Toyota is currently on a roll, slapping its Gazoo Racing badge on new models, including on the Yaris, creating the stonking little Toyota GR Yaris in the process. Now, if a report from overseas is to be believed, then it looks like the next recipient of the hallowed GR badging is the next-generation Toyota 86.
