New Delhi: Toyota Gazoo Racing has taken the covers off its most ambitious performance projects in recent years, revealing the GR GT road-legal supercar and the GR GT3 customer racing machine. It was shown publicly for the first time in prototype form, the two models signal the latest performance era built around cutting-edge engineering, lightweight construction and motorsport-derived philosophy. It comes with the newly developed 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor, a combination aiming for more than 650bhp and 850Nm of torque. TGR has specially designed the powertrain, chassis and aero package with three pillars in mind: an ultra-low centre of gravity, low weight with uncompromised rigidity, and aerodynamics engineered from first principles rather than styled into existence later.

The GR GT has been shaped as a pure driver’s car from the earliest sketches. Development teams led by Toyota chairman and master driver Akio Toyoda worked along with the professional racers to ensure the car responds precisely to driver inputs and maintains stability even at the limits of grip. Engineers started by lowering the engine, seating position and major mechanical components as far down as possible. The latest V8 sits behind the front axle with a dry-sump system, while a rear-mounted transaxle and carefully positioned hybrid components help the driver achieve a near-ideal 45:55 weight balance. The result is a car just 1,195mm tall, riding on a bespoke aluminium body frame, Toyota’s first of its kind, reinforced with strategic CFRP and plastic panels to keep mass under 1,750kg.
The GR GT’s exterior was shaped around the airflow targets determined by TGR’s aero team; the outcome is a purpose-built body that channels air for cooling, stability and downforce before aesthetics are considered. The interior follows a similarly functional path, with a snug two-seat cockpit, driver-optimised ergonomics and visibility tailored to track-speed driving, yet refined enough for daily use. The GR GT3 builds directly on the GR GT platform but is developed to full FIA GT3 specifications, the premier class for production-based customer racers. TGR aims to make the GR GT3 competitive out of the box for both professional drivers and gentleman racers, blending speed, consistency and predictable handling.
The GT3 version inherits the low-slung architecture, lightweight construction and aero-first design philosophy of the road car, but is engineered purely for the stopwatch. Toyota also has plans to support customer teams with a dedicated motorsport programme to ensure reliability, parts availability and race-winning potential.
