The brand-new 2024 Toyota GR86 TRUENO limited edition was introduced recently, and enthusiasts are already very excited. It represents an even more dynamic, even more impressive version of what is already one of the sportiest and most agile coupes on the market, and it also represents the engineering prowess of Toyota engineers. There are very few cars that can deliver the blend of styling, agility, and driving pleasure the new GR86 can, and the TRUENO edition takes things even further. Based on an iconic Toyota model from the 1980s, the limited-edition TRUENO really shines. Here are five key aspects of this exciting, exclusive model that you need to know about:
- Exclusive and Limited Availability
The GR86 TRUENO Edition will be available exclusively with a manual transmission, ensuring an immersive and engaging driving experience. With only 50 units available in Canada, the TRUENO Edition is set to be a highly sought-after collector's item. Each model will come with a number plate on the driver's side dash to denote its rarity, alongside a TRUENO Edition badge on the bumper and rear decklid, paying tribute to the 1980s model that inspired it.
- Striking Two-Tone Design and Luxurious Interior
This special edition model will feature a stunning two-tone look, available in a choice of Halo and black or Track Red and black. Inside, the TRUENO Edition will boast Ultrasuede® sport seats with red leather accents, a red-stitched shift boot, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel for a high-quality, sporty feel. Additionally, it will feature an 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, alongside an eight-speaker audio system for an immersive entertainment experience.
- High-Performance Package
The TRUENO Edition comes standard with a GR86 Performance Package, consisting of ZF SACHS Dampers and Brembo Brakes. This package is specially tuned by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing to provide exceptional handling, ride comfort, and consistent braking. The dampers and brakes are designed to maximize ground contact, absorb vibrations, balance road feedback, and ensure stable steering for an optimal driving experience.
- Advanced Safety Suite
The manual transmission models of the GR86 TRUENO Edition will feature an Active Safety Suite that uses a stereo camera to monitor the road ahead. This system includes features like Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist, keeping you safe and focused on the exhilaration of the drive.
- Powerful, Lightweight, and Track-Ready
Weighing just 1,275 kg for the Base grade model with a manual transmission, the GR86 TRUENO Edition remains one of the lightest sports cars on the market. This light weight, paired with a powerful 2.4-litre FA-24 engine that delivers 228 hp and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, makes for a responsive and thrilling driving experience. To further enhance this performance, the GR86 also comes equipped with a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential and the ability to switch off Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and engage Track mode.
