4 Reasons to Get Excited About the 2017 Toyota GT

2017 toyota gt for sale in chesapeake va
Toyota is phasing out its Scion vehicles, but the sporty, sleek FR-S is getting a brand new name and is staying around for interested buyers. The 2017 Toyota GT is a flashy car that is attracting a lot of attention.

Exterior Restyling

It may look familiar to fans of the Scion model, but the Toyota GT, also known as the Toyota 86, has a few new features to show off. Toyota showcased the vehicle at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. It includes new exterior features like updated LED turn signals and headlamps, a modified bumper, and a grille that aligns with other vehicles in the Toyota lineup. On the rear of the car, you will notice a brand new look that includes a differently shaped bumper and LED tail lamps to complement the other LED lighting aspects on the front. The headlamps also incorporate the "86" logos, near the fenders, and a number of other elements throughout the interior and exterior stylings tie in the "86" theme.

Improved Handling

No sports car is complete without improved driving features that make it more fun to take out on the road. The 2017 Toyota GT will have a four-cylinder 2.0-liter engine beneath its hood that is capable of producing 196 pound-feet of torque and 205 horsepower. This marks a slight increase in both categories over the previous output capability from the engine that was in the Scion. Toyota will pair this engine with a six-speed manual transmission as a standard feature, or buyers can choose to upgrade to a six-speed automatic transmission. The automatic transmission includes paddle shifters on the steering wheel. This car will also showcase an improved chassis and shock absorbers to provide a better transient response when out on the road.

Sleek Interior

Toyota designers also made some major improvements to the inside of the vehicle. "Grandlux" materials help create a soft and comfortable interior, which is quite an upgrade from the previously used plastics. The seats in the car also have a more stylish and softer feel, complemented by silver stitching. The steering wheel hub also shows off the name of the vehicle, 86.

Showcase in Formula Drift

Toyota also announced that it would feature the new 86 model in Formula Drift with drivers Ryan Tuerck and Ken Gushi defending Toyota's title in the 2015 Manufacturers' Championship. The event will also showcase the new features of the 2017 Toyota 86, with series champion Frederic Aasbo also appearing at Formula Drift. Interested buyers should expect to see this stylish new vehicle on dealership lots by fall 2016, so keep an eye out if you're looking to buy a new sports car. This 2017 Toyota 86 is a great option among those who want to drive something different but love the reliability and functionality of cars within the Toyota lineup. Be sure to make a plan to take one out for a test drive as soon as it becomes available in your area. Image via Flickr by Iawo
