Showcasing the performance of the new GR86.
Toyota has teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi Australia and Publicis Communications Australia in a new integrated campaign.
The campaign showcases the performance of the new GR86 with the help of Harry Bates, Australian Rally Champion and Linh Dang, Drift Specialist.
It also reveals how the GR86 thrives on contradictions: it’s a performance car that’s also fun to drive at low speeds and it’s affordable while also looking great.
The campaign is set to roll out across key channels including broadcast, digital and in-store.
Toyota Australia chief marketing officer Vin Naidoo said: “Since the Toyota 86 launched in 2012, it’s held a special place in the hearts of performance car enthusiasts, not only in Australia but across the globe.
"The all-new GR86 builds on this heritage with wholesale improvements that take its motorsport roots to new levels, making it more than worthy of a TOYOTA GAZOO Racing badge. We can’t wait for owners to experience the thrill and excitement of the GR86.”
Simon Bagnasco, head of creativity, Saatchi & Saatchi Australia, said: “We knew the GR86 was going to be a great vehicle. We didn’t realise how great until we saw Harry Bates behind the wheel.”
