Revealed as under-development prototypes, both cars blend Toyota’s legendary racing DNA with next-generation engineering rooted in the spirit of the 2000GT and Lexus LFA.
GR GT
• Road-legal race car concept
• Newly-developed 4.0L twin-turbo V8 hybrid (650+ hp target)
• Toyota’s first all-aluminum body frame
• Aero-first design philosophy shaped directly by WEC engineers
• 45:55 weight distribution, 320+ km/h target
• Developed with Akio Toyoda (Morizo) and pro drivers
GR GT3
• FIA GT3-spec customer race car based on the GR GT
• Carbon-ceramic brakes, bespoke Michelin Cup 2 tires
• Born for competition — tested at Nürburgring, Fuji & Shimoyama
• Built to be “easy to drive, hard to beat” for both pros and gentlemen drivers
Both models apply Toyota’s newest development methods: full-cycle simulator engineering, motorsport durability testing, and reverse-flow packaging to achieve extreme agility and aero efficiency.
