I'm not sure if you could close up the center opening and direct more air into the center through the side-air ducts without killing airflow.
I do like that Toyota is trying to get the production cars to mirror the concepts. I wonder if this is a car to wait on for a gazoo performance version a few years down the line.

I'm kind of hoping the 320bhp is from the lower engine spec. That amount from a straight 6 turbo is pretty bad. Sure it's probably capable of way more, but it's still only a 20hp increase from the car that came out 25 years ago. Even hot hatches like the Focus RS and Type R make that sort of power from the factory these days.

Hopefully it will get a lot of aftermarket support like the twins and requires minimum effort to make decent power (e.g. turbo upgrade, down pipe, tune for +200hp or so). I for one know I won't be able to keep it stock no matter what and hopefully it's a better platform to build power on than the twins. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Would you get a first run car or wait and see if there are any bugs to work out?

Perfect. That is what I would do as well even though I would know there may be issues. I would gamble that they are small enough I could live with them.
