Rice! cough cough I meant Nice! > One after the other, Toyota’s local divisions are presenting new accessories for the 86 rear-wheel drive sports coupe, which is also known as the GT86 in Europe and the Scion FR-S in North America. > After the Five:AD aero package in the States for the FR-S, and a selection of styling parts from Toyota Europe for the GT 86, it’s time for the brand’s Australian arm to create a comprehensive aero package for the 86. > The kit consists of a new front bumper skirt with vertical fins to control air entering the front grille and dual canards at 12-degree angles, side skirts, a rear bumper apron housing a diffuser plus a large rear spoiler with horizontal ‘winglets’ on the uprights. > According to the Japanese automaker, the package not only gives the 86 a racier appearance but is fully functional as it has been designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase downforce for improved handling, while maintaining the vehicle’s 0.27 drag coefficient. > The aero package is available exclusively to the high-grade GTS model regardless of the transmission choice, with pricing set at AU$3,000 (US$3,008 or €2,400).

A lot of what I read said it wouldn’t happen with the Toyota model but might happen with the Subaru one.

I say common sense because Subaru are already selling a turbo version of this new motor: [http://blog.caranddriver.com/turbo-version-of-subaru-brzs-fa-series-engine-debuts-in-japanese-legacy-will-power-next-wrx/](http://blog.caranddriver.com/turbo-version-of-subaru-brzs-fa-series-engine-debuts-in-japanese-legacy-will-power-next-wrx/) ---

The wing looks like it’s above the roof, up out of the slipstream and into clean air, where it can actually get some bite. Same premise with this rice rocket. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/OldMoparz/Misc%20Photos/B1969Daytona.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/OldMoparz/Misc%20Photos/B1969Daytona.jpg) ---

Unlike an Evo or an STI that spoiler looks really out of place. ---

Its all functional which is super nice. My biggest beef is actually the wheels…they have horrible offset and don’t seem to flow with the car. This turbo’d with 375hp/350tq would be uber fun. ---

Wheels are never a huge concern its a quick and easy thing to change. ---

I also dont hate it… I think they did such a good job with this car. Cant wait for the turbo version BRZ, ESPECIALLY if it boasts 280ish whp out of a 2.0L. ---

> [@BadnewsMike](#): > > Thought the same thing. Its bad when there advertising slogan was “LOOKS FAST” Same. One of the worst looking cars in decades. I like this aero package, but the wing needs to be further back down the trunk, it’s too close to the C Pillar from the front view which is why it looks odd. ---
