Toyota 860 Special Edition is essentially a limited run 86 sportscar with new cosmetic bits, upgraded equipment and interior changes
Toyota is launching a limited edition version of its 86 sportscar in the United States market. Earlier known as the Scion FR-S, the Toyota 86 is the niche product that has been facing sales decline lately in the US. Back in 2013, the Japanese manufacturer was able to sell 18,000 units which had shrunken to just 7,500 in 2016.
In order to address the sales drop, like any other auto brand would do, Toyota will be entering the 860 Special Edition later this month. The budget sportscar will be limited to 860 units in Halo White and as many in Supernova Orange courtesy of the special edition.
