Toyota is not exactly skimping with the specification at that price either as standard equipment on the GT86 will include 17-inch alloys, HID headlamps, front fog lights, keyless entry and start, climate control, Bluetooth and a touchscreen stereo system with auxiliary input for MP3 players. Available options are limited to exterior colour, of which there are seven and interior finish.
Whatever the finish all GT86s will be powered by the same 2.0-litre 'boxer' petrol engine (developed in conjunction with Toyota) that offers 200hp and emissions of 181g/km for the manual or 164g/km for the automatic.
"The GT86 was designed to be very much a 'driver's car' and we're confident that even the most demanding car enthusiast will be impressed by the driving experience it offers," comments David Shannon, Managing Director, Toyota Ireland.
