    And the blurb touches upon the astonishing performance.

    Laps the Tsukuba Circuit faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia

    Toyota Racing Development has released the first details about their 86 TRD Griffon concept.
    Set to debut at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon, the Griffon was recently tested at the Tsukuba Circuit where it posted an astonishing lap time of 1:01:872. For comparison, Fastestlaps.com says the Ferrari 458 Italia takes 1:02.24 to complete the same task.
    Official specifications won't be announced until the show kicks off on January 11th, but Toyota says the car has been equipped with a stiffer and lighter body as well as a track-oriented suspension and exhaust system.

    It's not surprising on Tsukuba really.. Tsukuba is a small track with very little straights so power is a small priority. 1:01 is not bad for a 200-300hp car.
