Toyota GR GT3 Breaks Cover Alongside Road-Legal GR GT Supercar

After what felt like an endless loop of teasers, spy shots, and “maybe next month” rumors, Toyota finally showed the car everyone has been waiting for. Not just one, actually - the road-legal GR GT and its track-hungry twin, the GR GT3.

For Toyota, this is a big moment. This is the most serious performance car the company has ever put its name on. Think 2000GT heritage, LFA ambition, and a whole new level of engineering.

It all starts with an aluminum frame and carbon-reinforced panels. That keeps the GR GT around 1,750 kilos. Toyota aimed for a 45:55 balance, which pretty much gives away the plan—they wanted a car that loves corners.

Size-wise, it’s long, low, and wide.
4,820 mm long.
2,000 mm wide.
Barely 1,195 mm tall.

Now for the part everyone has been whispering about for months: the engine. Yes, the rumors were true. It gets an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a dry sump and a rear-mounted eight-speed transaxle. Rear-wheel drive only. Toyota says the car will make “641 horsepower or more” and “627 lb-ft or more.” When a company starts using “or more,” you know they’re still fine-tuning.

There’s also an electric motor helping out. Not for saving the planet here, but for making the power hit harder and faster. From the outside, the GR GT looks every bit as serious as the numbers suggest. A long hood, sharp headlights, a low stance, and 20-inch wheels wrapped in 265s up front and 325s at the back. 

Carbon-ceramic brakes handle stopping duties. Double wishbones all around manage the corners. Top speed? Toyota says 199 mph or more. Again with the “or more.” 

Inside, the car goes straight for a full performance vibe. Red leather and Alcantara cover almost everything. There’s a custom digital cluster, a GR wheel, proper paddles, and a big screen in the middle. For now, the GR GT and GR GT3 are still prototypes. Pricing? No clue yet. Deliveries should start in 2027, so we have time to save.
