Is this the classiest limited-edition Toyota 86 ever made?

If you are a fan of the traditional sports car (front-engine and rear-wheel-drive), then you will be drooling over the Toyota 86 British Green Limited version, a Japan-only release that driving enthusiasts will appreciate.

This 86 is a cool homage to British sports cars of old. ‘British Racing Green’ was the hue assigned to the country during the early days of international motorsport. Naturally, it was a very popular color choice for MGs and Jaguars from the time period. And no other interior complements BRG better than a tan leather one. Why? Because that’s just the way it is.

Check out the 86 of our dreams, then.

This here is the 86 after every sports car purist’s heart. According to the product page (which we had to Google Translate from Japanese), here’s what lucky owners will get on top of the fantastic paint job, if they opt for the performance package: black and tan leather and alcantara upholstery; tan stitching on the black leather tiller; Brembo brakes on all four corners; 17-inch alloys exclusively designed for this limited-edition run; Sachs dampers; a rear spoiler; and an aerodynamic undertray that smoothens out the airflow beneath the car. Sweet.

The ordering period is only until May 2019. Oh, and did we already mention that this car is only available in Japan? That sucks. We just have to keep on dreaming, then.
