Toyota Teases GR Flagship for Oct. 13 Reveal at Fuji Speedway

The official teaser signals a successor to the 2000GT/LFA lineage, raising expectations for a hybrid V8 supercar.

Overview

  • Toyota posted images from Fuji Speedway referencing the 2000GT and LFA beside a GR-badged silhouette, confirming a reveal for October 13 at 1:00 p.m. local time.
  • Coverage indicates the car will launch as a Gazoo Racing model rather than as the rumored Lexus LFR, with the teaser imagery showing a GR emblem.
  • Reports point to dual programs for road and GT3 racing versions, with camouflaged prototypes shown publicly at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
  • Outlets expect an aluminum chassis with carbon fiber bodywork and a twin-turbo V8 assisted by a self-charging hybrid system, though final specifications remain unconfirmed.
  • The presentation is billed as part of a wider multi-brand update touching GR, Lexus, Century and Daihatsu, while a prior insider report suggested GT3 deliveries could start late 2025 with the road car arriving later.
