This is slightly misleading because that is not a "true" TRD 86. Because it only has larger wheels, body kit, and exhaust. No strut bars, member braces, intake, suspension, breaks, LSD or any of the other chassis reinforcement. Yes that may cost alot more money but thats the point of the 86. TRD upgrades are there to improve the car's balance, handling and feel of the car without compromising the original 86. Testing it with a half-assed TRD 86 for the european market is going to cause issues because its undermining the real potential of the car. Im sure if they tried a full package TRD 86 the results would be very different. And it could even compete with the cayman S in terms of handle, balance, and fun. NOT outright speed.
