So far, it's not just fancy graphics, this special edition also gets enhancements and additional options. In terms of performance, the GR86 Trueno Edition is improved in terms of comfort and control. Apart from the obvious visual changes, Toyota has also embedded the dampers of ZF Sachs. The dampers rely on nitrogen and oil to absorb vibrations, maximize contact with the asphalt and improve handling stability.
