Toyota FT-86 Snapped With Racing Gear and Less Camo

Here are the latest shots of the Toyota FT-86 (coming to the U.S. as the Scion FR-S), which is sporting some racing gear and less camouflage. According to our spy photographer, the FT-86 you see here is participating in the German VLN (Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenmeisterschaft Nurburgring) racing series.  With a little bit of digging, we found the FT-86 on the entry list for this weekend’s race. Toyota also raced a prototype LFA in the series a few years ago.

Compared with past photos, the tester appears to be sporting racing rubbers, lightweight rims, bigger brakes, and, of course, stickers. Toyota also has shed a bit of camo, especially around the headlights, taillights, and rear hatch where the shape of the Toyota emblem is clearly visible. Additionally, this tester is sporting a mean-looking rear diffuser and thin side view mirrors, both of which probably won’t see production. Subaru has also been testing its version of the FT-86 — the BRZ — which we caught on the ‘Ring a few days ago.
