Yahoo Autos 2023 Toyota GR86 Special Edition Is Made for David S. Pumpkins
The Toyota GR86 adds a Special Edition model for 2023.
Toyota intends to limit production of the GR86 Special Edition to 860 units.
The Special Edition maintains the same 228-hp boxer-four as its lesser kin.
Toyota’s bringing a GR86 fit for David S. Pumpkins to its model line for 2023. Dubbed the Special Edition, this low-volume GR86 model—just 860 are earmarked for production—wears a coat of orange paint (or Solar Shift in Toyota parlance) that’s complemented by black decor on its C-pillars, a black trunk-mounted lip spoiler, and a set of matte black 18-inch wheels.
Toyota bases the GR86 Special Edition on the coupe’s high-end Premium trim, which includes the likes of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4 rubber, heated front seats, and an eight-speaker audio system. This is on top of items such as a dual-zone automatic climate control system and 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment setup that come standard across the GR86 model line.
Alas, the GR86 Special Edition brings no additional performance to the 228-hp 2.4-liter flat-four of its lesser siblings. That said, Toyota sees fit to equip this orange two-door with a cat-back exhaust system—replete with black chrome tips—that ought to improve the sound coming from this GR86’s tailpipes.
Though Toyota’s yet to release pricing for the 2023 GR86 Special Edition, the automaker’s likely to charge a few thousand dollars more for this model relative to its Premium counterpart, which currently stickers for $31,325. Any questions?
