As a brand new owner of a '23 Toyota GR86 premium, i can vouch for Joe when he says you have to get behind the wheel of one to fully embrace it in all levels. Looks and feels 1,000% better in person which made the whole thing that much better to own. Do yourselves a favor and hunt one down and test drive the GR86.

That's true! Also, people keep calling this car as the ''eighty six'', but it should be called the ''eight six'' since that's how it's called in Japanese
I own the 2023 GR86 and love it. I don't know why they didn't equip this one with the GR Performance Dual Exhaust. You can also get this added on while purchasing BTW! It would make sense if it were standard on this edition.
Toyota also said that this new performance suspension package can be retrofited to 2022 and 2023 models that have 18in wheels equiped. I'll be doing this to my 23 Premium MT.
Corolla not Celica. I was too late to the party and ended up with an AE92 Corolla GTS. Awesome two-door sporty little four banger with lots of cool gadgets and gizmos that would be neat to still have today. Celica was more of an intentional sports car where the Corolla GTS was a two-door Corolla econo sports car. AE86 chassis code for the Corolla was the last rear wheel drive two-door Corolla.
For non-JDM and non-Initial D people: The AE86 came with multiple body designs and headlight configurations: Sprinter Trueno came in Notchback and Hatchback with Pop-up headlights Levin also came in Notchback and Hatchback varieties with fixed headlights Thunder and Lightning. Respectively. Respectfully-
As a 2013 GT86 owner I fell in love with that car and Toyota have absolutely knocked it out the park with all these GR versions. I’m itching to get my hands on a manual Supra, but I’d genuinely have one each of the Supra, Yaris, Corolla and the 86 if I could afford it. Bravo Toyota, all these cars are exactly what petrol heads wanted.
Just got myself a 22 BRZ limited, but man am I excited to see whoever is able to nab one of these and to see them cruising on the road. Very classy look.
Cool Toyota GR86 Trueno Edition and the things I know is yes, you'll not be seeing millions of them on the road and while priding isn't yet set in stone I still looooooove the GR86.
Really cool! Next special edition needs to be one with the 300hp GR Corolla engine, How much fun would that be! I know they tested one. Unfortunately they won’t make it because they seem to have some hang up against putting Turbo power in this platform even though it is improved and could easily handle it.
I don't know if it's a "hang up" but Toyota doesn't have a lot of turbocharged motors in their portfolio that would fit this chassis designed AROUND the Boxer4. Some have wondered if the STi engine would find its way into the GR86 with the STi being discontinued. Fat chance, especially with the Turbo4 Surpa. Toyota would be competing against themselves.
Quite odd that it doesnt have the boosted Rolla 3 banger. I would have considered buying one since the Rolla GR sells for 54K at my local Toyota dealership.
I literally just watched four videos of the 86 dying on a track thanks to RTV blocking oil pickup...does this come with EXTRA RTV :) Toyota needs to take command of this build
Look on the bright side, you don't have the Dutch's issues. if you'd import this to the Netherlands (if possible at all at these low production numbers), you can add a good 30K on top of that as BPM tax. Our government is insane like that
I love this car! The GR 86 is my favorite car ever 🥰❤️ And seeing how it's heritage is recognized by this special edition makes me very happy 🥰❤️ Thanks for being the only one to cover this Joe :')
I prefer the GR 86 over the Supra for its fun factor, the flat 4 is a great engine, I love the color and graphics, the interior is sweet and no fake vents. Thanks Joe and Lori you're on a roll today with the videos!🚀🚀

Joe, Toyota bringing out a performance package is great, but when are they going to do something about the excessive RTV issue? Not buying one while it sheds RTV into the oil pickup tube.
@@kingbojack Toyota and Subaru have a big problem with the way the oil pans of 2022 GR86 and BRZ cars were sealed up. On these applications, Toyota and Subaru opted for a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant in place of a conventional gasket on the oil pan. This isn’t the first time we’ve learned about RTV problems when used at the oil pan - Ford has their own issues, but that’s a story for another day. In many documented cases of the Toyota GR86 and the Subaru BRZ problem, too much RTV was applied to the oil pan at the factory which is leading to oil starvation and eventual engine failure. This is an especially big deal considering that both vehicles are marketed as track-ready, and yet, they can’t survive a track day.
Amazing video as always, guys! 2 extra QoL bits I noticed that seem like they're worth mentioning. 1. Look at the vertical space they give you above the pocket in the door panels. Most cars have the armrest/handle as a complete bar that extends over top of the pocket and makes it a PITA to actually fit anything into the pocket. 9:12 2. Spacing/placement of the steering wheel controls look like they would be perfect for actually using them either during spirited driving or while cruising on the interstate with one hand on the wheel and elbow resting on the side. 12:00 As a side note, why in the world have they not given the GR86 a turbo option by now?! I don't think they realize how much of an impact they would make on the market by simply carrying over the FI setup offered on the WRX. Personally, I would've bought a GR86 years ago if it had that one simple change. I don't just say that because of the power potential; I know that isn't what this car is about. Just from an efficiency standpoint, it would make this car much more pleasurable to drive. I know we have all been in a 4cyl vehicle that required the AC to be turned off to safely make that pass on the interstate/backroad or to get up to highway speeds on a short on-ramp. Ofcourse, this is just my personal opinion :)
I mean u could just put one in urself if u want, maybe that’s y they haven’t done it yet, if they were to though it takes away from feel of the car idk 😅
They have not given the car a turbo because that was never the goal of the car. The goal was to fill an empty void that was missing from the driving pleasure that the AE86 brought to the community. Many famous Japanese drivers have grown up with the AE86. There is no car like it and toyota heard that and decided to pay homage to the original. Original brought a lot of joy without having a turbo. It was an aspect on under dog car that has a cult following.
If the car had a turbo the price would probably start around 38k or higher (think BMW 230i). To keep costs down and complexity I think they didn't go with turbo, I mean they wouldn't want it to compete against Toyota's own Supra!
1. The AE86 was a Corolla not a Celica. 2. It wasn't nicknamed trueno sprinter. There were two ae86s, the Levin and the Trueno. Trueno having the popup headlights.
@RaitisRides if so, I'll definitely follow through with buying one! That was the only thing stopping me from getting it. All the controversy about it had me skeptical.
You always do a good job reviewing cars Joe! But man, this is a lazy work from toyota. They could have add a aero kit instead of just stickers and add the gr performance exhaust.The only good part : Brembos and red seats...
Basically new livery, different colored interior and bigger brakes. Was expecting to have the bootlid be a fastback. Still has that unreliable subaru flat 4. Cant wait for the GR86 Levin and Apex edition. 🤭
Good job!!! That's the "New Toyota Celica". I'll call it that. Beautiful vehicle. BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE!! .. wished it would be a six something. Inline, or V6. Still, a very beautiful car.
Body graphics don't do anything for me, interior looks great. Dealer markup on these will probably be insane. Good to hear the performance package will be available on the other models 👍
The reason for the limited edition is so dealers have something to do what they do with. As in the $55K - $60K Civic Type R's. Can't wait to watch the fun. That said, they did a very nice job equipping this version of the car.

@@martinrps13 want to hear what you mean by that, because what I think you’re trying to say is misinformed. 😂 Trueno had fixed headlights longer then they had pop ups.
It must be hard to do a little research. The AE86 was a Corolla not a Celica Gts. In Japan they offered a Tureno and Levin. Biggest difference being pop up headlights vs non.
you said Celica GTS, in the USA the AE86 was known as the Corolla GTS, in Japan and other parts of the world they had the Sprinter Trueno and Corolla Levin one had pop up headlights the other had fixed headlights the wheels look like the RS Watababe rims pretty cool tbh.

Toyota's factory exhausts aren't that good anyway. The Berk Technology dual muffler delete with the rest of the exhaust being stock sounds the best.

Great spec and thanks for the Vlog with the info. Joe, are you going to review the new Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series?
Lovin it, Toyota knockin it outta the park!
I totally agree with you!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the great work job 👏 real true and I love the video 👍
Any word if they getting Morizo for 2024?
No they are not.
@@RaitisRides oh so 1 year run only...
2 or 5 seater?
As a fan of Initial D and the AE86, I can adore this car
Any extra horsepower?
was this launched at the plano hq?
I'm diggin the black contrast door handles.
Do you know if there will also be a BRZ special edition for 2024?
Nothing from Subaru yet.
I am deciding on the mk5, Subaru ts, m3, or a Mercedes Benz but I am not sure.
Short answer no. Those 86’s have been getting blown engine reports lately
What do you really expect from Subaru?
It must be hard to do a little research. The AE86 was a Corolla not a Celica Gts. In Japan they offered a Tureno and Levin. Biggest difference being pop up headlights vs non.
I would have liked it to have green and black trim to give it that JDM feel.
you said Celica GTS, in the USA the AE86 was known as the Corolla GTS, in Japan and other parts of the world they had the Sprinter Trueno and Corolla Levin one had pop up headlights the other had fixed headlights the wheels look like the RS Watababe rims pretty cool tbh.
