The Toyota GT86 and the "German" tuners are not really making headway. Why actually? The base is perfect for tuning. There are some exotic conversions like the GT86 from Rowen & Tommykaira but no one has really had any power so far (apart from the Toyota GT86 MPS GT400 Turbo, which also came from MPS Engineering), and it does not come from Germany either. The tuning company shows us today, however, that it can be more blatant and with a lot of steam and all that coupled with German approval. The tuning team around MPS engineering has on this Toyota GT86 made the following changes:
