Should be based on the Toyota GT 86

Gazoo Racing has announced plans to introduce a new concept at the Tokyo AutoSalon.

The company declined to go into specifics but the teaser image suggests the car will be based on the Toyota GT 86. Unfortunately, there isn't much to see as we can only make out a rear wing and the GT 86's roofline.

Gazoo Racing also released a video of the GRMN Sports FR Platinum Concept which further implies we can expect to see a sporty GT 86 concept debut at the show.

The mysterious model will be unveiled on January 10th, so stay tuned for full details.

Car enthusiast Ryan Lee transformed his Toyota 86 into Lightning McQueen for his 3 year-old son Lucas, who adores the lead character of the Cars franchise from Pixar. Ryan first saw pictures on the Internet of cars with Lightning McQueen livery, he then thought to himself that he has a red 86, and it might look good as a McQueen car.

“I actually thought my son would feel really cool if he rode Lightning McQueen to school,” said Lee.

The McQueen 86 project took shape when he shared the idea to Leo and Chris, his partners at Speedworks Engineering; because they like to bring smiles to people’s faces with cars. They then had the decals made by their friends at Synwerx Graphics to be an early Christmas surprise for little Lucas.

“My son was so happy when he saw the car. But since he just woke up that time we showed it to him, the real excitement came days after where actually run around the car himself with a really big smile on his face,” said Lee.

The Speedworks McQueen 86, doesn’t just look like ‘Lightning’ but also packs the ‘ka-chow’ inside with several modifications such as turbo and ECU mods resulting in over 300 hp to the rear wheels.

Hats off to you Mr. Ryan Lee you are an awesome dad with some very awesome friends too! Lucas is one lucky luke!
