The Toyota 86 is the only Sports range of Toyota. So it is not much surprised that Toyota gave a lot of time to think of the new version and they did pretty well from the looks of it. The GT86 has a facelift and now presents a new front bumper, with wider air inlets and redesigned light clusters. It's tail lights now use LED technology and the rear bumper, now has a larger diffuser at the bottom.

Additionally, Toyota representatives said that the outstanding dynamic behavior of GT86 has been further enhanced in the new Toyota GT86 2016 thanks to the reconfiguration of the suspension.

“The biggest point I wanted to improve was the car’s responsiveness – on and off acceleration, turning in and turning out, and the speed and naturalness of its reactions. This has partly come from modifying the dampers and springs, but the biggest point of influence has been in aerodynamics and the way this affects the suspension.” Chief designer Tetsuya Tada said
