Overview
- Toyota’s GR GT prototype debuts with a new 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 and a transaxle hybrid module targeting at least 650 PS, about 850 Nm and a top speed above 320 km/h.
- The GR GT uses Toyota’s first largely aluminum load‑bearing structure with carbon‑composite panels, a target curb weight of roughly 1,750 kg and a 45:55 front‑rear balance.
- Gazoo Racing presented the GR GT3 race car developed alongside the road model, expected to forgo hybrid drive for competition and to aim for homologation and entry around 2027.
- Akio Toyoda (“Morizo”) led development with professional drivers, emphasizing a low center of gravity, race‑derived aerodynamics, Brembo carbon‑ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
- Lexus revived the LFA name with a battery‑electric concept featuring near‑production proportions; detailed battery and output figures remain undisclosed while a launch timeframe around 2027 is indicated.
