Yeah you wouldn't get anything special released here. I believe that's it sadly... these cars are great as they are anyway! :love:
:cool:
 
Mechanical LSDs is interesting, do they need regular maintenance?

10mm is about perfect drop for these, most lowering springs go too low and the wheels/arches don't look right IMO.

And I bet it looks good in matte grey, but after my Quadrifoglio Nring I'd never have another matte car.
 
Well finally we got something! Rally spec would be interesting but assuming as RHD and costing bit more than current model with expected demand it will be an exotic. Maybe 10% will be driven as they should

He says on other site that we are getting one but different from the Jap model
Have to go with what he says ,that bloke has been spot one so far just as he was on the subject of Rs Focus Special Edition which he banged on for 2 years and got the Heritage model and had the last laugh after many said he was wasting his time and his deposit earning the dealer interest
 
Fun to see how expensive will those GRMN special wheels be - kind of difficult to see them being more than BBSs but everything is possible..

And will it have heated seats..?

Im still saying the UK and the rest of us wont get this.

The Rookie Racing car was JDM only and this one also includes some customisation/personalisation for owners as well which is another idea from Toyota like the RR cars subscription service.

I know not all of these will be customised/personalised cars, but I fear if you buy one without that its missing the point really. I cant see any importer outside of Japan being able to offer and work with that based on the poor showing most dealers and the importers have over the existing main stream cars; if you cant pour in the right oil can, well....

I also think outside of Japan Toyota isnt keen on any of us using a car for track days. Where Hyundai will accept warranty issues from a tracked N car, it seems Toyota will deny your claim. These models are candidates for racing so how would warranty work i wonder. In Japan things are quite different to our markets.

The interesting bits are the CF parts (what are they then?) and the upgrades. We should be able to get those from toyota i would think without voiding warranty perhaps?

UK cars do have a track warranty - confirmed here.
I dread to think the cost of something like a Toyota Carbon bonnet.
