This Race-Spec Toyota 86 Cup Reminds Us That We're Suckers For A Good Livery
Let us get one thing out of the way so we can concentrate on the good news: this fast-looking GT86 has no extra power or performance, unless it comes from slick tyres.
Other than a little extra stability at the rear courtesy of a race-spec wing, this American ‘86 Cup’ racer is no more capable in a straight line than the street-ready car. But look at that livery. This is a damn fine-looking race car. The red and white graphics look like they’re straight out of a 2000s video game. I’m sure I used to dress my cars pretty much just like this in Need For Speed: Underground.
It’s set to make an appearance at a single round of the Pirelli World Challenge; the two races at Utah’s Motorsports Campus next weekend. We only have one picture of it, sadly, but it’s a looker. As fans of the 86 just as it is (and when it gets power boosts) we might be a little bit in love.

i was expecting a castrol one :D
Oh, you mean this? xD!
There’s just one really really small issue:
It doesn’t have any more power. 😤
But but but
It doesn’t need any more
I wouldnt mind extra short gearing like rally cross cars
I really like the idea behind the GT86 and the car itself (even with the power it has), I like the wheels and the livery, the rollcage and even the #letsgoplaces hashtag
Someone needs to convert one to be road legal, id have one in a heartbeat if my bank account allowed it. It’d be the P1 LM of the common man.
Im 100% sure this is an homage to the 1998 toyota GT-One lemans racecar.
Nothing quite like a suitcase in the fuel tank
Yea, I still like this 86 and this livery better
But I do like the new 86 too
What abut this livery [Eurobeat Intensifies]
EUROBEAT BECOMES BASS BOOSTED
(Null)

It´s 8/6 and CT posted a GT86, what a coincidence
