Toyota Gazoo Racing Unveils GR GT Road Prototype and GR GT3 Racer

Both enter validation ahead of a projected 2027 debut with specs presented as development targets.

Overview

  • The GR GT pairs a new 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 with an integrated rear electric motor in a hybrid layout targeting about 650 CV and 850 Nm.
  • Toyota debuts its first all‑aluminum monocoque with CFRP components, prioritizing a low center of gravity, high rigidity, and aerodynamics defined before exterior styling.
  • A new rear transaxle module houses the transmission, differential, and e‑motor, linked by a CFRP torque tube to an eight‑speed wet‑clutch automatic for quicker shifts.
  • Target figures for the GR GT include weight under 1,750 kg, a top speed above 320 km/h, and dimensions of 4,820 mm length, 2,000 mm width, and 1,195 mm height.
  • A parallel GR GT3 is being developed to FIA GT3 regulations for customer teams, while pricing and exact timing remain unconfirmed, with some outlets estimating around $500,000 near 2027.
