Toyota has revealed the new GR86 Yuzu Edition, which is a new variant of the two-door sports car that will be offered in North America for the 2026 model year. The limited-edition model, which will be limited to just 860 units, is based on the existing Premium grade but gains a few unique touches to make it stand out.
The most obvious is the exclusive Yuzu Yellow exterior finish that is a nod to a memorable special edition of GR86’s predecessor, the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 that went on sale for the 2015 model year. If you haven’t heard of Scion, it was a marque of Toyota that debuted in 2003 that was intended to appeal to younger customers. The FR-S was essentially a rebadged 86 but the latter wasn’t initially sold with a Toyota badge in the United States and Canada.
In addition to the flashy yellow paintjob, the Yuzu Edition comes with 18-inch wheels in matte black as well as various black accents. Customers can also option additional accessories like a bodykit and catback exhaust with silver-coloured tips bearing the ‘GR’ logo.
Inside, you’ll find a black interior with sport seats that are trimmed in black Ultrasuede with yellow perforation and stitching. Yellow accents are also applied in various parts of cabin, including the stitching on the steering wheel, parking brake handle and door trim.
Mechanically, the Yuzu Edition keeps to the same 2.4 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine found in regular GR86 variants. The mill serves up 231 PS (228 hp) and 249 Nm of torque, with drive going to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The Brembo brakes and Sachs dampers that are offered as options for other variants are standard on the limited-edition model.
Toyota says the 2026 model year GR86 range will arrive at dealerships in the fall of 2025, with pricing and further details set to be announced later this year. The GR86 got updated in 2024, with the US gaining a special variant called the Hakone Edition, which is known as the Ridge Green Limited in Japan.
