Strip the Toyota GR GT back to its specification sheet and the character is already there: Petrol engine, 650 PS. Toyota built from 2027, in the decade the industry is turning electric. The shape is credited to Takashi Doi.
The background
The Toyota GR GT, officially branded simply as GR GT, is an upcoming sports car/grand tourer (S-segment) to be produced by Toyota under the Gazoo Racing (GR) brand with production starting in 2027. It was previewed by the GR GT3 Concept unveiled at the January 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon.
The camouflaged road-going version and its racing variant debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2025, and was fully unveiled at its world premiere on 5 December 2025. In the United States, the car will be available in select Lexus dealerships instead of Toyota dealerships.
The engineering
The engine is Petrol engine; the output is 650 PS; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 1750 kg. That is roughly 371 horsepower per tonne: genuine supercar pace. Drive goes through a 8-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2725 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Toyota line-up the Toyota GR GT has a clear place: the factory was Japan. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Alpine A390, the Ferrari Luce, the Jeep Recon. Its Toyota stablemates include the Toyota Agya and the Toyota Calya.
