You're right. The front fender shape and gills in front of the tires. Then the "shark teeth" rear wing endplates!

*Electric power steering for GT500 Nissan GTR which was not used after all although NISMO/JTEKT developed.
(Nissan used Hydraulic power steering. Honda and Lexus used EPS made by KYB.)

Sports-carracing.net reports JAF-GT300 mother chassis.

*GTA had announced the price of the Mother chassis monocoque as 2 million yen at the beginning.
*Mother chassis was developed by Dome. GTA authorised engine was Nissan LMP2 engine.
*Mother chassis price is 36 million yen excluded body cowl.
*And Nissan engine price is about 9 million yen.
*When body cowl manufacture cost is included, total price is 60 million yen(!).
*However, GTA claims that the total price of Toyota 86 is 20 million yen.
There is a rumor that Toyota assists 40 million yen.
*The Mother chassis concept of GTA has failed substantially.

Too expensive for the entire package I guess? 2 million yen for the monocoque is $20,000. That doesn't seem like much at all. The Toyota 86 will be partially funded by Toyota by developmental costs were helped?

20m Yen is much cheaper than GT3.

Mother chassis was never 2m yen from what I was told, would be impossible.

Must have been a typo. 20million ¥ which would be around $200k plus an engine would seem to be closer to the prices Japanese Samurai posted.

This shot is very rare.
It is because the rear CFRP subframe of HSV is top secret.

So I was loooking at the coverage on there of the Fuji Sprint round and it mentioned that Satoshi Motoyama was no longer a works driver with Nismo Motul team. Whats the go with that? I thought he was Nissan's favourite son.

APR original.

Japanese Mag-X magazine says that GT-86 mother chassis car price will be 45 million yen.
This is proper price. (FIA-GT3 car price: about 35-45 million yen.)

I think you're allowed to make a new thread . So go ahead. Pretty interested myself in how the new rules for 2014 will pan out with Toyota, Honda and Nissan getting new cars.
