Toyota's 86 860 Special Edition promises pure driving pleasure

Special-edition model only comes in two colors -- I like Supernova Orange best.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

The rear features a black wing, all in the name of better aero and more aggressive looks.

Although offered in an automatic, the six-speed manual transmission is the better choice.

Supportive black leather seats gain contrasting stitching as part of the special edition package.

The 880's heated seats are welcome additions for those in colder climates.
