Al-Futtaim Motors, exclusive distributor of Toyota in the UAE, today announced that customers purchasing the MY 2016 boxer-engine rear wheel drive Toyota 86 will now receive the popular TRD sports kit as standard across the Toyota 86 range.
The TRD sports pack offers aesthetic enhancements such as front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts and rear trunk spoiler, giving the 86 TRD a unique, aggressive look. Other interior additions include TRD push start switch and shift knob, adding a sporty yet premium feel to the Toyota 86’s cabin.
Saud Abbasi, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Motors, said: “Since the launch of TRD in the UAE in November of last year, customer feedback has been very positive across the TRD range, and particularly for the Toyota 86, which personifies Toyota’s “Waku-Doki” spirit – Japanese for ‘adrenaline rush’.
“We continue to inject excitement into our products with the launch of the TRD 86 Cup in partnership with Yas Marina Circuit, in addition to our continued support of the region’s premiere drifting team, the TRD Emirates Drifting Team, led by three-time champion driver Ahmed Al Ameri.”
TRD started life as a humble aftermarket parts distributor in 1976, growing to become one of the most celebrated engineering companies in motorsports, producing various tuning products and performance components for Toyota vehicles around the world.
TRD enjoys a heritage built around performance, since Toyota’s participation in its first ever motorsport event almost six decades ago in 1957, to the development and growth of TRD into a motorsport giant around the world.
Prices for the Toyota 86 start at AED 104,900, and all TRD parts come with a 5 year warranty, are genuine and built to GCC specifications to ensure quality and reliability for the life of the car.
