Pretty awesome. Not sure what the point of the teaser was, it was obviously this F with that color scheme as we've seen when it was released overseas

The dash layout is a little different from what I'm used to seeing. Nice wheels.

I love the orange CCS-R ... but the silver one, meh... If they put that huge wing on it you gotta have those aggressive front lip/fins to match!!!

uh oh uh oh... you guys ever heard of racing, right? You know different classes, including near production ones? yeah so... minimum mods so it can be near production class. There is no point in changing its powertrain, it wouldnt be IS-F anymore.

Besides, its direct shift automatic so behaves the same as transmissions in many racing cars.

its colors for the track. Silver one is TRD parts trying to match what Toyota Motorsport GmbH did to original car, for less money.

So you were right that they trimmed 700 lbs.

I was right too, they just removed everything they don't need in a race car. So is not really mods, they just stripped it out. It is an empty shell with a drivetrain in it.
