Toyota just dropped the bombshell: the GR GT is here, and it’s gunning for the throne. Move over GR Supra, there’s a new king in town, and it’s got Mercedes-AMG GT in its crosshairs. Friday’s reveal wasn’t just another car launch—it was a statement, a full-throttle declaration that Gazoo Racing isn’t playing around anymore.
This thing? Pure madness. A street-legal beast with racing DNA coursing through its veins. Toyota’s performance division went full mad scientist, tossing in every trick from the 2000GT and LFA playbooks. Low-slung, feather-light, with aerodynamics so sharp they could cut glass. They didn’t just build a car; they engineered a weapon.
Under the hood? A monstrous 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, boosted by an electric sidekick, churning out a jaw-dropping 641 horses and 627 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive only, because why let physics have all the fun? Paired with an eight-speed box mounted out back, it’s aiming to crack 199 mph—making the LFA’s iconic V-10 look almost quaint by comparison.
Firsts? Oh, it’s got ‘em. An all-aluminum skeleton, clinging to rigidity while shedding pounds like a fighter on weigh-in day. The suspension? A double-wishbone setup so dialed-in it’ll carve corners like a scalpel. Stopping power comes courtesy of Brembo’s carbon discs, while Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s cling to pavement like glue.
The prototype’s looks? Brutal. A carbon-fiber-clad predator with a stance that screams “get outta my way.” Inside, it’s all business—Recaro buckets drowning in carbon fiber, cockpit vibes ripped straight from the LFA’s playbook. And here’s the kicker—no Toyota badge. Gazoo Racing’s pulling a Houdini, spinning off as its own brand when this monster hits the streets.
Price? Still hush-hush, but if you’ve got deep pockets—think mid-six-figure deep—start saving now. This isn’t just a car. It’s a revolution.
