The Toyota GT86 TRD Griffon Project will be making its UK debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, following its unveiling at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon.
Designed specifically for track driving, this GT86 features a TRD mechanical LSD differential instead of the stock Torsen unit, while the final gear ratio has been shortened to 4.8:1. It also comes with a new oil cooler, coilover suspension units, a TRD monoblock brake calliper kit with racing spec brake pads and TWS 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires.
Further, the hood, roof, doors, boot lid and rear wings are made from lightweight carbon fiber. Weight is saved by using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the bumpers, wider front wings and rear diffuser. All the windows are made from polycarbonate material instead of glass.
Inside, the cabin is fitted with a TRD driver's bucket seat, gear shift knob, ignition button and oil pressure and water temperature gauges. There's also a Momo steering wheel and Takata seatbelts.
