Toyota 86 tuned by GAZOO Racing for Tokyo debut

06grmngt-86platinum

Much has been said about the Toyota 86, including its poise, balance and dynamism – and how a little more under-bonnet brawn would do it no harm. Well, Japanese fettlers GAZOO Racing have released some teaser images of their take on the 86, daintily christened the GRMN Sports FR Concept Platinum.

An evolution of last year’s GRMN Sports FR Concept, the car gets a supercharger added to its 2.0 litre flat-four, resulting in 330 hp and 431 Nm of torque. The pics tease little – we can see a rear wing, unique headlamps, tail lamps that echo those of the Mk IV Supra, an aerokit and some eight-spoke 18-inch alloys. We can expect the interior to be given the race-inspired treatment as well.

GAZOO Racing will be bringing this to the Tokyo Auto Salon, so we’ll undoubtedly have more details in two weeks’ time.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
