I know some of you have really enjoyed the GT86, well there is a special edition on the horizon. It's a numbered run, with full leather; front heated, seats. Sporting a set of embossed anthracite 18's the body is a striking White pearl. What do you think?

 

 

 

Full Release:

Toyota has topped off its revised GT86 range with a new special edition model, the GT86 Blanco, a car that delivers all of the coupe’s acclaimed handling and performance plus an extra dash of one-off style.

 

True to its name, the new Blanco is finished in GT White Pearl pearlescent paint with contrasting sports decals in a combination of red and grey. A stripe decal runs up from the nose and across the bonnet and roof, matched by a GT86 twin-stripe along the sills. The front lip and rear diffuser are edged in red and red and grey flashes adorn the door mirrors.

 

The dedicated 18-inch alloys have a slim 10-spoke design, finished in Anthracite and embossed with the GT86 name. In the cabin the sports seats have full leather upholstery and, for the front seats, heaters. Each car features its own numbered plaque on the centre console, recording its place in the special edition production run.

 

Customers can add to their car’s specification with a nine-speaker JBL sound system and the Toyota Touch and Go touchscreen-controlled multimedia and navigation package.

 

The look may be different, but there is no change to the supreme balance and rewarding handling that continue to earn the 2+2 coupe critical plaudits. The car’s low centre of gravity and unique combination of a compact, naturally aspirated, front-mounted 2.0-litre boxer engine with rear-wheel drive deliver classic sports car performance, at an affordable price.

 

The new Blanco joins the recently revised range alongside the GT86 Primo, GT86 and GT86 Aero. It is on sale from 1 July, priced £28,500, with first deliveries to customers from 1 August.

Personally, the stripes or at least both of the stripes don't work. I'd be dropping the bonnet and boot lines, everything else, yes.

looked closely at getting one of these, but head overruled heart and I got something more fuel efficient.

 

On paper they don't seem special, but apparently they are an awesome road car

I like the choices on offer.

Those stripes remind me of some that get fitted to Porsches.

I like them but then again, I'm a chav at heart.

I like the stripes. I think it's a great looking car. Fun to drive too but if I had one I would be modding it within a few months.

I like that a lot. Even the stripes. I feel a bit dirty.

Alan and I had a look at one before he bought his VW...Really nice car...BUT.....

 

....the Salesman was a total prat and wouldnt give him a test drive....Maybe that's just Toyota

In fairness tuat salesmen are available for all major brands.

It looks OK but I think I would be just as happy with the Primo version and save £5.5k on the Blanco list price. You still get LSD,air con and multi media with Bluetooth.   :sun:  

Owner of a BRZ se here, base spec for the Subaru version.

I agree with above post primo would be great, but it's a bit pricey

I wanted xenons, but would be happy not to have keyless entry and push button start. Std air con would be fine too. Best of all it has 16"wheels and tyres that are lighter, more options on tyres etc

The boot looks good without a spoiler too

Great car, still not run in but we like ours a lot

Standard car is renowned for handling, fun.

Previous special editions with bigger wheels have been criticised for upsetting the car's balance.
