Needs the 1.6 turbo WRC engine. That looks like a off-road version of a B-Spec car. We could crush (on tarmac) with our H Prod cars.

It is nice to see Toyota actually making some type of factory effort, hopefully it is only the beginning.

Gearing goes a long ways in these low powered cars, the alternative FD could really pep it up.
