 Report: Toyota to Launch G's High-Performance Division |

Easily the most talked about vehicle at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon was the G Sports FT-86 Concept. With the FT-86 already garnering its fair share of attention, the G-Sports model is a high-performance version of the concept, from a new performance division.
The G Sports or G's division will essentially take parts from the looks-based Modelista line of products as well as from the TRD performance based line of products to create a full line of parts (and possibly even models). Toyota will also reportedly work with it's Super GT race team, Gazoo Racing, to develop the cars. According to a report by Inside Line, customers will be able to choose different package "levels" depending on budget and how significant of a performance enhancement they are looking for.
The G-Sports FT-86 model shown in Tokyo featured plenty of light-weight carbon fiber body panels, new wheels and was rumored to even have a turbocharged and intercooled version of the Subaru-sourced boxer 4-cylinder expected in the production car.
Toyota has not said if the new G's line of high-performance parts will be available outside Japan.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010: G's Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept |
|

Toyota has recently announced its G Sports conversion car series that will be sold through Toyota-brand dealers in Japan throughout 2010. These G's series vehicles are designed for owners interested in having a unique vehicle and several of them took center stage at Toyota's booth at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon. We have heard plenty about Toyota's FT-86 and the company's G's version stole the show. Dozens gathered around the car during exclusive media hours in order to see it up close and personal. Plenty of carbon fiber accents can be seen on this extremely stylish and polished design, making this FT-86 Concept even more impressive than the original.
Along with the standard carbon fiber goodies, there's a vented carbon fiber hood and a massive rear spoiler. We also noticed an aggressive new exhaust setup.
With this concept Toyota continues to build interest in the FT-86, which is believed will head to production shortly. The car is rumored to be powered by a 2.0-liter Subaru boxer engine with Toyota heads, delivering around 200-hp. Toyota is hoping this model will be a hit with enthusiasts, tuners and help get a younger demographic into its showrooms.
