Gazoo Racing teases Toyota GT86-based concept for Tokyo Auto Salon
Autoblog wrote:The Tokyo Auto Salon will welcome a Toyota GT86 (known here as the Scion FR-S) tuned by Gazoo Racing, said to be called the GRMN Sports FR Concept Platinum. We only get the briefest of teasers right now before the show begins on January 11, so we don't have much to go on beyond a unique lower front fascia and headlight treatment, a hood with at least one scoop, and a giant wing with unique LED taillights out back.

Assuming this coupe is a further development of the GRMN Sports FR Concept from earlier in 2012, it will likewise use a twin-charged version of the 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder and put out something like 330 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque. We'll get the rest of the skinny in about two weeks, so for now, there's a gallery of other teased angles above.

Yerp. They've (Toyota) got a handfull of different concepts to show at TAS this year. This GRmn concept was actually speculated to be it's own model a couple years back. I hope that they will follow through with a production version. The more models available the merrier.
