To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Toyota Corolla AE86, which was launched back in 1983, the Japanese carmaker has released a special version of the GR86 called the 40th Anniversary Limited. Only 200 units will be offered in Japan, and customers there will need to go through a lottery system for a chance to buy one.
The GR86 40th Anniversary Limited is based on the existing RZ grade and comes in just two colours: Spark Red or Crystal White Pearl. Both options are paired with special decals that hark bark to the red/black and white/black two-tone theme of the AE86.
The interior door trims also come with a ‘Since 1983 40th’ embroidery to remind occupants they are in something special, with the script also applied to the floor mats. The retail price of the commemorative model is 3.822 million yen (RM120,882) for the six-speed manual version, while the six-speed automatic costs more at 3.92 million yen (RM123,982).
The regular GR86 also gets a number of updates, starting with standard fitment of Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance suite, which now includes autonomous emergency braking, on manual transmission variants (previously automatic only).
Other revisions include optional blind spot monitoring for the lower SZ grade (it is standard on the higher RZ grade) and optimised VSC control for better driving stability and safety performance. Toyota also changed the electronic throttle output characteristics for improved controllability and now offers Brembo brakes as well as Sachs dampers as an option for SZ grades and higher – these come as standard on the 40th Anniversary Limited.
The SZ grade of the GR86 is priced at 3.153 million yen (RM99,722) for the manual and 3.251 million yen (RM102,790) for the automatic, while the RZ is 3.476 million yen (RM109,912) for the manual and 3.574 million yen (RM113,010) for the automatic.

If a legend can be “Recreated”
Then legend is not a “Legend”
(Like) Toyota GR86 rm121k
(Dislike) Honda Civic RS RM144K
GR86 in Malaysia is going for around RM 300k. The 121k price tag is converted from Japan local pricing
A price we can dream of here in Malaysia
Title fool me. GR86 for 121k!!!
Yup try calculating after excise fren

The price will be used car after 10year from japan
meanwhile, come to malaysia becoming “limited edition” selling price @ 350k RM
wah why so damn cheap there and here selling like sohai price….haha…
like that rakyat here all pay like sohai for all damn cars…
Rakyat sohai don’t want to go live in Japan
high income nation but car cheap, we all low income nation but car mahal. thankiu inflation syukur rm 15 wan tan mee right?
Not really inflation la, it all started from a mamak with the last name by Kutty to protect crony company so that they can sell more rebadge cars during the 80s.
high in come but car cheap is nothing to do with inflation. It is because their ministers are not OKU robbing from their rakyat using tax and AP. Too bad in Malaysia we don’t have the best genetics making policies. We have OKU that only knows how to keep the government afloat by making money from their own people. Its a no brainer
C’mon please don’t put this kind of headlines…. RM121k is before taxes! Current GR86 is already RM300k
Apa ini?? Limited edition only in Japan but peasants unit send to Malaysia?? Time to boycott Jepun
Gents, don’t complain too much on the cheap price for Toyota GR86 in Japan. Here in Malaysia the tax is 3X so the price shoots up sky high especially for luxury sports cars like this one although in Japan it can be considered average bread and butter cars. There’s always the affordable Perodua Myvi where speedsters can modify to drive like GR86.
