Sign me up if there's ever an effort to get a front end conversion kit over here, Asphalt please, but I have no qualms getting it sprayed.

kthx, the rest of you can go back to being pissed off about it.

Because fixing the torque dip would add 15k to the MSRP...and 500 lbs

Here's another pic:

It'd look cool except those headlights are horrendous in shape.

I hate the front end, but if they do this they need to make changes to the rear cause the front and rear will clash bad.

I can not begin to imagine how fucking ugly, expensive and useless the FR-S would be if Toyota built one to the hater's specs.

ETA: I'm positive there was/is another iteration of that front end, and it looked like it was right off a Jaguar or Maserati. Sexy thing. The haters probably like Rocket Bozo stuff, so they are already suspect.

looks like a last gen eclipse from this angle

what the fuck? it looks like a bad april fools prank.

I wish they would just kill the car off

Bergen23 · 02-10-2015, 06:19 PM

I doubt this will ever go to market. Gazoo Racing probably built a one off with toyotas blessing to show "what could be"

Nah pretty clear it a production car. Just a special model we probably won't see here anyway though.

That CB thing looks like a Tokyo Auto Salon frankenpoop.

One thing that caught my eye. Is that a factory solid non metallic oragne color there or just a photo of the hot lava?

Again, nothing but cosmetics. The FR-S is done.

It's clearly stated as a special edition with a pricetag ~$35k USD

First time we saw the style Cb GT 86 was at the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon in January, when it was just a fancy concept, oriented more towards the female clients.

But it now looks to be offered as a complete package starting April 23rd for ¥4,180,582($35,111/€31,070) or ¥4,263,055 ($35,795/€31,692) if you want it with an automatic gearbox.
