Autocar’s Editor-at-Large Matt Prior described the GT86 as “a car with such enormous potential that its future classic status is guaranteed - if indeed it hasn’t already started”. e Toyota motor has a 2,387cc engine, a top speed of 140mph, and can reach 62mph in 6.3 seconds. Vehicle Curator at the National Motor Museum, Patrick Collins says, “We’re delighted to have the Toyota GR86 on show in the Museum and to have such contemporary cars added to our fantastic displays. As a testament to how impressive a car this is, I am told that if you would like a Toyota GR86 in your garage you’re too late.
