DAMN THAT THING IS SEXY!!!!!!

That will create some down force on the front and rear of that 86. I'll bet that thing hugs the ground.

That has to be a tube chassis under there for the wheels to be that large similar to Super GT cars.

Yeah calling that a GT86 is a stretch.

I wonder if that's similar to the BRZ GT300 chassis.

You guys are ruining it for me. It's like sitting at the strip club watching the hottest girl you've ever seen and then some huge fat guy walks on stage. That's what you both just did. I hope you're happy now.

Wow, that's an awful tease, considering the GT86 costs ~$80,000 after import duties in Thailand. Poor bastards!

Thaaaaaaaat is beautiful... but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a GT86. Like the way you don't call a Ford Fusion nascar a Fusion.

I am going to call it a GT86 no matter what all of you debby downers say. It is awesome looking. If only my commute only consisted of a private road course directly from my front door to work. I would certainly have this as a DD.

The graphics on the car looks so tacked on. They spent all this time making the body looks nice then just slap on some stickers.

Nothing about that car looks appealing at all

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
