VIDEO: GRIFFON TRD FT86 CONCEPT, WORK OF ART !
Quote:
The TRD Griffon is made with track day use in mind. Although a bit more power and torque would have been handy, the 2.0-liter boxer engine hasn’t been modified; instead, all efforts in improving the 86 have been focused on weight reduction, chassis reinforcement and racing-spec accessories.

Keeping the original bodywork’s shape, the hood, roof, doors, trunk and rear wing have been replaced by carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts, the front and rear bumpers, wider front wings and rear diffuser are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and all the glasshouse, except for the windscreen, are made of polycarbonate, all in the name of reducing weight.

The cabin is fitted with Toyota Racing Development-sourced bucket seat, shift knob, ignition button, oil temperature and pressure and water temperature gauges, as well as a Momo steering wheel and Takata seat belts.

Gazoo Racing may have left the flat-four well alone but it has upgraded most other components. The stock car’s Torsen limited-slip differential has been replaced by a TRD mechanical LSD, the front and rear suspension has been reinforced and featues KW shock absorbers and springs and the final gear ratio has been shortened to 4.8:1. There’s also a differential oil cooler and a TRD monobloc caliper kit with the original Brembo brake pads and RAYS 18-inch wheels with Yokohama Advan rubber.

Toyota may claim that the modern-day hachiroku is not about horsepower but pure driver fun, however, truth to be told, there’s no such thing as “enough” power.

I love the look, the effort that went into this car, and the fact it is NA. I have watched the track record video a couple of times.. That car sounds so good. This is my favorite race car design so far, and there are many goods ones out there.
