Overview

• Motorsport development from Super Taikyu informed the refresh, aiming for greater stability during high‑G track use.
• Toyota added 13.9 meters of structural adhesive for a 32.7‑meter total, focused on the front body, floor and rear wheel areas to increase rigidity with minimal weight gain.
• A high‑engine‑speed cool‑air duct now feeds the secondary intake to lower intake temperatures and sustain output under prolonged hard driving.
• Peak output stays around 300 hp and 400 Nm from the 1.6‑liter turbo, with six‑speed manual or eight‑speed automatic transmissions unchanged.
• A software upgrade for earlier owners arrives in spring 2026, adding about 30 Nm and revising GR‑Four settings, including a 50:50 Gravel mode and a variable Track range from 60:40 to 30:70, as Toyota also increases supply and moves away from lottery sales with added UK production for exports.
