Understandably, Toyota is excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Toyota Corolla AE86 that was launched all the way back in 1983. To do so, it skipped the candles and heartfelt speeches but has instead done so in true petrolhead fashion by releasing a special version of the car’s modern successor, the GR86.

Following leaks, Kodansha; the publisher of both series, has released a teaser

Every year, on June 6, the Fuji Speedway racing circuit plays host to the aptly-named 'Fuji 86 Style with BRZ'. Obviously this 'Fuji 86 Style with BRZ' festival is to celebrate the 2022 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ, both of whom have now received second-generation successors.
