Undoubtedly inspired by the “squished cars” done in Photoshop to make them look like toy cars, we snapped this GT 86 on display at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Commissioned by Kyosho, a maker of toy cars from R/C to die cast, it’s not a GT 86 underneath, but appears to be a Scion iQ transformed into the creation you see now.
