Key Points:
- Toyota and Subaru have released nearly identical special editions of their GR86 and BRZ sports cars, named the Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition and Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow, both featuring similar yellow paint colors.
- Both cars share a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, but the GR86 Yuzu offers both a six-speed manual and an automatic transmission, while the BRZ Series.Yellow is manual-only.
- Visual distinctions include slightly different front grilles and black trim; Toyota offers additional upgrades like the GR Aero Kit and a quad-tip exhaust, which Subaru does not provide.
- Mechanical differences include unique steering and chassis tuning, different suspension dampers (Sachs for Toyota, Hitachi for Subaru), distinct brake caliper colors, and different summer tires, with Toyota also offering optional performance stabilizer bars.
- Toyota plans to build 860 Yuzu Editions priced from $37,560, while Subaru will produce 350 Series.Yellow BRZs costing about $40,555, making the Toyota the more affordable and more widely available option.
