GR86 Green Ridge [Harkone] Edition

[GRaven]

Green Ridge Edition

My favourite colour, would be perfect for British roads.
Throttle Remap?
Bronze Wheels
Brakes
Suspension?
Interior Stitching (Interesting that it’s Green Ridge in English)
Limited to 200
US Market has never been so lucky
Chefs Kiss

It’s a good job they didn’t film it in overcast conditions and colour grade it so you can’t make much of a judgement on the paint. That would be a travesty!

I saw that this morning.

I really really wish I could have ordered that spec.

Soudns like they have improved the throttle map (and possibly rev hang?) too. The tan on the seats lift the interior a bit too.

The color looks amazing. I would have gone with green. Such a shame it was/is not available here.

There are some more Infos:

don't forget that if it were sold here that this would come with Eyesight gubbins and that it would alert you when you are over the speed limit. I rather forsake those intrusions to be honest

Unpopular opinion: I'm not really a fan of the colour.
Everyone raved about the Gen1 Hakone edition, and I thought it looked a bit...meh. Colour didn't really suit the car, didn't think gold wheels went very well with it, and the red calipers certainly didn't. But it was also a facelift car, and I always felt that the facelift bumper looked crap compared to the prefacelift.

However even now, with the GR....I just don't think the green suits all that well. Perhaps its better in the flesh. I still think a different wheel colour would be better, and still think the red calipers clash too much.

BUT...new throttle mapping? Yes please. Interesting.

I await your hatred.

It says new daytime running lights and TPMS. I'm assuming the TPMS is the same as we already have? From the video the lights look exactly the same as well. I do like the black interior HVAC and TC buttons although they are the same as the BRZ had.

I like the outside, but those seats are not good

EVO article - The new Toyota GR86 is even sharper to drive, but you can’t buy one in the UK

It’s not that kind of forum bruv… share your interest in the new throttle mapping

Looks like the larger JDM head unit as well.

Pond slime green not doing it for me but other bits are interesting.......

Ms Fox has recently received a box of chocolates from a work colleague she has helped out.

I have been told that under no circumstances am I allowed to indulge in any of these chocolates. I - quite simply - cannot have any of them, even if I really really want them.

That is how I feel reading about this Harkone edition.

The throttle mapping has been glorified a bit I reckon. All new GR86s come with a revised throttle map.

I'm with you there! Not only is all that stuff terrible in general, but the version fitted to facelifts of our cars is very janky if US owners are to be believed.

 

[skaben]

I prefer the previous gen green to the new one. It looks a bit flat. It would be interesting to drive a 2024 spec to see if the throttle mapping makes a noticeable difference
