Toyota GT86 Aero: Pic Of The Week

The bespoilered GT86 wings its way into POTW...



It's not every day we get to play around with fancy camera gear at PistonHeads. So when the offer came to use a new photography rig recently it wasn't going to be refused.

It was during our time with the Toyota GT86 Aero, a car that certainly doesn't require special photography to be noticed. It's that spoiler that draws most of the attention, whether positive or negative, so what better aspect to focus on?

Hopefully you will agree the result is fairly incredible! Everyone has an opinion one way or the other on the GT86, but the Aero's wild looks certainly make for a great wallpaper.

I agree, that result is barely credible.

Reminds of the Celica 190 and GT4 with the optional (or special edition?!) high rise wing. It's trying a bit hard to be noticed with no benefit, so I'd rather have the more subtle standard wing. Some people will like it, but it's not for me.

I have the celica 190 (GT) you're talking about that has the TRD wing and even I don't like this GT86 aero wing.

Horrible. These look best with no spoiler imo.

Err... Fisheye lens at a corner making its bum look bigger than it is, at the back corner too, emphasising the worst bits of the car - the silly spoiler and those God awful lights. Can't say I can agree PH.

However the GT86 can look cracking with a ducktail and red film over the lights. This is the Fiveaxis body kit, in the US you can drive your car out of the dealership like this (besides the lights) & roll the cost into your monthlies. Hubba.


Wish Toyota UK would offer this instead of the Aero... Oh well, at least they'll sell you a car without that ghastly spoiler now, in addition to saving yourself the £200 to get it removed the car itself is a few grand cheaper...!
