TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) has officially unveiled two groundbreaking flagship models, the GR GT and its FIA GT3-spec race variant, the GR GT3. These twin supercars embody TGR’s philosophy of engineering “ever-better motorsports-bred cars,” continuing the lineage of legends like the Toyota 2000GT and Lexus LFA.
At the heart of both machines is the newly developed 4.0-liter, V8 twin-turbo engine, a powerplant that achieves maximum system output of 650 PS (641 horsepower) and over 850 Nm of torque. This formidable power is paired with groundbreaking architecture: the GR GT features Toyota’s first-ever all-aluminum body frame for high rigidity and light weight, contributing to an ideal 45:55 front-to-rear weight distribution.
The development was a collaborative “one-team approach,” advanced under Master Driver Akio Toyoda (Morizo), who worked in unison with professional drivers and engineers. The core focus was achieving three key elements: low weight, low center of gravity, and optimal aerodynamic performance.
The GR GT was conceived as a road-legal race car, while the GR GT3 is its uncompromising sibling, engineered for customers who demand race-winning capabilities in the top category of customer motorsports. Both models are the result of veterans transferring crucial car-making skills to a younger generation, ensuring the brand’s “secret sauce” of performance continues into the future. The two flagships are slated for launch around 2027.
