We’re not quite sure if you can make it out, but on the back of that Toyota 86 GTS, if you look very closely, is a rear wing. It’s part of a new factory aero package offered by Toyota dealers, available from today, the official sales launch of the 86 in Australia.
Toyota is asking $3000 for the kit, which also includes a revised front spoiler and side skirts. It’s fancy, too, using words like “dual canards” and “airflow evacuation”. For some reason these add-ons can only be fitted to the high-spec GTS model.
Despite the addition of that, let’s face it, MASSIVE REAR WING, Toyota claim the full aero package reduces drag and increases downforce. Well it would want to do the latter, that’s for sure.
We’re sure there’ll be a lot of 86 fans who think this aero package is the business. But we’re not really sure what else to say.
Toyota offers aero kit for new 86 GTS
Toyota has created a comprehensive aero package for its newly launched 86 GTS sports car.
It is available from today, June 18, in conjunction with the 86 on-sale date.
The package is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase downforce for greater handling stability, while maintaining the vehicle’s wind-cheating 0.27 drag coefficient.
The aero package consists of a new front bumper skirt, side skirts, rear bumper skirt and large rear spoiler.
It is available for $3,000# and is exclusive to the high-grade 86 GTS model (manual and automatic).
The front bumper skirt has vertical fins to control air entering the front grille and dual canards at 12-degree angles to optimise handling stability.
The side skirt design includes a rounded leading edge to assist airflow evacuation from the front wheel housing.
The rear bumper skirt has a profile that projects horizontally, to manage air turbulence from the front and fin and assist in evacuating under-body airflow.
The large rear spoiler features horizontal ‘winglets’ on the uprights, to help generate downforce and optimise handling stability.
The rear spoiler centre section is painted gloss black on all exterior colour offerings.
# Recommended retail prices exclude dealer delivery, government and statutory charges and optional extras.

I’m still yet to find a good picture of that wing, from all angles I’ve seen it looks horrible. 😛
It reminds me of the celica gt4. Looks different but interesting , = cute.
Someone at Toyota should really put the ugly stick down. They way they’re swinging around lately is just stupid.
And this is where the whole 86/BRZ ideal turns to custard 🙁
Next, I’m confident we’ll see an optional set of 22″ bright chrome wheels, with matching 8″ exhaust tips
Wow. Interesting.
Its april fools day. Isn’t it? 🙂 hahahahahaha hah. Where is my bucket.
So this is what my brother told me he saw! Ugly ugly ugly! Somebody please send the Billy Joel CD to Toyota HQ!
Toyota 86 – now with added rice 🙁
This is better.

Yeah TRD is a lot better.
Thank gaud it’s a 3.5K option. Should keep all but the most well heeled ricers away. Till the replicas come out anyway…
Asians and lebos will love this kit. The rest of the normal population just threw up!
@Adam – that’s interesting if the TRD tuned version is different to this one.
That raises the question, who is offering this one? Toyota Unlimited Racing Developments?
The STi department should have been caged by Toyota.
Why not just get the aero kit with out the spoiler problem solved you still get skirts and front bumper lip
The spoiler should be ditched it ruins a nice car and projects an image that Toyota shouldn’t want. The 86 has the ability to look up market or down market color choice and accessories influence the image. If too many of these boy racer add ons are purchased the car’s image will go down-market very quickly. I am interested but I don’t want to drive a car that will be driven by hoons and people with no class at all in the form shown above. This add on knocks thousands off the value of the vehicle.
An add on for hoons and oiks get rid of it..
Just the kind of thing Aston Martin would fit to one of their cars.It could then be driven by James Bond to the nearest five star hotel for a night out. And as he pulls up at the front of the hotel people start falling about laughing. The doorman comes out You are at the wrong place Sir KFC is down the road. This item is called a spoiler because it spoils the car.It’s aerodynamic credentials are dubious around town it’s simply extra weight and of no value except for making the driver look ridiculous.Females wont be impressed Can I give you a lift home?. Err no thanks I’d rather walk But it’s raining out there and you haven’t got an umbrella. I know but I would still rather walk…………
Hey Pete Shut your pie hole… This is about cars not racial discrimination.. go back to the stone age where you belong… Dumbass
