May 25 2022,
Toyota vehicles are known for their reliability, their dependability, their safety, their comfort, and their refinement. But Toyota also builds some of the most dynamic and enjoyable driver’s cars ever designed. The 2023 Toyota Supra with its multiple improvements and the 2022 Toyota GR86 which just arrived on the market are two of the most fun and dynamic sports cars you can drive today. They make the perfect summer car for enthusiasts and although each has its unique set of characteristics, either one will give you the highest level of fun behind the wheel. Let's take a look at these two unique vehicles.
2022 Toyota GR86
The 2022 Toyota GR86 was introduced last year and went on sale on December 1. With a starting price of $31,490 and Premium grade models starting at $34,490, the 2022 Toyota GR86 is definitely one of the most dynamic vehicles you can get in its price range and the value proposition is through the roof.
The redesigned GR86 replaced the previous 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a 2.4 L naturally aspirated horizontally opposed four-cylinder BOXER engine that significantly enhanced both horsepower and torque. The 2022 Toyota GR86 offers exceptional accelerations and passing performance across the rev range and can reach 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds with the manual transmission. That said, the name of the game with the GR86 is just as much about handling as it is about straight-line performance, maybe even more.
Weighing in at just 1,270 kg, and featuring a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, sport-tuned independent McPherson struts in the front and a double wishbone rear suspension, and increased rigidity with a wider stance and low centre of gravity, the 2022 Toyota GR86 is one of the best handling cars you can buy today.
