The new Toyota GR86 was introduced in North America in April this year, and is now on display in Europe. The launch on the Old Continent is scheduled for the spring of 2022, but the new GR86 will be available to European buyers for only two years.
Toyota states that the GR86 will not comply with future European safety regulations without significant reengineering, which is why it will not stay on the European market for long.
“We felt the vehicle was so good and so necessary for Toyota’s image of Europe, and we have a small but very passionate group of customers looking for vehicles like the GR86,” said Tom Fux of Toyota Europe. “In the end, we decided that it was important to offer this vehicle, and then we will have to stop the vehicle, because it will not meet the new requirements in the future. But these two years will still provide an opportunity for passionate customers to get a vehicle.”
