Experience pure driving adrenaline with the new 2026 Toyota GR86, now available at Toyota of Lincoln Park. As the purest sports car in the Toyota Gazoo Racing lineup, the 2026 GR86 is engineered for those who crave a visceral connection to the road. This year, the GR86 receives sharpened handling through retuned shock absorbers and improved electric power steering feel, making it more responsive than ever. Whether you're carving through the curves of Sheridan Road or enjoying a spirited drive out to Autobahn Country Club, the GR86 delivers an authentic rear-wheel-drive experience that is increasingly rare in the modern era.

Interior

The interior of the 2026 Toyota GR86 is a driver-focused cockpit where every control is positioned for maximum engagement. The cabin features a standard 7-inch Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) digital gauge cluster that transforms its layout in Track Mode to highlight a linear tachometer and shift lights. There's tactile toggle switches and aluminum sport pedals that provide a race-ready feel from the moment you settle into the deeply bolstered sport seats.

While performance is the priority, the GR86 doesn't skimp on modern connectivity. An 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Premium trims enhance the atmosphere with Ultrasuede® upholstery, leather-trimmed bolsters, and an 8-speaker audio system. For added practicality during your Chicago adventures, the rear seats fold flat to accommodate an extra set of track-day tires or weekend luggage, proving that a dedicated sports car can still handle the demands of daily life.

Exterior

The 2026 Toyota GR86 commands attention with its classic sports car proportions—a long hood, short rear deck, and a low-slung profile. Its aerodynamic design is rooted in Gazoo Racing's motorsport expertise, featuring functional front-fender air vents that channel airflow to enhance stability. The 2026 model year introduces the striking Yuzu Edition, finished in an exclusive Yuzu Yellow paint with matte-black 18-inch wheels and a color-keyed duckbill rear spoiler. With its signature "G-mesh" grille and LED projector headlights, the GR86 looks fast even when parked on a busy street in Lincoln Park.

Performance

At the heart of the 2026 GR86 is a 2.4L naturally aspirated horizontally opposed four-cylinder boxer engine, delivering a punchy 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Because the engine sits low in the chassis, the GR86 boasts a near-perfect center of gravity for exceptional balance. Drivers can choose between a crisp 6-speed manual transmission for total control or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management. Standard on every model is a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential, ensuring that power is distributed effectively to the rear wheels for maximum grip through every Chicago corner.

Explore the Trims:

The 2026 Toyota GR86 offers three distinct trims, each designed to deliver a unique level of track-ready performance:

• GR86 (Base): The pure enthusiast choice with 17-inch alloy wheels, Michelin® Primacy HP® tires, and the 7-inch digital gauge cluster.

Safety Features
