At the design department, the sensual yet elegant design of Toyota 2000GT has been transferred over and be used as the base for All New Toyota 86. The end result speaks for more apparent aerodynamics. This can also be seen in the engine hood and headlamps of the sharp All New Toyota 86. Toyota also decorated its rear with LED lights and a pair of mufflers.

Built by passion

Therefore this car was crafted into something so good looking without sacrificing its own performance, while being fairly easy to drive for both beginners and professionals.

Complemented with D-4S (Direct Injection 4-stroke Gasoline Superior) technology, Hachiroku able to churn out power up to 187hp at 7.000 rpm and at the same time remains easy on the fuel (claim: 9.3km/litre in the city and 12.75 km/litre outside of the city).

All New Toyota 86 uses a rear-wheel drive system with centre of gravity positioned at a lower level (460mm), it also applies 6-speed manual and automatic transmission (plus paddle shift).

Hachiroku's racing spirit made thicker with the use of semi-racing seats accompanied with small diameter steering wheel and colour options of black or combination of black and red.

In the driver's cockpit, the owner will see a digital panel that goes with speedometer and analogue tachometer. Diverse features have been inserted including the earlier said paddle shift (automatic transmission), cruise control, and airbags in several points (driver, passenger and knees).
