This Awesome Green Version of the Toyota 86 Is Coming to the U.S.
There is a new special-edition version of the Toyota 86 sports car for 2020 called the Hakone Edition.
It's finished in an attractive shade of British racing green that Toyota calls Hakone Green, which contrasts nicely with the bronze 17-inch wheels and the tan and black interior.
The Hakone Edition 86 will go on sale in fall 2019 as a 2020 model.
Just a few months ago, we gushed over a Japan-only special-edition Toyota 86 finished in a beautiful shade of British racing green-and now we're thrilled to report that there's a similar version of the rear-drive sports car destined for the U.S. It's a limited-production model called the 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition, and it features a color scheme nearly identical to that of the Japan-market British Green Limited model. Aside from the rich green exterior paint, it gets a black rear spoiler and bronze 17-inch wheels that make for a delectable-looking combo, if you ask us.
Toyota says that both the car itself and the color-Hakone Green-are named after the famously twisty Hakone Turnpike near Tokyo. Inside, the highlights include seats wrapped in tan leather and black faux suede, tan and black stitching throughout the cabin, and an embroidered "Toyota 86" logo on the dash and the embossed floor mats. Toyota even throws in a pair of tan leather key pouches and a folio cover.
There's nothing to differentiate the Hakone Edition mechanically. It comes with the same 2.0-liter boxer four as the standard car, paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Because this edition amounts to little more than an appearance package, we assume it won't cost too much more than the 86's base GT trim level, which starts at $29,565.
Toyota says the Hakone Edition will be limited but won't say how many units are coming to the U.S. at this point. Production starts this fall.
