It"ll take only minor knowledge of Japanese car culture to understand why this GT86 special is cool. Named the Toyota 86 Hakone Edition, it"s named after the Hakone Turnpike, one of Japan"s most iconic and revered driving roads. Oh, and it"s a special edition for America, hence the wanton dropping of GT" from its name. If there"s an overwhelming feeling of familiarity, that"s because we"ve kinda seen this car before. Back in February, the Japanese market got a special-run 86 called the British Green Limited, painted of course a British Racing Green hue that was complimented nicely by tan seats and gold wheels. This one, however is painted a Hakone Green hue that"s complimented nicely by tan seats and gold wheels. Hakone Green isn"t the same as British Racing Green. This definitely isn"t the same car rebranded for a different market. No siree.
