The Toyobaru twins both feature a 2.4-liter boxer four with modest output. Ignoring pleas for turbos (Toyota built some!), both companies instead continue to fiddle with the cars’ chassis with a steady stream of updates and special editions. For 2025, Toyota again leans on drifting lore with the Hakone Edition—the Hakone Turnpike being the setting for many a drift battle, both real and imagined. Hakone the car is a massaged GR86 that’s worth it for the British Racing Green paint alone. The 2024 model year also brought the BRZ tS, which has an STI-tuned chassis featuring new Hitachi front dampers.
How do you decide between the two? Whichever dealer is closest to your house. There’s no time to waste.
