You can get performance-oriented special versions of the 86 in Japan, Europe, Middle East, and Australia.
Still nothing in the US...nice I'm not asking for a 65K car either, just something with a bit more performance from the factory (Oil cooler, better wheels and tires, brakes...) |

What, no comments about the single exhaust? Its the only style element I don't like about this car. The car has an exposed asshole.

I would say that the 14R60 is the actual track oriented car. The GRMN 86 car is a more real road car focused on handling more bumps, different kind of corners and road pavements, changes in the altitude etc. This is why so many manufacturers are focusing in testing or racing in Nurburgring. It resembles much more the conditions you'll meet for example in an ordinary B-road. |

I would seriously consider a special if it was it was offered in a similar mould to the Renault R.26R: roll cage, rear seats deleted, carbon hood, trick suspension, titanium exhaust, sticky rubber, plexiglass rear, a/c and radio delete options.

Guys keep in mind that you can not just take the Japanese price and subtract the exchange rate. That isn't how things work. If it is $60K there it could still be $60 here since they would just up the price. Sure if bought in Japan, with US dollars, then you would see a difference but the value and the price are not the same thing.

I wonder if there is any chance of these parts being available to purchase, like the shift knob, steering wheel, that sort of thing. Probably wishful thinking but I want some of those interior pieces
