while we're being pedantic though... it has been referred to by Toyota as a 3S (3S-G改/3S-GTM)
for high rpm road racing, at the power levels in JGTC at the time, the 3S was a way better option for the reasons Nurburgring listed. Toyota/TRD had also already done a ton of development on that motor in WRC and hill climb too, so the 2J got left on the shelf.

I'd personally have the entire car clear bra'd.
I'd love to even throw out helpful hints, but this time around I can't say a word about it.
I'd phrase it more like the engineering side is more or less done; market specific details (trims/options) are another thing altogether.
Only Tada has the answer to that as this release is fairly unconventional, but based on generalities it will be sometime next year when those figures are out there.
I now know the answers to those, but I cannot give details. I was explicitly told to not divulge the information, which is...
They have mentioned SEMA several times, and a car transport driver I know has been tapped as a possible service by Toyota USA. Given that information it would be odd for it to not be there, but we will have to see.
The auto press keep saying Detroit 2019, which could be the main event for the...
