Toyota at the Tokyo Auto Show
Toyota will present 15 models at the Tokyo Auto Show in which he participates, among which are the improved versions of the iQ, Yaris and GT 86.
The presence of the Japanese company at this exhibition, is particularly exuberant as a number of new models are expected to be presented at its stand, among which originals, improved versions etc. Among them, the GRMN iQ Supercharger Prototype stands out, which is expected to be produced in just 100 copies from the summer of this year onwards.
According to the official data released by the Japanese giant, the version in question is based on our well-known iQ of 1,33 liter, except that its engine, thanks to the addition of a compressor, it pays off 130 horsepower and torque 180 Nm, which is combined with a 6-speed gearbox with a "closed" arrangement of its relations. Besides, the car, which has been taken care of by Gazzo Racing, features cosmetic enhancements commensurate with the character, as well as suspension with tighter tuning and lower ground clearance.
Another very interesting model is the GRMN Yaris Turbo Concept, which is based on the 3-door version of the model sold in Japan under the name Vitz. This "hot" Yaris wears an engine 1,5 liter, which delivers with the help of a turbocharger 180 horses and 220 Nm of torque. The rest of the upgrades that come with it include a sportier suspension setup, the 4-piston calipers of the braking system, as well as their wheels 18 inches.
Based on her new coupe, which was officially presented just a few months ago, Toyota is bringing the GT to the Tokyo Auto Show 86 TRD. Its differences compared to the simple GT 86 concern according to the Japanese in the new suspension setting and the sportier anti-roll bars, on the wheels of 18 inches combined with Michelin tires, to the upgraded brakes, as well as a multitude of aerodynamic aids on the outer surfaces and elements inside, such as the bucket seats and the engine start button.
No mechanical changes, but with modifications in the field of aesthetics, Toyota is also presenting another special edition of its new coupe: the Toyota GT 86 from Medel, as well as the Gazoo Racing Toyota FT-86 and Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA, with which the two companies participated in the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race in 2011.
