Toyota Australia is marking the start of a six-month countdown to the first round of the Toyota 86 Racing Series by releasing a special-edition version of Australia’s best-selling sports car.\u00a0Known as the Toyota 86 Blackline Edition, it features a subtle body kit, gloss-black 17-inch alloy wheels and distinctive red highlights in the sporty black interior.<\/p>\n

The newest 86 derives its special-edition name from the twin black stripes on the roof and bonnet, accentuated by the model’s “white liquid” exterior paint colour.\u00a0Based on the high-line 86 GTS, Toyota is producing just 450 of the 86 Blackline Edition cars – 250 manuals priced from $37,990\u00a0and 200 automatics priced from $40,490 in Australia.<\/p>\n

Feature items have been sourced from Toyota’s acclaimed engineering and motorsport partner TRD including front spoiler, side skirts, three-piece rear spoiler, rear lower bumper and fender garnishes.<\/p>\n

Inside, the new package sets the Toyota 86 Blackline Edition apart with dramatic splashes of red on the seats, steering wheel, gearshift knob, handbrake lever and door grips.\u00a0Release of the special-edition 86 coincides with an announcement that the Toyota 86 Racing Series is due to hit local racetracks from May.<\/p>\n

Each of next year’s five rounds will offer a starting grid of up to 32 cars at selected V8 Supercars events, including Sandown in September and Bathurst in October. The pro-am format will include up to five professional guest drivers who will also mentor the amateur drivers competing for a prize pool of at least $125,000.<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2012, the 86 has been Australia’s best-selling sports car with more than 15,600 sold to local customers.\u00a0The 86 has attracted a cult following with its fun-to-drive rear-wheel drive dynamics powered by a 147kW, 205Nm 2.0-litre direct-injection four-cylinder engine and a choice of six-speed transmissions.\u00a0Other standard features on the Toyota 86 Blackline Edition include a 6.1-inch touch screen that displays satellite navigation with live traffic updates, reversing camera image and audio interface.<\/p>\n

Exterior fittings include auto-levelling HID headlamps, front foglamps, LED daytime running lamps and keyless smart entry.\u00a0Stepping inside over the scuff plates with stainless-steel inserts, owners are treated to dual-zone climate-control air-conditioning, keyless smart start, leather-accented front seats with Alcantara\u00a0inserts and aluminium pedals.<\/p>\n

Every Toyota 86 is equipped with seven airbags, reversing camera, cruise control, stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes and a multi-information display.<\/p>\n<\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
