Ken says in the video that the sound of the car is all natural. Interesting.

I wish the camera was a little higher so I can see the track. I'm interested in the increased stability

This video has Ken going over more of the technical changes. Really informative.

I'd kinda say to take these with a grain of salt/sand, since Ken is sort of a shill for Toyota, given that his racing/drifting team is part of Toyota.

But, still sounds good. I also love that color spec.

Yea but the race car driver in him probably turned the fake engine noise off before putting it in gear

Yeah I saw this too.

It sounds VERY VERY VERY satisfying to rev out, but I don't reckon its completely natural.

And personally, if it is actually enhanced, I will be ASKING for the sound enhancer!

Fake it till you make it

If you really wanted to sound cool, we'd inflate a balloon and tie it to the frame.

My only question remaining is are we getting red interior option?

Because if not, I will riot.

I have a feeling that this will be reserved for next year's special edition Release Series 896493263013874.0

Looks like our only options are grey in the US.

Sounds very smooth.

GR86 is hands down more attractive than the FT86. Couple aspects bug me...

1. Rear tail lights are the biggest disappointment. FT86 lights weren't aesthetically amazing per say, but they are a very memorable, distinguishable light signature. These look so generic, like an 8th generation (FG1/2) Civic coupe. Not a good parallel to draw.
2. Side vents don't seem to work with the car compared to previous gen. Lower rocker treatment is overdone to me.
3. I like duck tails, but this looks awkward. Ducktails usually have smooth contours that blend with the trunk, but where the top of the trunk meets the tail is kinda herky-jerky.

I'm curious about the steering feel compared to the previous gen.

Unfortunately, vehicle emissions have been politized, and not by me. Sounds like you're on the side that's killing IC engines. Way to go.
