i like the voice of the interpreter.

That video is shot at the toyota museum, its in a giant shopping arcade on a man-made island just out of tokyo. Didn't pick it at first but when I saw that Rally spec celica I realised it. Just behind that celica in the museum you can see toyota mechanics up to their elbows in the guts of some of toyota's finest machinery... tis a magic place. The road is so narrow because I believe that's the track they normally run a "car of tomorrow" on. Little ride along thing... might be confusing that with honda's museum though... but yer, definately not a race track. Would be absolute torture for the people in for the ride, nowhere near enough room to really stretch the cars legs.

I'm guessing I'm not the only person waiting for some aftermarket pipes to be fitted to a GT-86... it sounds like the engine's got promise, but its too muffled to hear it properly.

btw, I know there's a gunmetal grey one running around with the TRD body kit on, does anyone have video of it? I'm hoping its gonna be running the TRD quad exhaust, but I've only seen pics of the front so far. Four tips for a four pot is a bit naff... but man that car looks good in that spec... I know what options I'm gonna be ticking... means I'll be right down the end of the waiting list when its released tho :(

Did you notice that everyone goes out of the 86 with a big smile? haha :w00t:

Not sure who driver is.

Pretty sloppy driving in that last vid -those full-throttle upshifts are a really bad practice and terrible for the car.

I don't know if someone play this video. this video is interesting because he is driving the automatic FT86.

Kind of impressed by that automatic.. The reviews make it sound slower than it appears to be.

yeah, i think motor journalists are spoiled because they are comparing this AT to ferrari, porsche, and other supercar DCTs. it looks PLENTY quick in both upshifts and downshifts. the only problem i see, that was mentioned in multiple reviews, is that the tranny will NOT allow downshifts that would result in redline (or close) in the next lower gear. if you look at the vid, it looks like the driver tries to downshift a few times at 5000 rpm. the AT wouldnt let him and he had to wait until about 4000 rpm before it allowed a downshift. kind of a bummer, but totally understandable.

I don't know if you guys see this one..

Dunno if this was here, its seems like a longer version of one of the previous videos (Toyota 86 The Movie).

It shows the test driver guy standing next to the Chief engineer and he's a friggin midget. He's only up toTetsuya's shoulders! Makes him look damn tiny in the car.

Various portions of the vid you can see the rear seating space with him in it, but its still hard to tell how much space there really is (it doesnt look like much). He even tries the automatic (you can hear the downshifts) and theres even specs with numbers at the end (need japanese translations!)

Hello everybody!! I found a new wonderful drift video yesterday !!!:w00t:
