From the first view, this is definitely an Alfa Romeo’s rendering, with the iconic “ring” rims  ! This was a rendering by an art student in college for his project, Vincent Montreuil. His concept of the Giulia is a front mounted engine with RWD mode.

The Toyota AE86 has always been synonymous to drifting for car enthusiast. With the new Toyota GT86 that is built to get the same exact feeling driving as driving the AE86, it only makes sense to bring this two cars to the track together.

Also at the same event, the Lexus LFA makes its appearance at the video below.
