Case Study

Summer of '86.

A fleet of six GT86 coupes were finished in one-off classic liveries celebrating great Toyota race and rally cars of the past and vehicle vinyl specialist Motor Mode UK were given the task of reproducing key elements from the original liveries in the right proportions for the GT86.

Many of the qualities that make the GT86 an exceptional modern sports car are rooted in generations of classic performance Toyotas, from its great handling to its timeless, low-slung styling. In a tribute to some of the great race and rally cars of the past 50 years, a fleet of six GT86 has been transformed with faithfully recreated classic liveries and retro styling details.

Each car is inspired by a different model. They include two sporting versions of Toyota’s original sports car, the 2000GT, and Ove Andersson’s 1970s Celica 1600GT rally car – the machine that helped inspire Toyota to launch a full international motorsports programme. The IMSA GTU Celica that raced in North America in the 1980s, the World Rally Championship Celica GT-Four and the Esso Ultron Tiger Supra from the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship are also celebrated. All expertly re-interpreted by Motor Mode UK.
