Toyota Reveals Advanced Supercar Prototype with V8 Power, over 470kW!
- Toyota revealed via a livestream from its Higashi‑Fuji plant the GR GT road car and a GT3 race version alongside the Lexus LFA Concept, framing them as the sports car apex of its brands and due for release.
- Framed as a strategic effort, the models aim to pass on skills developed during the LFA's creation and to elevate Gazoo Racing as one of Toyota's five core global brands.
- Under the skin, the GR GT combines Toyota's first all‑aluminium chassis with CFRP body panels and torque tube, a rear transaxle with wet‑clutch eight‑speed transmission, double‑wishbone suspension, Brembo carbon‑ceramic brakes, and 20‑inch Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
- No pricing or showroom timing has been announced, and Toyota said regional lineups are still being evaluated locally, with no conventional manual gearbox confirmed.
- The GT3 variant ties directly to the road car by sharing the same V8, suspension, and key hardware, while Toyota expands motorsport with TGR Haas F1 and Supercars via Walkinshaw Andretti United and Chaz Mostert.
