Toyota Motor Corp. has revealed the prototype for its upcoming GR GT supercar, a flagship model set to enter the market around 2027. Designed to compete directly with elite brands such as Ferrari and Porsche, the new model aims to push the boundaries of the high-performance supercar segment.
The GR GT, part of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing (GR) brand, features a road-legal racing concept with an exceptionally low center of gravity. The two-seat, rear-wheel-drive supercar is powered by a newly developed 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine paired with a single electric motor, delivering a target output exceeding 650 horsepower and a top speed of more than 320 kph.
The prototype measures 4,820 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, 1,195 mm in height, and has a 2,725-mm wheelbase. Toyota has not yet announced the expected price for the upcoming model.
Positioned as Toyota’s new flagship, the GR GT follows the legacy of iconic models such as the Toyota 2000GT and the Lexus LFA, both known for their exclusivity and advanced engineering. The 2000GT, produced between 1967 and 1970 in just 337 units, gained global recognition after its appearance in a James Bond film. The Lexus LFA, powered by a 4.8-liter V10 engine, saw a limited run of 500 units from 2010 to 2012.
At the world premiere held at Toyota’s Woven City experimental facility in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, the company also introduced two additional prototypes: the GR GT3 and the Lexus LFA Concept. The GR GT3 is a gasoline-powered racing model that meets FIA GT3 specifications, while the LFA Concept previews an upcoming electric supercar under development for the Lexus brand.
