Toyota Reveals New GR GT Supercar Termed The ‘Road-Legal’ Race Car

SAUDI ARABIA: Toyota has always had top-tier sports cars in its lineups, models like the Toyota 2000GT and the Lexus LFA were well loved and a testament of Japanese engineering. The Toyota Gazoo Racing division has now launched the latest flagship sports car, the GR GT. From a street design to having 640 hp on tap, the GR GT has many impressive standpoints to actually become a highly sought after model for enthusiasts. The term ‘road legal’ race car truly does embody the car.

Toyota GR GT Vision & Performance

The GR GT was developed with three key focus areas, the centre of gravity of the car was needed to be low, the curb weight of the car must be manageable to aid performance, and the ride quality was required to be rigid to maximise aerodynamic performance. All these factors have been implemented in the car with a minimum of 640 hp available for drivers, a low centre of gravity near your knees, and the car uses Toyota’s first all-aluminium frame to keep the weight low.

Under the hood the car gets a new twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a single electric motor. The motor is integrated into the transaxle of the car. The car gets rear-wheel drive with a newly designed eight-speed automatic gearbox. The most impressive feature about the GR GT is that the figure of 640 hp is a target for the model and Toyota aims to offer higher values for the production models.

Toyota GR GT Interiors

The cabin of the GR GT will be heavily driver focused. There are carbon-backed Recaro bucket seats, which look amazing. The entire interiors feel much like a Lexus car more than a Toyota, and surprisingly there are no Toyota badges anywhere in the interior. The overall interiors do a terrific job at balancing practicality with luxury features.
