FT86 II hits Melbourne, Australian release timeframe too!

Gentlemen,

http://news.toyota.com.au/toyota-to-...n-in-australia

The FT86 II is making its way down to Australia for the Melbourne International Motor Show in July. Furthermore, a time frame of "late 2012, early 2013" has been confirmed for production models to start hitting the show room too.

We were lucky enough to get the FT86 G-Sports in October at the Sydney International Motor Show. To make our motor show scene a bit better they hold them in Sydney and Melbourne in alternating years, so maybe we might see a production version at Sydney in 2012.

Also, *gasms*.

That is all.

I got a friend in Australia that said she was gonna go check this out.

Lucky girl lives pretty close to a track they do F1 at. She was telling me about watching it on TV, they turned down the sound so they could hear the real Cars lol.
