Toyota GAZOO Racing unveils GR GT Supercar and GR GT3 race car

[AM222]

This Toyota seems interesting, front-mid engine, rear-wheel drive with a transaxle, and aluminum construction. It's powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with a single electric motor integrated into its transaxle. It should produce 640hp or greater, and 627lb-ft or greater of torque. Its target weight of 1750kg (3858lbs) or less isn't too bad since it's a hybrid.

The GR GT boasts at least 640 horsepower. That center of gravity is down by your knees, and the weight is surprisingly low thanks to Toyota’s first all-aluminum frame.
 

Power arrives courtesy of a brand-new twin-turbocharged V-8 engine with a single electric motor integrated into the transaxle. Toyota is targeting the aforementioned 640 hp figure as well as a healthy 627 pound-feet of torque. All of the oomph is shoved rearward through a newly developed eight-speed automatic gearbox.

@DeluxeStang should have a field day with this one.  😎. Styling is very AMG GT.

 

Looks like Toyotas version of the mustang GT3/GTD.  I heard rumors of a $500K price tag which I don't believe.  I think $200k-$300k is more realistic.

 

Interesting that they went front engine and not mid engine.  Performance should be stellar.

Yeah I'm digging it. If you kinda split the difference between this, and the s650, and landed somewhere in the middle, that's kinda the styling direction I'd like to see the mustang go in, it just has a ton of road presence.

 

As for price, people are quoting 120k for the road car in multiple articles which wouldn't be terrible to be honest. But I don't know if that's a price Toyota has actually thrown out there, or if it's just speculation.

They also showed an LFA "concept" that's EV....it's a closer to production version of that concept from a few months back.

Like what if the road going Mustang had the low-slung stance/profile of a Mustang GT3 race car.


The GR GT and the GR GT3 race car are almost identical (sort of like the Ford GT).

I've actually said that exact thing myself with the mustang gt3. Just evolving the proportions of the mustang but trying to keep the essence of it. 

 

My ideal take on a next gen mustang design would be something with the lines of a 1967 gt 500, but with the proportions of a Lexus LC 500, and the surfacing of an Aston Martin. Trying to retain that muscle car feel, but moving it in a more evocative direction.

Basically, keeping the Mustang silhouette but making it low again.
I'm surprised at the small advantage in front and rear headroom the Mustang has over the GR86 despite being some 3 inches taller. The GR86 height is similar to the classic fastback Mustangs.

GR GT being a 2-seater can get away with the very low roofline and lower center of gravity.

Mustang probably has a better seating position/view of the road.

 

Mustang needs to remain practical/usable as a daily driver - look at Camaro when it went too far into sports car/performance direction.

GR86 has a low cowl/hood, visibility shouldn't be an issue. I'm guessing the window and windshield height (top to bottom) is similar to the Mustang. 

Just ignore the caption/title. Lol
