The Toyota GR86 is the latest version of the Toyota GT86, which was inspired by the Toyota AE86 of the ‘80s.

is making a to commemorate ten years since the release of the . The Toyota GR86 “” (link in Japanese) will come with an orange paint finish familiar to fans of the original , released in 2012. The special edition GR86 is being released for the Japanese market, and Toyota is only taking preorders for a limited time: from July 24 through September 30.

The giveaway to the commemorative GR86 being a Japan-only model is the . The car’s full model name — the one Toyota 86 enthusiasts in Japan must list on the preorder — is the Toyota GR86 RZ 10th Anniversary Limited. And I’d write the carmaker’s color, “Flame Orange,” on the form, too.

There’s not much else making this anniversary GR86 different from other Toyota GR86 RZ models in Japan. It’ll have the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 232 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It can also be ordered with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Toyota didn’t say how many of its anniversary GR86 models will be made. Subaru is making 200 limited edition BRZs — which will cost less than the limited edition GR86 — and preorders are open from July 28 through September 30.

The starts at ¥3,469,000 or about $25,490 at current exchange rates. That’s for a limited-edition model with six-speed manual transmission; the automatic transmission costs an extra $1,198. The starting price of the anniversary GR86 is ¥20,000 more than a regular RZ , or less than a $150.00 difference. Not a bad premium for that orange paint.

Toyota is releasing a similar model in the U.S. called the . It’s not quite the same car; the U.S.-spec GR86 SE lacks anniversary embroidery, but at least it’s orange and it comes with a louder exhaust.
