Under the skin

Small car.
Serious brief.

A front-engine, rear-drive coupe built around one idea: balance. Naturally aspirated flat-four up front, a proper manual in the middle, and just enough power to make every on-ramp an event.

About the driver

Brian Baek

By day, Brian works in network operations as an industrial engineer at DHL, keeping a very large machine running on schedule. By night — and on every back road he can find — he's a car person first.

He lives in Woodbridge, New Jersey, close enough to the city for everything it offers and close enough to open road for everything it doesn't. The GR86 is both: the daily driver and the excuse.

He's also a builder. This page — the scroll choreography, the layout, the copy — was put together with AI tooling, part of a growing stack of side projects across cars, design, and tech. The tools change; the taste is his.

The cockpit

Built around
the driver.

Low seat, thin pillars, a wheel that talks. Everything within reach, nothing in the way — the rare modern interior that still trusts you to drive.

After dark

Night
moves.

Trueno Blue earns its name after sunset — half navy, half electric, depending on what the streetlights are doing.
