Driving-experience evolution true to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car
Refined driving dynamics have strengthened the GR86's appeal of delivering intuitive handling and instinctive responsiveness true to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car.
Adjusted throttle control settings ensure intuitive handling and instinctive responsiveness when exiting corners, driving on low-friction surfaces, such as wet or snow-covered roads, and in other situations that require precise acceleration control. A retained direct sensation and better linear response between pedal application and acceleration deliver a smooth, freely controllable driving experience in any situation.
The electric power steering control, modified drawing on experience from competing in the Super Taikyu Series with the GR86, eliminates wobble in high-speed corners and on rough surfaces, enabling precise steering that allows tracing of the intended line. Meticulous fine-tuning down to the millimeter has achieved a confidence-inspiring control setup that preserves the GR86's unique intuitive handling and instinctive responsiveness stemming from its low center of gravity.
For the manual transmission model, the chamfer on the shift interlock is now 0.5 mm broader for enhanced operability when downshifting from fifth to fourth gear, ensuring smoother, stress-free, at-the-limit corner entry. The result is a seamless transition from deceleration to turn-in that delivers the GR86's signature responsive driving performance.
