Dome 86 GT300 in Development
Dome developing GT300 Toyota GT86
By Sam // May 29, 2013 Dome has released information about its new Toyota GT86 GT300 car. The new car is based on a composite chassis which will be commercially available at a low cost due to an innovative construction that does not use a honeycomb core. It has been built at the behest of Super GT organisers GTA that want to make the second tier GT300 class more focussed on domestically built tuner cars rather than imported GT3 machines. It is not clear when the ’86 will make its race debut but it could be as early as the joint Asian Le Mans Series and GT300 series event at Fuji Speedway in September. The front engined chassis will also form the basis of the ‘Isaku’ production car set to be launched next year and Dome is hoping that Malaysian, Chinese and Korean companies will use the concept to build their own GT cars as they would be eligible to compete in GT Asia and the Asian Le Mans Series as well as Super GT itself. It has been designed to accept a range of engines, transmissions and other mechanical component to encourage small tuners to develop their own cars. http://www.racecar-engineering.com/n...0-toyota-gt86/

Coolio! What's the engine I wonder? Looks more like an inline in that pic.
This is my 1000th post!!! I'm pretty sure I've never posted this much on any other forum! It really is a great forum though! Thanks you guys!

By commercially available, they mean selling it to other SuperGT teams. Just like their GT500 NSXs were "commercially available."
Interesting that the car is basically just a tub that can have any body shell added to it. Incresingly odd, this seems to go against the mantra of SuperGT in using production-based cars, with limitations on how much of the original frame and engine location and layouts must be used, even if these are minimal, because this care has absolutely nothing from the 86. Also surprising that SuperGT wants more domestic cars in the series. SuperGT used to be almost exclusively Japanese with the occassional Porsche or Lamborghini, but has really opened up in recent years with the new GT3 machines. Now they want to revert back? Seems a step backwards.

Old school GT300 didn't really seem to suffer, there was all kinds of stuff in the category from a Corolla and MR2 to the Daytona-Prototype-based Mooncraft Shiden and various Vemacs.
Japanese teams are probably just finding it easier to be cheaper, existing GT3 cars than to custom build and maintain their own designs, such as the BRZ, CRZ, and Prius that currently run in the series. Even Nissan gave up on their Fairlady Zs and now runs the GT-R GT3 in GT300.

Other than its exterior looks, how is this a GT86?

Not sure what this car has to do with the 86? Just a name thing?
