The 2026 Toyota GR86 Yuzu Special Edition is here, bringing a bold splash of color and performance enhancements to Toyota’s beloved sports coupe. Toyota is keeping the GR86 fresh with limited-edition releases, and this latest version pays homage to the past while delivering modern performance upgrades.
A Retro Revival with a Bold Yellow Hue
The Yuzu Special Edition gets its name from its eye-catching yellow paint, a color that traces back to the 2015 Scion FR-S Series 1.0. This vibrant shade ensures the GR86 Yuzu stands out on the road while adding a touch of nostalgia for Toyota sports car enthusiasts.
Beyond the paint, the yellow theme extends inside, with yellow-accented stitching on the steering wheel, handbrake handle, and door padding. The black suede seat upholstery also features yellow accents, creating a stylish contrast with the 18-inch matte black wheels.
Performance Upgrades & Features
The 2026 GR86 Yuzu Special Edition isn’t just about looks—it comes with Toyota’s Performance Package as standard. This package includes:
- Brembo front and rear brakes for superior stopping power
- SACHS shock absorbers for improved handling and ride quality
These upgrades, previously available as dealer-installed options, come factory-equipped on the Yuzu edition, making it one of the most refined GR86 models yet.
Under the hood, the 2.4-liter flat-four engine remains unchanged, delivering 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
Limited Production & Release Date
Toyota will produce only 860 units of the GR86 Yuzu Special Edition for the U.S. market, making it a rare sight on the roads. Expect the 2026 GR86 lineup, including the Yuzu edition, to go on sale in late 2025, with pricing and additional details to be announced closer to launch.
For sports car fans and collectors, the Toyota GR86 Yuzu Special Edition is set to be a standout offering in 2026. Stay tuned for more updates!
