Toyota Canada has added a special edition to its rear-wheel-drive sports coupe. Limited to 50 units, the 86 TRD features, among other upgrades, Brembo brakes, SACHS dampers, a TRD performance exhaust and aero kit, plus some unique styling cues such as Raven black paint and a red-accented interior. All 86 models return with the same flat-four engine that cranks out 205 horsepower with the manual gearbox or an even 200 with the available automatic transmission.
