All-new Toyota GR86 takes a bow

This is the excellent contract hire Toyota GR86 that is the coupe to replace the GT86.

Toyota says that the all-new offering retains the predecessor’s fun-to-drive characteristics and there's agile handling thanks to the low centre of gravity and lightweight.

This is the third model in the firm’s line up of GR sports cars and the GR86 sits alongside the impressive GR Yaris and the GR Supra.

The GR part of the car's name stands for Gazoo Racing which is Toyota's in-house tuning set-up.

The car’s power comes from a new 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine - a larger offering than the GT86’s 2.0-litre unit.

Toyota GR86 car lease range

However, it's for the handling of the new Toyota GR86 car lease range that will really attract attention.

The sports car has just been given its world debut and will go on sale in the UK later this year.

It has been designed and built with input from Subaru and will share the same engines and platform as the latest BRZ, which is currently not coming to the UK.

The full specification has yet to be revealed for the European versions, but we know there's a lot to look forward to.

That's because the Japanese version of the GR86 will see the engine producing 232 bhp and have torque of 250Nm.

New Toyota GR86

For those wanting lots of grip and performance, the new Toyota GR86 should deliver a 0 to 62 mph sprint time of 6.3 seconds.

That 1.1 seconds quicker than the predecessor.

The power is delivered using a six-speed manual box, though there's a six-speed automatic gearbox available as an option.

A limited-slip differential sees the power being delivered effectively to the rear wheels.

Dimensions for the new GR86

Toyota says the dimensions for the new GR86 are similar to the original GT86 which sold more than 200,000 models around the world after its 2012 launch.

When the GR86 does appear here, it's expected to be the segment’s lightest four-seater coupe.

Part of that is down to Toyota using aluminium extensively for the body panels and roof to save weight.

The body has also been made 50% stiffer for sharper steering and handling.

The new Toyota GR86 leasing range also has better aerodynamics than the GT86 and the new range will be a popular choice.
