Toyota Gr 86 Drift Car

We spent a day throwing a brand-new Toyota GR86 around sideways. The best part, Formula Drift pros imparted some skills, and you can experience it for yourself as well. Although the Toyota GR86 was developed with the Subaru BRZ to be a well-balanced momentum car, there are subtle differences in the suspension tuning.

This is where the GR86 starts to become the perfect drift car from the factory. On paper, it seems rather subtle, but on track the specs come into better focus. The GR link-up is exciting news for drifting, and with the GT86 already proving itself as an incredible platform for the sport, we're feeling confident that Gazoo Racing's additions could make this car even more sporty, dynamic, and refined than ever.

Hi everyone! Introducing myself and my project here to this forum as I have always wanted to post a build thread. I feel as if I can share my experiences with my GR and hopefully receive some input also! Im a 29yo from Australia, building a 2024 GR86 as a drift / track car. Bought crashed from.

Toyota's GR86 is set to be one of the stars of the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon, thanks in part to VeilSide and its new widebody kit. The Toyota GR86 has some big shoes to fill given it comes from the same front-engined rear-wheel-drive bloodline as its GT86 and AE86 forebears, but this epic video released by Toyota Gazoo Racing. Toyota is revamping its Gazoo Racing (GR) lineup for 2024, and the GR86 gets major upgrades plus a new limited edition trim.

Known as the GR86 Trueno Edition, Toyota is honoring its AE86 Corolla. TOYOTA vehicles that bear the "86" code are legends in the making and it all began with Japanese race car driver Keiichi Tsuchiya and his AE86 Sprinter Trueno. While not exactly winning races with the car, Tsuchiya did popularise a crowd-pulling technique that would eventually earn himself the title of "Drift King".

The Toyota GR 86 is a car that's begging to be driven sideways. Its lightweight chassis, rear-wheel drive layout, and naturally aspirated boxer engine make it an ideal platform for learning how to drift. But mastering the art of drifting requires more than just throwing the car into a corner and hoping for the best.

There is no shortage of critical acclaim for the Toyota GR86 sports car. The most recent iteration of Toyota's collaboration with Subaru sees a redesign of the styling and a bump up in both engine displacement and power. What's not to love about a rear-wheel drive sports car with over 200 horsepower? If you aren't convinced, perhaps a professional Formula Drift driver can clarify.
