A design and engineering icon, the Toyota 2000GT is the forefather of all Japanese supercars, the ancestor to which the Acura NSX, Nissan GT-R and Lexus LFA must pay homage. It’s rare enough to find a 2000GT for sale, but the example being offered by Maine Line Exotics is particularly special.

Billed as the “first race car built for competition in the U.S. from the next-generation 2012 Yaris SE”, the Yaris Club Racer will compete in the SCCA B-spec class race category in 2012. X-Game champion Jamie Bestwick will pilot the Yaris Club Racer during the 2012 racing season.

Although based on the road-going three-door Yaris, the Club Racer features a number of key modifications for competition. Those mods – which were carried out by SportsCar Magazine – include an eight-point roll cage, racing seat, fire system, racing steering wheel and RLC Racing Track Commander data acquisition system.
Power is provided by Toyota’s 1.5L four-cylinder. Although Toyota didn’t announce any performance figures, the four-cylinder should be producing a few extra ponies thanks to a cat-back exhaust system, Church Automotive Testing custom tune and a K&N air filter.
Look for the 2012 Yaris B-Spec Club Racer to hit the track next year.

The all-new Scion tC sports coupe gained a significant jump in power and performance over the previous model, and now the car has gained something just as important: An overall five-star crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The testing is part of the U.S. New Car Assessment Program and relies on new, more rigorous standards introduced for the 2011 model year.
The All new Scion TC at Butler Toyota in Macon,GA
Helping the tC achieve its five-star performance was a wide range of standard safety features, such as a comprehensive suite of eight airbags, including driver and front passenger airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front-passenger knee airbags, and side-curtain airbags, along with electronic safety measures like anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, traction control, vehicle stability control and the automaker’s innovative Smart Stop Technology.
Of course, a focus on superior safety is just one part of a tC package that puts just as much emphasis on dynamic driving. The 2011 tC rides on a fresh platform that boasts an athletic suspension with front MacPherson struts and a double-wishbone setup at the rear, with larger wheels, wider tires and bigger brakes all doing their share, too. Motivating Scion’s top seller is a robust 2.5-liter I4 engine with dual variable valve timing, a new intake manifold design and a sport-tuned exhaust system. That powerplant is good for an impressive mix of power and efficiency, developing 180 hp while still ringing up an EPA line of 23 mpg city/31 mpg highway—and that’s regardless of whether drivers choose the tC’s upgraded six-speed manual transmission or its six-speed automatic with sequential-shift functionality.
And with an MSRP that starts at just $18,995, the tC is obviously a safe choice for high-value high performance. Find the all new TC @ Butler Toyota in Macon,GA
