it is now supercharged, im going down to Cologne in a few weeks to drive it again.

TTE is part of toyota, not a tuning company.

RMM wanted the TTE car, but not in black, TTE told them to kiss there kahunas .........so RMM is hoping TTE will provide the data to build a car,


IT IS NOT GOING INTO PRODUCTION EVER.................OK

I wish ya the best!
