Limited edition Toyota 86 announced

Toyota is set to release an upgraded version of its lightweight and driver-focused 86, with a limited run of 60 headed to Australia.

All painted In Solar Orange (as pictured), the limited edition 86s will feature better suspension and bigger brakes from Brembo.

The limited 86’s ventilated disk brakes are a step over the standard ones fitted to the top-model GTS.

The extra stopping power is coupled with specially tuned Sachs performance dampers, which Toyota says “adds to the lightweight sports car’s renowned responsiveness and stability”.

Throughout the interior, along the seats and across the dash and console, are orange stitched accents, providing contrast and a ‘racier’ feel to the car.

The limited-edition performance package is priced at $41,490 – an increase of $4,550 with the premium paint.
