Toyota AE86 vs GT 86 video

We pit the all-new Toyota GT 86 against the legendary AE86 of the 80s

Toyota GT86 vs AE 86 video

The new Toyota GT 86 has already been praised as a true drivers car. But with a power output of just 198bhp, it’s not the most powerful rear-wheel-drive sports car on sale. So what makes it so great?

Toyota has taken inspiration from the original Corolla AE86 – a basic, lightweight and low-powered coupe. Watch the video to see if the new GT 86 can live up to the 80s cult classic.
