 4 months of the year. Rest of the time it's beautiful weather. We just stay indoors for those 4 months like you possibly would in the winter. Our winter is when we go outdoors more and enjoy the beaches and desert and stuff.

Very glad to have the Toyota air conditioning right now though! The 86 pumps some REALLY cold air out the dashboard.
