Toyota Gazoo Racing reveals sleek GR86 RZ Ridge Green edition
Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) injects fresh energy into the exciting GR86 with a focus on enhanced handling and a limited-edition RZ Ridge Green variant. This move caters to Japanese sports car enthusiasts seeking an even more thrilling driving experience. Orders for the upgraded GR86 are now open at Toyota dealerships across Japan, with sales commencing on August 1, 2024.
The core upgrades target improved driver feel and sharper handling. Refined shock absorber damping fosters a better connection between car and road, while maintaining the GR86's characteristically direct handling. TGR engineers have meticulously tuned the Electric Power Steering (EPS) for a more precise and intuitive steering response, allowing for a car that feels more connected to driver inputs, especially during spirited driving.
For those who relish the control of a manual transmission, the GR86 boasts a revised throttle map, ensuring a more linear and predictable power delivery. Automatic transmission models benefit from an expanded engine-speed tolerance range during downshifts, resulting in smoother and more precise gear changes. Further bolstering safety, the upgraded GR86 now includes a tire pressure warning system and daytime running lights.
Beyond the standard upgrades, TGR introduces the RZ Ridge Green Limited Edition, a captivating variant offering a unique aesthetic package and some performance enhancements. The exclusive Ridge Green exterior color makes the RZ Ridge Green Limited a true head-turner. A set of distinctive bronze wheels complements the striking paint job for a truly eye-catching look.
Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of a high-performance Brembo braking system, ensuring exceptional stopping power. Sachs shock absorbers, renowned for their performance and durability, further enhance the RZ Ridge Green Limited's handling capabilities. Unique interior embroidery adds a touch of exclusivity to the RZ Ridge Green Limited cabin, creating a truly special driving environment.
With only 200 units available in Japan, the RZ Ridge Green Limited is a true collector's item. Potential buyers must enter the purchasing lottery running until July 28th, 2024, for a chance to own this exclusive GR86.
Toyota Gazoo Racing's commitment to the GR86 is evident in these upgrades and the limited-edition model. The focus on sharpening the driving experience ensures the GR86 remains a thrilling and engaging sports car. Whether opting for the standard upgraded model or securing an RZ Ridge Green Limited, drivers can be sure to experience an exhilarating drive.
