As a project from the NATS Japan Automobile School, this Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S in North America) is inspired by Lamborghini styling, with sharp angles and aggressive body lines that look a bit out of place for a sports car that has a curvaceous style to begin with. Nonetheless, you have to applaud the effort and craftsmanship that went into the project that sports 19-inch wheels wrapped with Hankook Ventus V12 evo rubber and JIC Magic suspension.
Unfortunately the performance of the GT86 doesn’t match its aggressive looks as the engine has been kept stock. According to the website listing for the car, the idea behind the build is to have a “four-seater to go out shopping with family luggage also packed.” It’s referred to as a “super car,” which hints that it was inspired by Lamborghini styling – and if that was the goal, then it’s hard to argue that it wasn’t achieved.
