I call BS.

My bet is it is a body kit on the current US model.
Nah, you can tell the overall shape and main panels are a bit different to the regular 86, it actually is quite close to the Best Car renders. Totally believable as the next gen, and as already noted, totally possible this has been testing in secret on Toyota’s private track for months prior to being tested stateside.

Probably still a few fake panels still on this car, but I can see enough to say, it’s close to the gen 1 but not as good looking IMO. The bonnet is now a bit tall and flat looking, more Supra like, which means the wheel bumps that arched up over the front wheels are gone. Not terrible, just different.
