Toyota Unveils GR GT Hybrid Supercar and GT3 Racer as Lexus Revives LFA as Electric Concept

Toyota targets 2027 deliveries on a new all‑aluminum platform, with Lexus confirming a BEV LFA Concept that keeps powertrain details under wraps.

Overview

  • Toyota’s GR GT debuts with a newly developed 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo hybrid V8 targeting about 478 kW (650 PS/641 hp) and 850 Nm and a top speed of roughly 320 km/h.
  • The GR GT is built on Toyota’s first all‑aluminum frame with CFRP body panels, targets 1,750 kg or less, and is balanced to a 45/55 front‑rear weight distribution.
  • The race‑ready GR GT3 was revealed alongside the road car, with both models slated for customer availability around 2027 following ongoing development.
  • Lexus introduced the two‑seat LFA Concept as a pure electric model sharing the GR GT’s aluminum structure and 2,725 mm wheelbase but withheld battery, motor, output, and range details.
  • Toyota and Lexus framed the trio under a ‘Shikinen Sengu’ skills‑transfer program that links the new cars to the 2000GT and original LFA heritage.
