"It's a shame we didn't know much about him until only recently. It was only when we saw a few pictures after an earlier biography and after his passing did we realize that Hiromu Naruse was in many, MANY LFA pictures, videos, and more! The passionate expression on his face is distinguished and unforgettable. RIP Naruse-san" :-)

I do hope Toyota sees his last project through to production:the Aygo-based fr hot-hatch. Can't imagine a better way of honoring his memory.

Without Naruse's life-long dedication to racing, I don't know where Toyota would stand today in terms of making performance cars. Thank you Mr. Naruse for being a part of it all.
