Having dropped the space between GR and 86, Toyota has now launched the online configurator for their new generation sports car in the United States.
The online tool can be accessed here, and lets users choose between the normal GR86 and the GR86 Premium. Pricing kicks off at $27,700 and $30,300 respectively, excluding destination and handling, for the manual versions, whereas choosing the automatic transmission will bump it to $29,200 and $31,800, respectively.

Subsequent to deciding on whether you want it with the stick shift or the auto ‘box, you will have to choose the exterior paint finish. For this, Toyota has prepared seven colors, and since white is still the world’s most popular shade for cars, we went for it. This is a $425 option, and you can make your 2022 GR86 more expensive by choosing other extras, such as the $699 subwoofer, $169 all-weather floor liners, $230 frameless HomeLink rearview mirror, and others.

With everything installed, Toyota’s new-gen sports car will set you back at least $38,107, and that’s before the destination and handling charge, and dealer fees. Not choosing any of these will still get you a decent amount of equipment. The base model has 17-inch alloys, fabric upholstery, six-way adjustable front seats, 8-inch infotainment system, and six-speaker audio. The Premium brings 18-inch alloys, heated front seats, several silver accents, and more advanced audio. Both get the usual bundle driver assistance gear too.

Powering the 2022 GR86 is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The naturally aspirated unit kicks out 228 hp and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque, a decent improvement over the old 86, which had 205 hp and 156 lb-ft (212 Nm). From 0 to 60 mph (0-97 kph), it needs 6.1 seconds with the manual and 6.6 seconds with the automatic transmission, down from 7.0 and 8.0 seconds, respectively.
