JAKARTA - PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) presents New GR86 which has received increased driving performance from GAZOO Racing (GR), making driving experience more challenging and able to understand the driver's instincts.

This increase is the result of input from racers and sports car enthusiasts, which makes this car very fun to drive, both on the race circuit track and on daily mobility. Interesting isn't it?

The second generation of Toyota GR86 was built on the TNGA platform, accompanied by increased engine performance and a touch of racing on steering and suspension components, to achieve high driving performance. PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) presents a New GR86 whose performance limit is even higher, to strengthen the unique driving experience of GR Pure and provide a joy of GR from behind its wheel, said Vice President Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) Henry Tanoto, in his official statement received, Friday, September 27.

New GR86 character improvement

The touch presented at GR86 includes increasing the character of shock absorbers to provide contact with more optimal asphalt while maintaining the response of a typical sports car. GR collaborates with Sachs (ZF) to provide the most appropriate shock absorber for this sport car character. Electric Power Steering (EPS) has been upgraded to provide more intuitive handling and natural response when interacting with the driver.

FA24 2.387 cc 4-cylinder boxer performance is still very adequate. The advanced D-4S technology is able to provide the best thermal efficiency, thus producing strong power output and torque. The maximum power issue can reach 235 PS at 7,000 rpm and the peak torque of 250 Nm at 3,700 rpm is proof of how entertaining the engine's performance is. New GR86 utilizes rear wheels (RWD) drivers.

In addition, to reinforce the rate feeling, in 6-speed manual transmission, the Engine Torque Control is modified in order to be able to provide an easy and clear signal of gear displacement to the driver. In addition, a shuttle control has been adopted to get a more alert acceleration response and improve performance at high speeds. At 6-speed automatic transmission, machine spin tolerance when lowering transmission gear (downshift), has been raised to keep maximum torques more easily achieved once the gas pedal is stepped on again. Supported wider torque coverage, allows for a more sporty driving force even though it only relies on automatic transmission.

New GR86 continues to apply front engine and RWD layouts that adopt the style of Toyota's classic sports car with the characteristics of longer engine space, lower shoulder parallel to the engine hood line, compact cabin, and wide body. The difference is, the elegant Moss Green flow replaces Oasis Blue along with 6 other color choices.

Entering the cabin, an increase in style is obtained from the Automatic Interior Light Off Function which is active when the door is opened and closed, the light lever is sein with a lock when operated, and the stitches on the bench are changed from red to black. Furthermore, New GR 86 is pinned with the latest version of T Intouch which has internet access.

Give a more sporty and dynamic look, customers can install a Toyota Customization Option (TCO) specifically for New GR86. TCO provides opportunities for customers who want to look different in order to order various accessories customization with guaranteed quality.

Special for New GR86, available TCO are GR Sports Muffler, GR Aero Stabilizing Cover, GR Sports Side Visor, GR Interior Panel Set, GR Knee Pad, and GR Sun Shade. PT TAM also provides a T-CARE program where customers do not need to think about periodic service fees to the 7th periodic service (maximum 3 years/ 60,000 km), plus extended warning for 1 year or 20,000 km.

Run the philosophy of Roads build people, and people build cars, GR get valuable input from racers who compete in extreme racing environments and do not recognize compromise. Adapt well to road and circuit characters in various countries, making New GR86 popular as a sports car that presents a unique driving experience, with natural intuitive and response handling, amazing engine performance, and extraordinary agility at the peak of its performance," concluded Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM), Anton Jimmi Suwandy.
