Report: Toyota considering ‘G’ performance division for its vehicles
Finally, time for some good news from Toyota. At the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota showed a range of sporty looking, performance enhanced special-edition models with a G logo, most notably the Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept. According to Straightline, the concept models hint at a feature sub-brand from Toyota that it will gradually roll out in its cars in mid-2010.
In simple words, the G lineup will be Toyota’s in-house tuning division. The G department will be responsible for enhancing Toyota vehicle’s exterior, interior, mechanical components and the suspension.
We’re guessing the first Toyota to get the G treatment will be the upcoming FT-86 due out in the later part of next year.
Volkswagen is also planning a in-house tuning division called R GmbH.
