Also, if the next gen 86 is coming in 2019, shouldn't we be seeing test mules out?

The LFA project chief test driver Hiromu Naruse died back in 2010 while driving on the wrong side of the road and hit an oncoming Bimmer IIRC. The irony.

Geez, what a pedigree, touching everything from the first Sports 800 to likely the first test mules for the 86. If he's a talker I bet a day on a test track with a fleet of cars would have been a brilliant movie.

Here is a picture of Naruse's "Top Gun" team comprised of the best 8 test drivers out of a group of 300 technical personnel responsible for testing and development, himself and the CEO are part of this team. And that's a fleet of Mk4 Supras on a test track for a day but it wasn't a movie.

Just paste the URL in directly (has to be the full one with www.youtube.com in it, just copy out of the address line of the browser).

If I'm going to watch a Toyota vehicle doing donuts though, I'm going to watch this one from 4 years ago...

Supra looks surprised.

i like the rendering, but i still think there will be an air vent in front of the rear wheels. based on the latest spy shots there is a panel by the door area to hide something.
