And again the Japanese tuners make Europeans grit my teeth with envy: Toyota Mark X, which occupies a niche in the Japanese market, comparable to the Camry, there is a luxury sports version with incomprehensible name GRMN. Stupid acronym stands for Gazoo Racing in honor of Nürburgring Wizard, that is tragically died there in the year 2010 test pilot Toyota Hiromu Naruse.
With this meaning the mid-sized sedan is perceived quite differently, right? But besides the complicated names of the Mark X has something to brag about. For example, ultra-light roof is made of reinforced carbon filaments of plastic, the new body kit including rear spoiler and bumper with additional air intakes, 19-inch wheels and elegant, though somewhat flashy interior.
Source of motivation is a 3.5-liter 321-horsepower V6, the transmitting 380 Nm traction on the rear axle through a 6-speed mechanics and Torsen center differential, sport suspension settings, powerful brakes and completely redesigned the exhaust system attached. Toyota GRMN Mark X will be incredible rare even in Japan: all tuners are hoping to collect 100 RHD instances 44 $ 700 each.
