2023 Toyota GR 86
For 2023, Toyota is our top pick for an affordable sports vehicle. Instead, a GR86 Special Edition has been added. The Special Edition has matte-black 18-inch wheels, a bratty cat-back performance exhaust with black chrome ends, and distinctive Solar Shift orange paint in addition to GR86 Premium components. Only 860 copies of the GR86 Special Edition will be produced. I’m curious how they got at that figure. The Toyota GR86 would probably take home the prize for the Most Improved Sports Car if we handed out such a prize. The second edition of this incredibly exciting rear-wheel-drive coupe debuted in 2022, and it fixed the main problem we had with the first one: a weak engine. The second time around, a 228-hp flat-four with lots of mid-range power provides the power, and while a six-speed manual transmission is standard (and the only option), a six-speed automatic is also offered. We won’t be telling you to choose it, that’s for sure.
The headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation, the largest manufacturer in the world, is located in Toyota City, Japan.
