Frequently asked questions
While some high-performance cars are enhanced versions of mainstream vehicles, an authentic sports car like the Toyota GR86 is a purebred machine created without compromise.
Where normal cars are designed to be convenient, practical, comfortable and easy to drive, sports cars prioritise performance and driving enjoyment above all else.
Toyota’s sports cars draw on its technical expertise in world-class motorsport, particularly long-distance endurance racing and rallying, where reliability is critical to success.

Design
Aerodynamics are a critical aspect of sports car development. Low drag is critical, to maximise speed and efficiency, but a sports car must also harness the power of the air to generate downforce. These principles, developed in motorsport, inform the striking design of Toyota’s sports cars. You can see it in the GR Supra’s wind-cheating shape, and in the rally-inspired style of the GR Yaris.

Interior
Putting the driver at ease and in control is key to success in motorsport. In the same way, sports cars require purposeful and ergonomically sophisticated cockpits that display key information without distractions. The GR Supra encapsulates this thinking, with a low driving position, snug and supportive seats and a driver’s display dominated by the rev counter.

Racing Heritage
Motorsport is an unforgiving arena in which only the best can hope to triumph. Winning demands power, reliability, supreme aerodynamics and flawless handling. Toyota’s dominance of both the World Endurance Championship and the world’s toughest motor race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is proof of its supremacy in these areas. That success feeds into Toyota sports cars like the GR86 and GR Supra, while the GR Yaris is a direct result of Toyota’s participation in the challenging World Rally Championship.
