Why did they choose beige as the color for the debut car? SMH

I totally agree here and want to add in BAD-***
Since this is a prototype, there could be more changes in the future.

That beige color was not a good choice and please remove that license plate for that photo shoot

Everything else is fine with me, I am surprise how good the BBS F1 looks on it.

If they really do sell this in the U.S. market, I guess I really have to buy one

I like the look of the rear, despite the odd arrangement of the exhaust tips. The bumper looks integrated well and not like a tacked on body kit. And that engine looks ready to battle. Great work by TMC and hopefully this will lead to more future performance oriented vehicles.

Tailpipe, front vents/fog, and grill are hideous. I don't know what German Tuner is thinking. They should have better taste in styling. Hope any other Toyota design house will take on the design.

Well I think its badass for people with an actual pulse. Its modeled after a DTM racer, maybe some here don't know what that is. The rear is surely a way they merged the exhaust with a rear diffuser and paying homage to the IS F look. Agreed the color choice in beige is rather very odd.

The front I do wish had LEDs and the spindle grill.

The car was meant to shock and awe and be performance first, looks second. But hey some people here think the C63 Black Series is stupid. Surely all this stuff people are complaining about (on cue) help with its supposed 200mph limit.

650hp LS. AMAZING!!
