The new Trueno Edition GR86 from Toyota came with several unique features not available on any other model of the GR86. Let's take a deep dive and go into every detail about this limited edition Japanese sports coupe! From Brembo brakes to a matte black vinyl wrap, there are many interesting things about this version of the GR86 but is it worth the price?

If they would have made the hood carbon that would be hard, but just having a little vinyl stripe is kind silly ngl

@yaboirico5221 Жыл бұрын

not even carbon, just black would have been good. but we know toyota is capable of bringing us carbon fiber parts so why not for a limited production car? at least half of them maybe? idk

The new shift knob in the inside is a very nice touch, probably my favourite part about the special edition lol.

Hey Nick! I just wanted to take a moment to say that I appreciate you. I enioyed several of your videos before realizing that you lived in Japan. This really opened my eyes to your level of commitment. Im not sure what your goals are in Japan. Im guessing just to soak up the culture and run the mountain roads/ebisu. Regardless I wish you the best out there. You put out content far above your channel size. I think it is safe to say that we are all proud of you. Blessings on your year 🎉.

I actually put my order in for this exact car at my Toyota dealership 7 days after it got announced. Im first on the list. I cant wait for it tbh. #manual the safety features for the 2024 are actually what sealed the deal the for me considering i hate being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic so i will be using the ACC and LKAS thru busy city traffic and i will be sliding every corner on my night rides.

Yeah, another person pointed out that they may be saving it for a special TRD/GR edition similar to what they did with the FRS and GT86 in the past and that makes sense.

Trueno Designer!!! Those suggestions for the stripes are actually super clever and sick! I really like the idea of doing the lil ass cheek stripes xD! The front ones give it that aggressive look too, I think the black hood looks kinda goofy since they only did the little landing strip on the hood.

The matte black on the hood is practical and stylish. Anti glare is a real thing, and with the Brembos, Struts, and the N.A.S.A. membership they expect you to put out on the track. We went with a Premium in Trueno Blue. It comes in on the 18th... 🎉 Happy Days...

@Nick_Ramirez Жыл бұрын

Anti glare? Really?😂 No one puts a skinny strip of black vinyl wrap down the center of their hood to improve their track driving skills. Those Brembos are pretty awesome though. Congrats on the new car man 👍

@teotwawki00 Жыл бұрын

@Nick_Ramirez Thanks. It's not a skinny strip in the hood, it's the whole center. That's the reason they use the suede over the gauge cluster too. It helps prevent reflection on the inside of the windshield.

@Nick_Ramirez Жыл бұрын

@@teotwawki00 I am well aware of the purpose of using material like suede on a dash but that is not what we are talking about. If the reason they used the matte black vinyl on the hood was for “anti glare” purposes, I personally think that is really silly. There is no way it could provide a significant enough of an advantage otherwise every every professional race car would be doing the same thing. My main gripe against it has nothing to do with practicality, I just think it’s ugly. I would never sacrifice the looks of my car for such a minimal practical advantage.

I really love the GR86 platform it's great that Toyota wants you to modify the car and that they are selling the brembo brake kit at a Toyota Dealer. I like it how they have this Trueno edition although it will be price gouged with Markup in the US. It’s just a shame that these cars are marketed at young audience looking to have fun it but the people that will be able to purchase this car won’t be what its marketed for. Their is also an issue ive been watching these forums about the GR86 having issues with the RTV getting picked up resulting in motors being blown as well as the oil pressure dropping dramatically during hard driving. I don't see myself getting one soon but I am curious to see how Toyota/Subaru reply to all the people having issues with their GR86s.

@Nick_Ramirez Жыл бұрын

I am really interested to see how that whole RTV thing plays out. Hopefully everything will be fine after the 2023 model. It's best to avoid an early year model of any car tbh.

@Jakupdoesnt Жыл бұрын

@@Nick_Ramirez yea thats why im hoping that they clean it up a bit fixing the RTV issue aswell as the drop in oil pressure and maybe give it a different face lift that makes it look even more aggressive
