Don't forget mis-matched wheels.

Are car companies only allocated a certain set of test license plates?

They basically have a bunch of go-on-anything-without-tedious-paperwork plates laying around. Enough to not be stuck with a prototype missing one, I assume.

You live there, you tell us.

I am becoming envious of your ability to claim this as fact all from a few pics. Your other link is nothing but speculation as well.

"Sometimes I spot a cool car on the 'Ring, but I don't have any clue what it is, why it's here, or anything... and this carbon-clad Toyota GT86 is just one of these moments. "

Strong work, G!

Sorry guys for jumping in like this but why in gods name does it have to be a little sissy-fight like this? I'm 20 years old and don't feel an urge to be talking the way half of the people on this thread are... Grow the F up! (coming from a 20 year old that must sound pretty weird no?)
I mean, just enjoy the freaking pics & let us all hope together for some new awesome OEM upgrades from Toyota or Subaru & just f*cking stop messing up this thread!

I understand some people not really being able to "accept" Guillaume's speculation (or call it whatever you want) but honestly, only his comments about the mystery GT86 seem to add up! Don't be hating on the dude for sharing data that actually makes sense! He's taken multiple attempts in trying to explain and validate his point of view & people keep hating...

"Don't like it" you say? Well keep walking & don't post useless comments!

Now, let's get back on topic!
Car looks awesome, would love OEM carbon fiber parts! That would make it legal to use carbon fiber parts (hoods & trunks mostly) on our cars where i live

Google translate from the above for those who aren't going to bother copy pasting it or don't use chrome:

I agreed with you. This forum is full of a brunch of immature individuals. Only on this forum; if you go to other Toyota base forums like ClubLexus, SupraForums, or FT1Club people actually treat one another with respect. Its sad, because it didn't use to be like this.

Not everyone has to agreed all the time, but is it too hard to at least respect one another?

People can point out in a respectable way too, don't have to go all crazy and ridiculize the guys post. Anyway, now i'm sounding like i'm picking sides & that's not my point
If sometimes a little more respect can be shown (by everyone, again, not trying to pick any sides!!) then these little sissy-discussions won't (have to) happen & it'll be a nicer community.
That's it bro, no hating from my side, it's all love from here
