Autocar reports Toyota and Subaru are working on ways to sharpen the GT 86, BRZ and Scion FR-S triplets. While that may mean buyers could see a convertible version of the sports coupe as soon as 2014, engineers are also working on a variety of other improvements, including a new track telemetry system. Using an onboard black box, the gadgetry will record a slew of data from track days. That's nothing new, but the cool part is buyers will then be able to upload and compare their times with other FR-S owners via Sony PlayStation. The report says Toyota is currently working to map major tracks around the world.

There's no word on when the kit will debut, but according to the report, buyers of early models will be able to retrofit their cars with the telemetry system with relative ease. In addition, multiple online tutorials and demonstrations will be available for various tracks.

Heh, I assume you'll need GT5 and whatever track packs are required for those tracks. Suddenly the exclusivity of the GT86/FRS/BRZ platform in GT5 makes so much sense.

Nope, it's gonna be in next GT

As for early model, they already equip w the stuff. Just need to activate it w black box (which everyone need it anyways).

About Sony? Okay, we can argue in Off-Topic about it.

I'd be surprised if there weren't exclusivity rights.

Do they have the BRZ in GT5? or even the FRS?

The GT86 is a free DLC car for GT5.

Yeah I got that already. Tuned it to its full capabilities in the game. Too bad it didnt allow the use of a turbo or supercharger tho.

I bought a GT86 and then a WRX in World Rally Blue paint to get a WRB paint chip. I then painted my GT86 WRB. Close enough. :D
