We're Envious Of The New Toyota GR86 Special Edition

Written on May 29, 2022 Reading time: 2 mins

Toyota has had a wonderful year so far, setting sales records in the first quarter with its sports car lineup, which includes the GR86 and GR Supra. And the GR Corolla is sweeping the automobile industry. The Toyota GR86 is particularly popular, and many overseas markets have sold out. This no-nonsense rear-wheel-drive sports vehicle returns in 2022 with greater power and dynamic capabilities, and special versions are already on the way. We learnt in April that Toyota would release a 10th anniversary GR86 in 2023, and now we've learned of two additional special editions, both of which are only available in Spain, and they have us seeing green.

The Toyota GR86 RZ is the sole trim level available in Spain, and it comes with a manual transmission, 17-inch wheels with Michelin Primacy tires, and a cloth interior. Unfortunately, the GR86 will not be available in Spain with an Alcantara interior, heated seats, or alloy pedals, but two special editions will be available: the Touring Pack and the Circuit Pack. The Touring Pack includes Gazoo Racing high-friction brake pads, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (225/40 R18), and 18-inch alloy wheels for 35,400 euros (about $37,500).

Crystal White Pearl, Ignition Red, and Crystal Black Silica are the colors available for both limited edition automobiles. Toyota Spain has placed an order for 100 of these special kits, with another 500 set to arrive by 2024, when the GR86's sales in that nation would come to an end owing to stricter pollution restrictions. Although the Touring and Circuit packages will not be available in the United States, we have a thriving aftermarket tuning sector that will come up with something even better and cheaper.

Kimi Raikkonen Returns To NASCAR Racing

After 20 years as one of the most exciting drivers on the grid, Kimi Raikkonen retired from Formula One in 2021. The man was always swift, but so many of us adored his personality - or rather, his apparent lack thereof. His attitude toward foolish inquiries and lack of tolerance for corporate intervention were the antithesis of today's F1 drivers, who are PR-grooming walking billboards. He's sold a lightly used Ferrari F12tdf since leaving the F1 track, but he's largely remained beneath the spotlight. That is about to change, as the Finnish driver will race in NASCAR in America.

Elon Musk Promises That Full Self-driving Cars Will Be Available Within A Year.

While we admire Elon Musk's contributions to the automobile industry, we believe it's fair to state he has a track record of missing deadlines. We published an opinion piece last year on most of his hollow promises and failures, for which he appears to receive a free pass all of the time.

The Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo Is A Hybrid Monster With 426 HP

You'll recognize a Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak if you're old enough to recall the first Gran Turismo game. Grand Turismo and Suzuki have such a close relationship that the Japanese automaker went to the bother of designing a digital concept car specifically for the game.

The Last McLaren Senna Is Without a Doubt The Coolest

Ayrton Senna had an illustrious career, to say the least. He was the most dominant man in Formula 1 for a long period. No one could compete with him. In a word, he was untouchable. Despite the fact that the McLaren Senna has been around for a few years, we still believe it's a bold move to name a car after him. Metal can't hold a candle to the legacy of one of Formula One's legends. But that doesn't change the fact that the Senna is a really great automobile.
