Look front bumper: AP4

I could call myself Janet Jackson if I wanted ... even tattoo it on my forehead. It doesn't make me Janet Jackson. I'm the wrong colour, haven't got the right bits and can't sing.

Yep, no Japanese produced hybrid at all, that Vitz is developed by Cusco Racing straight under AP4 regs: http://fiaaprc.com/2016/03/cusco-expand-2016/

AP4 is a NZ initiative which was adopted by the Australians quite late in the piece. It is a technical specification for a category of car which is very detailed and contains a controlled build process and a number of controlled components.

This following passage is lifted directly out of the regulations;

"An AP4 Rally Car may be built in New Zealand or Australia to the specifications detailed in PART TWO of these regulations or purchased in part or as a complete car
(refer below). Cars built locally are subject to the bodyshell platform and safety cage being fabricated by an ‘approved constructor’ and common ‘control parts’ being
supplied through the nominated companies as detailed in PART THREE of these regulations. "

The regulations require that a substantial part of the car is built on an authorised jig, of which there is presently only one anywhere in the world, and by an approved builder, of which none are in Japan.
Unless the initial stages of construction of that car occurred in NZ, the car is not an AP4.

Looks better than all test videos of Toyota so far!

Perhaps it was because must footage was shot on fast places but I must say the car is starting to look faster and faster.

Possibly a more advanced engine from TMG?

Hello Michael.

Possibly a more advanced engine from TMG?

Combination of everything,

Better driver, ideal conditions, better aero- more grip/downforce, better engine one would imagine, still looks soft though which will mean problems in less ideal conditions potentially.
