[mkiv] Lead Toyota Test Driver Killed In German Crash

[Martin F]

It's a very odd looking accident to result in fatalities. Hopefully more
details will be known as time goes on.

What a sad loss :(

Wow - what a legacy!  2000GT to the LFA!
What I don't see in the picture or video are skid marks?

Sad day for those who love Toyota Performance Cars. Responsible for cars 
from the 2000GT to the Supra to the current LFA. He will be missed.

Lead Toyota Test Driver Killed In German Crash

Toyota's top test driver, Hiromu Naruse, died today after crashing a 
Lexus LFA prototype into a BMW while testing in Germany. The two test 
drivers in the BMW were also seriously injured.

Naruse helped not only to test, but also to develop, the Lexus LFA 
Nurburgring Edition he was driving in addition to a slew of other sports 
cars - including the 2000GT - since he started working for Toyota in 1963.
