Toyota has amped up interest in its S-FR coupe by revealing a meaner racing-style concept.
Due to be shown at Tokyo Auto Salon next January, the S-FR Racing Concept throws away the perky looks of the original concept, which debuted only months ago, and replaces them with a theme more familiar with track machinery.
With the job given to Gazoo Racing, one of Toyota’s racing and tuning arms, the S-FR will appear in January with a bevy of aerodynamic additions, hinting at the enthusiasm Toyota has for the S-FR idea.
Carbon-fibre skirts bridge the bodywork between its rolling stock, and match the aggressive front bumper, canards, and extremely detailed racing-spec diffuser at the Racing Concept’s rear.
Toyota didn’t reveal what engine was mated to the road concept’s six-speed manual, but the scrubbing-board sized intercooler lurking behind the Racing Concept front grille suggests turbocharging is involved here.
None the less, it looks fantastic, and we should be treated to more information come January when the Racing Concept is officially revealed at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon.
