<P> Toyota Racing Development (also known by its abbreviation TRD) is the in - house tuning shop for all Toyota, Lexus and formerly Scion cars . TRD is responsible both for improving street cars for more performance and supporting Toyota's racing interests around the world . TRD produces various tuning products and accessories, including performance suspension components, superchargers, and wheels . TRD parts are available through Toyota dealers, and are also available as accessories on brand - new Toyotas and Scions . Performance parts for Lexus vehicles are now labeled as F - Sport and performance Lexus models are labeled F to distinguish Lexus's F division from TRD . </P> <P> As of June 2013 there are currently two official branches of TRD: TRD Japan (a.k.a. Toyota Technocraft) and TRD USA . Each of these branches has both a performance tuning division and a race (or competition) division . Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) ran the Toyota Formula One Team (also known as Panasonic Toyota Racing) and is not under the control of TRD as TMG is a completely separate entity . </P>
