Toyota GT 86 TRD Officially Revealed

[AutoGuide.com]

The GT 86 will spawn a new legion of fanboys for the Toyota brand – a result it was purpose-built to achieve. And if there’s one thing die-hard automotive enthusiasts love more than spouting off engine and chassis codes, it’s factory performance parts. In this case: Toyota Racing Development… or TRD for short.

With Toyota unveiling its new GT 86 sports car at the Tokyo Motor Show in early December, the automaker has now rolled out the TRD version at the Tokyo Auto Salon – Japan’s largest aftermarket event. Available TRD accessories for the GT 86 (sold in North America as the Scion FR-S – read our review here), include a new front lip and rear trunk-lid spoiler.

Also available are larger 18-inch TRD wheels, which can fit wider 225 tires, plus a TRD brake upgrade. Adding a slight dose of extra power is a TRD exhaust system, while a suite of suspension components will also be offered.

Toyota has yet to confirm as much, but it will offer a long list of TRD goodies for the Scion FR-S in North America.

Looking at both the 86/FR-S "facial expression" compared to the Miata if they were parked side to side it would be like this....

Miata: I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy

Toyota 86: Chill out dude I'm PISSED I mean business, I'll EAT YOUR FOOD!

I do like that kit. The Modalista kit is OK also, you don't need to add the chrome strip.
