Story

The third global model from "GR". It kept the strength of a "lightweight, compact, low-center-of-gravity engine" while greatly raising body rigidity over the previous model.

Stories

01

A designer who lived at Subaru for half a year

For the new GR86, Toyota GAZOO Racing handled vehicle planning and design, and Subaru handled engineering and evaluation. So that the two companies could communicate more easily, a Toyota designer was stationed at Subaru's design development facility for about half a year, and the development team was semi-stationed at Subaru's technical center as they built it.
