Article excerpt

Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

Toyota's mysterious mid-engined sports car is back in the spotlight, this time wearing a coupe body that looks considerably different from the original GR Yaris M concept. However, don't assume this is what the production car will look like. Ogura Racing Clutch, a Japanese supplier, shared the latest photos, which show the work-in-progress prototype during track testing. Look a little closer, though, and the prototype's origins are hard to miss. It still uses headlights and taillights from the GR Yaris, suggesting Toyota is repurposing familiar components while developing the underlying mechanical package. The boxy fender extensions further suggest this is a test mule rather than a preview of the final body.
