Click here to view the image in its original dimension. As the title mentions Toyota's UK division recently unveiled an Initial D-inspired concept version of the Toyota 86 and showcased it in, of all things, a few pages of manga wherein the Toyota 86 rashes Takumi in his AE86.

Remove that and you'd have something, but in the end it's still just a marked up GT86. The only thing I like about this picture is that the driver is wearing Tigers. |

Silver engine cover? Go get some chrome spray paint and 10 minutes in the garage. |
