Toyota 86 Coupe Prepped with TRD Parts, Plus Video of Ken Gushi Driving Scion FR-S

Toyota-86-Coupe

In a sort of two for one deal, we present to you one of the first videos of the Japanese domestic market (JDM) Toyota 86 fitted with a selection of parts from the brand's in-house tuning division TRD, and a second clip of its North American twin, the Scion FR-S in both stock and racing forms.

The Toyota 86 TRD model features a different exhaust system plus a sports suspension package and a more powerful braking system. You can read more about TRD's offerings in our previous post here.

The video with the FR-S shows Formula Drift racer Ken Gushi tackling the straights and corners of the Laguna Seca raceway in a stock model as well as an early prototype for his GReddy Racing FR-S drift car.

Watch both videos right after the jump.
