AutomobileMag tested the 2020 Toyota 86 GT to see how well it performs on the racetrack. If you're familiar with the 86, then there's little to be gained from the review but still worth a watch. This summary gives you an idea of what to expect:
"Indeed, if the Toyota is short on power, it still qualifies as a true driver's car. Our test vehicle arrived with the optional handling package, which includes Sachs dampers, Brembo brakes, a TRD rear anti-roll bar, and TRD exhaust. The latter makes the flat-four engine sound rather strong to our ears, and along with the car's notchy six-speed manual gearbox, it adds to the overall experience. The 2020 Toyota 86 GT certainly isn't for everyone, but for a particular type of driver, it's a fantastic prescription for everyday automotive boredom."
