Yeah he's made a nice ass of himself

Details are still very sketchy and all we have to show you is the blurry teaser image that TRD has unveiled, but there is a new GT 86 concept from TRD heading to the Tokyo Auto Salon. Sure, we already talked about the new Sports FR Concept Platinum and how awesome it is, but its partner in Tokyo – the GT 86 Griffon Concept – just may blow it out of the water.

Like we said, the details are sketchy, but we do know that TRD went to task lowering the GT 86’s overall weight, then tweaked at least the suspension and exhaust. TRD then took the GT 86 Griffon out to the Tsukuba circuit and laid rubber to tarmac, netting a best lap time of 1:01.872.

That may seem like nothing on paper, but when you start adding in the fact that time beats out times of the Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari 360 CS, Nissan GT-R Spec-V, Corvette ZR1, Lambo Gallardo, Porsche 911 GT2, and so on, you realize that this must be one beastly `Yota GT 86.

We will find out more on the 11th of January when TRD officially releases the specifications, but were are 100-percent certain that there is a lot more tweaking going on than just some suspension stiffening and exhaust work.

It'll be funny when these cars start getting serious factory-spec performance upgrades...

youre implying something that will never happen. must be nice living in a world with unicorns and fairies..

As a Mustang owner, you don't want that to happen. You won't be able to make threads like this anymore. :'(

as a mustang owner, i could care less if they implement new "performance" upgrades for shitty imports, because simply being, despite what they would add, my stock mustang would still be faster lol

but please, dont let me interrupt your disillusioned world

That stang of yours will end up in the used car lot when that happens Unless you crash it first.

faster at a cheaper price****

you really are jelly of my car arent you lol

With all of the stereotypes surrounding stangs I couldn't possibly be jealous of someone who owns one...I've driven a newer one....the interior is cheap shitty plastic. Admittedly fun to drive but they're pretty damn loud with alot of road noise, not my idea of a DD....
