Hopefully the camo is hiding a lot of curves because as it looks that is some boring sheet metal.

I noticed the multi-piston brake calipers. If those carry over to production I will be very pleased!!!

That looks A-mazing. Maybe it's because I'm in love with the MKIV, but when I look at the profile of this car I think mark 4 supra hard core. Not a huge fan of that wing but I estimate it's functional for the race. This car is lookin good!

I'm really feeling this...just some minor changes and this already looks alot better than the Subaru version. I actually like the tail lights and the wheels look good as well, correct me if I'm wrong is the car red under everything?

i think a lot of the little changes we see here are to comply with race regulations, rather than any redesign. even in a production-spec class. the roll cage is but one example.

Anyone else have an idea what it's for... I noticed it right away and I'm still confused. Michel's answer seems logical but anyone else have more to add?

LOL i just noticed the new mirrors, what's the deal with those, would they actually change them just for the race?

+1 I see some supra shape to this car, the way the sideskirt wraps around the shape of the door.

I've been lurking this forum for a LONG time but had no need to post, but this thread just got me too excited I had to sign up!

So I'm not the only one, sweet! Idk why, can't point to anything specific but with that big wing it looks all the more like the MKIV for me

Jordo! · 10-13-2011, 03:23 PM

Looking promising.

Anyone going to try and "unmask" this one?

mkivalex · 10-13-2011, 03:24 PM

Haha I cant wait til this comes out so I can park it beside my supra, then I can really see if there is some supra blood in it.

R_E_L · 10-13-2011, 03:24 PM

actually not only are the mirrors different but the side skirts and rear element are missing now. i wonder why...

Sea1monkey2 · 10-13-2011, 03:26 PM

It strikes me as a much sharper mkiv. The back fenders scream of the hips on the supra
