2027 Toyota GR86

Explore the Toyota GR86 at Toyota of Boardman

In a market that keeps making sports cars heavier and more complicated, the GR86 does the opposite. It's rear-wheel drive, it's light, and it doesn't hide the fact that the driver is the point. For 2027, Toyota's GAZOO Racing team has focused on how the car responds to your inputs rather than adding power. Toyota of Boardman welcomes the updated GR86 for Mahoning Valley enthusiasts who want a real driver's car at a sensible size.

A Naturally Aspirated 2.4-Liter Boxer With 228 Horsepower

The engine is a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder boxer producing 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque with no turbocharger involved. That character, a low center of gravity and a linear pull to redline, is a big part of what makes the GR86 feel the way it does. Zero to 60 takes 6.1 seconds with the manual and 6.6 with the automatic.

Throttle and Shift Refinements for 2027

Engineers reworked the throttle calibration for a smoother, more linear response, and improved the fifth-to-fourth downshift feel in the manual gearbox. These are the sort of changes you notice on a back road and not on a spec sheet, and they make the car easier to drive precisely.

Six-Speed Manual or Six-Speed Automatic on Both Grades

Both the base GR86 and the GR86 Premium are offered with a six-speed manual or an automatic with paddle shifters, so nobody has to choose a grade to get the transmission they want. At 2,811 pounds for the manual base model, the GR86 is one of the lightest sports cars Toyota builds.

Thunder Gray and a New Cockpit Red Interior

The new Thunder color is a solid gray that shifts with the light and picks out the car's sculpted lines. Premium grades also add a Cockpit Red interior option. Neither changes how it drives, but both give the car a little more personality in the parking lot.

Performance Package With Brembo Brakes and Sachs Dampers

For 2027, a Performance Package is available on both the GR86 and GR86 Premium, adding Brembo brakes and Sachs dampers. It's aimed at owners who plan to push the car harder on a track or on twisty roads, and it's worth asking about early.

Safety Technology That Fits a Sports Car

The GR86 comes standard with pre-collision braking, lane departure warning with sway warning, automatic high beams, pre-collision throttle management, and adaptive cruise control with a lead vehicle start alert. Blind Spot Detection is available on both manual and automatic models, and rear parking sonar with reverse automatic braking is available as well.
