Overview
- Toyota unveiled the GR GT road car and the GR GT3 competition model as development prototypes, with specifications presented as targets rather than final production figures.
- The GR GT targets a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 hybrid setup with about 650 CV and 850 Nm, rear‑wheel drive, an eight‑speed wet‑clutch automatic, and a projected top speed above 320 km/h.
- Engine and packaging highlights include a hot‑V turbo layout, dry‑sump lubrication, low mounting for a lower center of gravity, and a rear transaxle integrating the transmission, differential, and an electric motor.
- Both cars introduce Toyota’s first all‑aluminum monocoque with CFRP elements, an aero‑led design approach, double‑wishbone suspension, Brembo carbon‑ceramic brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
- Media reports suggest pricing near $500,000 and availability around the 2027 model year, which Toyota has not formally confirmed.
