Each car has been specially wrapped by Motor Mode and boasts elements from the original car, but fitted to the GT86’s proportions. Apart from the liveries, each GT86 has been lowered by 40 mm and sports unique Rota wheels. Also, a Milltek Sport stainless steel exhaust system completes the package for the six cars.

The GT86s here are a throwback to a pair of the Toyota 2000GT,  Ove Andersson’s 1970s Celica 1600GT rally car, IMSA GTU Celica that raced in North America in the 1980s, World Rally Championship Celica GT-Four and the Esso Ultron Tiger Supra.

The cars will be available for public to test drive during the Goodwood Festival of Speed Moving Motor Show on 25 June. The cars will then be on display at the Goodwood racing circuit, supporting the hugely popular GT86 Drift Experience.
