I think I consider the Baja race more of a sport than a lot of stuff on a carefully groomed, paved track but hey that's just me.

Not sure why all of a sudden people think "sport" means track or race car. Maybe they confuse the "sports" car type with the model designation of "Sport"?
Companies started slapping Sport on cars as a more upbeat trim level back in the late 1950s. At no point did they ever claim the were track or even race cars just that they represented a "Sporty" set of options like bucket seats (rare back then) and fancy hub caps. It was all just a marketing term and not to be taken literal that the cars were "sports cars". The same applies to "GT" trim levels. You didn't see a pile of Maverick GTs competing in actual Grand Turismo races.
These terms are well entrenched in automotive history now and really shouldn't be confusing to anybody.
We see the same happening with designations such as Dodge R/T, Toyota TRD and most recently Toyota GR. These all used to actually mean race built vehicles but have been watered down to just another marketing label to slap on trim levels that are in no way race cars.

Not just a Sport but a SUPER Sport and most certainly not a sports car nor ready for any track purpose.

The FR-S was sold in anticipation of this car, so needless to say I'm pretty hyped that Toyota has been showing it off to some internal corporate employees.

I won't believe it till I see it, but I like seeing manual. Idc if it has 200 or 300+. I see that all the time.

Tip of advice, I wouldn't recommend posting these messages online. Even you hide the name & photo, they def can hunt down those corporate employees.

With that said, I wonder which one he/she saw.

Wait wait wait. What do you mean, which one she saw?! Are you trying to suggest there are different options?

I believe they are referring to Manual Supra (no word on Engine) or Corolla GR model

Late reply but I'm not sure how anyone can be dumb enough to think they can't be caught. Even if 300 people were in the presentation, that's not exactly difficult to narrow down. And everyone is likely under NDA so they could get in serious trouble.
