Reportedly 300hp? That's new, I wonder where that report came from.

Thanks for posting this article, much appreciated...and what a great name for a movie star, let alone a mere motoring journalist!

Its the wing,the front bumper, the hood. It's looks too much like a drift car IMO.

I personally like the design concept. The use of carbon fiber looks good on a car with sharp lines. I think that gritty picture does no justice. It looks much better with the photographs at the Toyko Auto Salon. Don't forget you can always paint the carbon fiber to match the paint job.

yeah, the graphics kills it...but all else is good...and it's supposed to be 'drifty'. Can't see any other reason why it's not so. It should mellow out to be a decent RWD toyota in due time.

2.0L boxer turbos can run over 300hp (crank), I bet it may run 260-270 rwhp and it's weight would do nicely. But surely, it would be beastly w/ a 2.5L.

It makes it look like a previous gen Celica in a way.

I actually don't mind the graphics, that front bumper and wing just make it look to need for speed underground for me.

That's a good way to put it.
