Performance: Power You Can Feel

Every 2027 GR86 uses a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter FA24 horizontally opposed 4-cylinder boxer engine producing 228 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 184 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,700 rpm. Technical details include 2,387 cc of displacement, a 94-by-86-mm bore and stroke, 12.5:1 compression, DOHC 16-valve construction, transistorized ignition, D-4S direct injection, and a requirement for 93-octane-or-higher gasoline.

For 2027, Toyota recalibrated accelerator input and torque delivery for more linear response and widened the manual shifter interlock chamfer between fourth and fifth gears by approximately 0.02 inch for smoother shifting.

The manual GR86 can reach 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, while Toyota’s 2027 announcement lists 6.6 seconds for the automatic. Maximum speed is listed at 140 mph in Toyota’s manual-transmission specification table. Manual base models weigh 2,811 pounds.

The base GR86 can package these components with 18-inch matte-black wheels. An available GR Aero Kit for GR86 Premium adds a front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Every GR86 also includes a complimentary one-year National Auto Sport Association membership with one High-Performance Driving Experience.

Technology: Driver-Focused Information and Everyday Connectivity

The GR86 puts performance information directly in front of the driver through a 7-inch TFT GR digital gauge cluster. It includes GR and boxer-engine startup animations, a central tachometer with Sport and Track modes, odometer, tripmeters, ambient temperature, engine coolant and oil temperatures, average speed, driving time, mileage, stopwatch/lap timer, fuel-consumption data, rpm and horsepower/torque curves, and instantaneous and historical G-force displays.

Safety: More Driver Assistance for 2027

The 2027 GR86 combines traditional sports-car control with a sizable collection of active-safety technology. Toyota says the stereo camera’s recognition range was nearly doubled for improved preceding-vehicle detection during cruise-control operation, while a monocular camera was added to improve nearby-object detection at intersections.
