    Because of TGR’s focus on racing, Toyota’s engineering teams are able to push their vehicles to their limits on the track, resulting in better engineers and even better vehicles. TGRNA will concentrate in supplying performance sports cars to customers in the US, designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, and aims to deliver thrill and excitement to car and motorsport aficionados.
