Toyota released a new variant of the 86 and it is called the Toyota 86 style Cb. Available for booking come April, the car is only meant for sale in Japan and is targeted at the fairer sex. Previewed as a concept at the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon, the front of the 86 style Cb looks more rounded now and is said to be inspired by Zagato, an independent coach building company whose last car was a 2014 Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato.

Mechanically, the car remains unchanged with the 2.0-litre Naturally aspirated FA20 flat four engine still pushing out 197bhp and buyers can go for either a manual or automatic transmission.

Inside, the dashboard receives a new wood grain that is supposed to mimic 'high end audio components'. The instrumental clusters get a new design while the steering wheel now feature a new 'Cb' emblem.

Available in five colours including two double tone paint job, the car is estimated to cost around S$47,000 in Japan while the normal 86 cost under S$35,000.
