This coming weekend will see the 86th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Which is more than a good enough reason to justify these vibrantly decorated GT86s. Toyota is yet to win a Le Mans 24 Hours outright, and after years of disappointment, it"ll be hoping 2018 is finally its year. Its lack of success hasn"t made the cars it"s entered any less iconic, though, and three of them are paid homage to here. The blue car pays tribute to the 1992 Toyota TS010, two examples of which finished the race, one of them in second place. Much like the two Peugeots surrounding it on the podium, it had a howling V10 engine. Its GT86 lookalike sticks with a four-cylinder engine, but at least has an aftermarket Milltek exhaust to make it sound a little fruitier.
