That would be hilarious, though i can't really see toyota doing that.....maybe honda but not toyota.

If this is some crazy magic Toyota e-brake lever that makes it easier to drift, I'm gonna be yanking this more than I will be pushing in the middle pedal. WOO!

Hm... Sounds interesting, but I don't think it's gonna be like that in final ver (that's my guess). As for my guess on the second caliper, that's their 2nd option for putting the rear calipers. So instead of having the rear calipers on the back have it on the front.

For GT5 pic, don't forget, they just leave it as is & make the vid. If FT86c had a Hello Kitty Calipers, I'm pretty sure they'll keep that in the vid too.

And I would keep it in my car.
If this is an option, I would pay more for it.

maybe you guys didn't hear me: it's a PARKING BRAKE caliper. they didn't want to go through the hassle of running parking brake cables, which are less flexible than hydraulic lines, so they used a hydraulic parking brake. end of story. :)

Indeed.. its pretty standard procedure for manufacturers to use a second rear 'spot' caliper for the parking brake.

If it were for drifting, why is it so small?
