I still cant supress the urge to think s2000 with flat hood (because of camo) and the curviture on the front

I'm guessing those are the aero kit pieces.... and there's no way in hell I'll be adding that spoiler.

[A-Spike]

Is it me or they wanted to make it pass by as a BMW? The camo looks like the one used by BWM and those tail lights have some of the old Z4 in them.

Very cool, the wing is a bit big/high IMO but still cool

[bofa]

Sorry, can't stop thinking about that wing... I sincerely hope it's optional, and really hope that part never makes it into production. Yeah, I know, the Supra had it.. but this ain't the Supra. Not enough beef under the hood unless they want to unleash the STi motor, and I'd still not want it. Just my 2 cents.


Edit: Thanks for the email notifications btw - always nice to see new pics. Keep em coming!

don't like this kit

for me, a real beautiful car don't need anything to be beautiful (especially a huge ugly wing)

Its the Toyota, not Subaru according to Toyota UK!

Woah, that rear wing is out of control looking!

The fact that they're trying aero bits in the real world means they're either verifying this accessory body kit, or they're starting to struggle with the cars' aero balance at higher speeds. TRDliquidsilver did mention they're having trouble with the car snap oversteering when driven "incorrectly". Perhaps they're testing the aero bits to see if it's a useful improvement.

It appears they've abandon the use of a functional rear diffuser. You can see in the rear shots there is no underbody pan and the little add-on pieces are only creating turbulence if there is laminar flow behind the rear axle.

Oh FWIW to the OP; it's customary and courteous to blur out the vehicle occupants identities.

The back brake light inside of the car (first pic) indicates that this is not a hatch/liftback. No hatchback has this kind of a rear brake light. It's either on top of the window or outside, because the middle shelf in the hatchbacks can be removed - therefore you also remove the brake light.

Whilst I agree its not a hatch, take a look at the MK1 Audi TT. Brake light is in the same place and that is a hatch/liftback...

I have a feeling we will see a lot of this once in production. Those new to RWD better it.

Looks like a Toyobaru to me
