Toyota GR 86 Test Mule Spotted

[NoHaveMSG]

I wish they molded the trunk to match the rear quarters like a cayman.

OK so this is the thread. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/09/ba...-updates-ring/ Not the same car.
That is just a plain old 17+ 86 front end under that camo though.

Hahaha!!!! Someone finally noticed! They put camo on the front to catch ppl look at the front. If you look the rear trunk, you can see they added small duckbill under the vinyl. There are few other things. But that’s a different story & mostly can’t see it.

To add: I’ve heard they’re making some kind of special edi before bringing out gen 2... but it’s still a rumor without solid source.

Looks like a normal 86 with a modified front bumper..or maybe I'm blind...

Yes... but I’m talking bout tS & 14R kinda thing. Not those RS1.0 & 860.

A 2020 refresh would be funny.

Honestly I would be ok if they keep making the same 86/BRZ forever. Just keep refining the hell out of it. It could be the last ICE Non-Autonomous driving car ever made.

Meh. 2021 Special Edition with brake cooling ducts and a lip spoiler.

That’s what I think, but this mule doesn’t even have PP Brembo’s, although it’s running 18’s and Michelin PS4. Wider tracks for sure.

There is a lot of tiny details though, rear tail lights seem to have some red tape, probable hiding changes to match that little duck tail...? Little lip on the rear fenders as well.

Front bumper seems more 86, 86 grille for sure(with some weird silver bolts), 86 headlights, 86 rear bumper... But BRZ badges. That’s weird. I’m very familiar with test mules and specially the ones of the twins at the ring , and this is definitely an interesting one.

I wish the plates weren’t photoshopped, so we could tell if it’s Subaru or Toyota. Believe it or not, it does matter.

PS: Whatever it is, if it’s a special edition I don’t think it will be released in Europe, as usual...

I feel you. US & Europe get screwed on GR limited edition models.

From A70's post, it could be a test mule.

Don't forget the Dremaled out fake vents in the bumper.

How about bigger brake pad windows?
