I'm not really sure on how to add one, since there aren't many good angles of the TRD duckbill, or FiveAxis one either.

Nor could I draw one, due to the fact that I don't have a Wacom tablet, etc.

I will intent but may not publish results lol

two mind think a like, But I gotta say either way the chops look great

So....ring time?
No way they took that thing over to nurburg just to park hard and take some pictures on the country roads.

They did say they "designed the engine to take abuse".

Amazing car! I would buy one in a heartbeat!

But if it was priced over $35k...no freaking way.

The fact it has a full interior and the FI bits look so OEM (even using OEM airbox) makes me think this is a prototype for a production kit or "super sport" model (spiritual successor to the Supra?).

It could be stock internals -- there's more leeway with DI to quench potential det. They might also be pushing the upper limits to see what it can withstand in the enduro race and based on that data, could scale back the power too. We'll have to wait and see...

If they can sort this out on stock internals, I'm thinking mid to upper 30's because then it would truly be a 370Z competitor in terms of looks, power, and pricing. Fully loaded, low 40's.

And, if they offer this, it will be my next car.

Nah, velocity is right as far as the original meaning of GRMN. They might have changed it to "Meister of Nur" at some point though.

I honestly have no idea but it does say on their facebook page under the MAY 17th post about this car:

*GRMN：GAZOO Racing tuned by Master of Nürburgring

so i'm guessing it did change.

GRMN just sounds like the old TTE to me.
