The Toyota 86 or GT86 as known in some markets is inspired by the iconic 1980s AE86 Levin/Trueno/Corolla GT and signifies Toyota's return in making fun and relatively affordable sports cars. The modern day 86 features a new rear-wheel drive platform under its two-door coupe body work. Power comes from a 2-litre flat-four unit with 200bhp and 205Nm. The 86's low centre of gravity and rear-wheel drive layout guarantees unsurpassed fun for a car at its price point, as oneshift found out during a short drive in the car during the preview.

Borneo Motors will offer both automatic and manual transmission options and two trim levels - S and GS. The latter offers higher levels of standard kit. A TRD model will also be offered at a later date. The S retails for $188,988 while the GS will set you back an additional $10k. All 86s will come with Borneo's extended 5-year/100,000km warranty. Look out for a more comprehensive drive story of the 86 real soon!
