great move by toy/scion.
drifting may not be a real motorsport, but it is a great marketing tool.

well done!

Its funny to see who DOESN'T post in these threads where Toyota/Lexus makes a vehicle that the press adores and is highly praised. Amazing.

Modelista Toyota 86
One of the very first machines is built by Toyota’s in-house Modelista tuning division, focused on adding some flare to the compact sports car. Included in the Modelista kit is a new lip kit, side skits, a rear lip and chrome door moldings. Headlight “eye” lids simplify the car’s front end, while rear light covers help blend the protruding taillights into the rest of the car’s body.

Also included are some upgraded 18-inch wheels and grippier tires – two simple modifications the new car could certainly use.






Prova Subaru BRZ Black Edition
The wild tuner-car-meets-race-car gets matte black ground effects with orange pinstriping, matched out back by a significantly-sized matte-painted spoiler.

Also of note are huge 19-inch Enkei wheels with sticky Michelin tires, which house enormous 6-piston front brake calipers. Other add-ons include twin hood vents to keep the car’s namesake cool, while custom fender gilles add some added Subaru flare.

One final feature worth pointing out is the dual center-exit exhaust – a look that’s sure to catch on.
