Cheers, yes that is phrased better.

I can only assume that chav has reached the realms of generic comment for describing anything that isn't liked with no explanation why.

is it a dealer exclusive? I've seen some Toyota dealers do exclusive packages before, with aftermarket wheels etc.

Looks like full race spec to me....

Clearly is with the cage and what look like racing tyres, plus those wheels are CR Kais, I'd eat the clothes I'm wearing and my shoes if a Toyota dealer started supplying Work wheels.

It also appears to have no passenger seat, unless it's folded forwards.

I cant see the picture. Is that the black one? Its JRM Racing's version, they built it and delivered it to Toyota HQ (pinkstones down the road) to show it off!!

As seen here!

It's a white one one white wheels, caged up and on Michelin race tyres. Bodywork outside is pretty much standard bar some kill switches on the scuttle panel.

It's not, but my god I want that car.

Yer, ive fallen in love with the JRM one! I wish Toyota would just drop it to us for a few days, park it outside, im sure itll get more attention than the GT does on its own, which is quite a lot!

The black one looks to have a few extra bodywork additions.

IMO this needs to be released for real.. An affordable GT3 RS !

there's one entering into the britcar 24h this year, it's got a white-based livery so this might be it. makes sense as it's got all the lights intact too

This.

Im 99% sure it's the one Toyota had on display at Donnington for the GT86 launch training.

Problem is it's got some serious competition in the specialist sports car market in the form of things like the Exige and Ginetta G40.

I thought it was the one on the Toyota stand at the Goodwood Festival of Speed but that was badged GRMN

Nice colour, but the flat white on the wheels clashes horribly!

Correct yes.. I was going to add that it almost had a hint of G40 about it in that picture. Could see it in a one make series.

If they did it properly, the competition would be only good.
