The Toyota GR 86 is noted for its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and motorsport-influenced aerodynamics. Released in April 2021, the production car is powered by a 2.4-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder producing 235 horsepower. Tamiya's kit aims to reflect the GR 86 aesthetic with careful scale accuracy.
This 1/24 scale model offers a faithful interpretation of the GR 86 profile. With measurements of 178mm length, 74mm width and 55mm height, the kit keeps true to the car's compact proportions. It includes separate parts for fender vents, an engine bay beneath an openable bonnet and convincingly modelled suspension on the chassis block.
Detailing aids include metal transfers for mirror glass and metal-plated parts for taillight surrounds and the exhaust tip. The supplied black 10-spoke wheels with synthetic rubber tyres enhance the finished appearance. Careful use of fine tools and appropriate paints will help accentuate the model's finer features.
