This feisty little Toyota concept comes complete with supercharger, roll-cage and enough attitude to make Aston Martin's Cygnet conversion choke on its latte.
Just unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Japan's annual motor show for performance tuners (google it and you'll get the picture), the iQ GRMN Racing Concept is based on the limited edition iQ GRMN that was sold in Japan last year.
It's built by Gazoo, which is a label Toyota has been using for a while to connect with its domestic 'yoof' market, and which will have an increasingly performance-orientated theme. (The Lexus LF-A Nurburgring 24hrs contender was entered by Gazoo Racing, for example.)
It has been reported that Toyota boss Akio Toyoda wants Gazoo to be 'a type of BMW M badge' in the future. Whether that means over here as well as over there, we're not entirely sure, but we do like the thinking.
We like the look of this Racing Concept too, even though we can't tell you much about it. There's a Toyota Japan hosted video here.
