Toyota has announced pricing for its first ever UK model grade to feature genuine parts from its tuning and motorsports arm, the GT86 TRD (Toyota Racing Developments).
Only 250 examples of the car will be offered in the UK, with sales to start from 1 March at on-the-road prices set at £31,495 for the 6-speed manual model and £32,995 for the 6-speed automatic version.
Available in a choice of two colours, Pearl White and GT86 Black, the TRD-prepped model won't bring any engine upgrades over the regular model, as the focus is on improving the GT86's styling and aerodynamics.
The TRD package includes 18-inch cast TF6 alloys, deep front and side skirts, a rear bumper spoiler and a quad-exhaust system with a rear diffuser on the outside, plus a branded radiator cap and fuel filler cover and a new TRD gearshift lever on the inside.
Since there are no engine mods, the GT86 TRD's acceleration and maximum speed remain unchanged at 7.7 seconds for 0-62mph (100km/h) and 140mph (225km/h) for the manual and 8.4 seconds and 130mph (209km/h) for the automatic.

very nice indeed!
Man, the Brits sure like their cars kitted up. Manufacturers are always offering special editions of cars to the UK and I'm assuming they have no problem paying extra for them.
I like the wheels on that; make the car look more attractive; not crazy 'bout the rest though.
new exhaust a no extra hp?? TRD is nothing more than an aero package
I thought TRD meant power and handling upgrades, but just poser upgrades.
In the old days TRD meant that
Almost a second slower to 60 and 10 mph off the top end speed, that must be one crappy automatic.
Great Looks especially the headlamps.... Seems like, Toyota is really increasing its design efforts
