Toyota’s GT86 Living Up To “Fun To Drive” Reputation

Aug 1, 2014

The Toyota GT86 is having no problem living up to its “fun to drive” reputation, and has become even more exciting after German Drifter Harald Muller was able to drift the car for 2 hours and 25 minutes for a distance of 89.55 miles.

Muller now holds the world record for drifting that was held by the BMW M5, which traveled for 51 miles in South Carolina last year. This year’s record attempt (and success) took place in Samsun, Turkey where 612 laps were completed by Muller on a watered circuit of slippery tarmac. There is some debate among sport enthusiasts if the wet track allows some sort of advantage, however Guinness World Records saw no issue.
