Overview
- The GR GT debuts with a newly developed 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 hybrid targeting at least 478 kW (641 hp) and 850 Nm, a 320 km/h top speed, rear‑wheel drive with a rear transaxle, and a weight goal of 1,750 kg or less with 45:55 balance.
- Toyota’s first extensive all‑aluminum frame underpins the GR GT and LFA Concept, paired with aero‑first design, double‑wishbone suspension, carbon‑ceramic brakes, and CFRP body panels.
- The GR GT3 customer racer, developed alongside the road car and using the same new V8 (without hybrid per GT3 rules), is slated for competition entry around 2027 and is intended to succeed the Lexus RC F GT3.
- Lexus’ LFA Concept is a battery‑electric two‑seater sharing the platform and driving position with the GR GT, but the company has not disclosed powertrain specifications or a production timetable.
- Toyota says specifications remain targets as development continues, with global launch and customer deliveries of the GR GT planned from 2027 following testing at Shimoyama, Fuji Speedway and the Nürburgring.
