- Toyota is developing a new supercar that will spawn a GT3 race variant.
- The GR GT3 is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
- A new video shows what the race car will sound like when it hits the track.
Toyota is developing a new supercar. It’s called the GR GT, which Toyota describes as a road-legal race car, but the car is also producing a proper GT3 race version, and it looks downright dangerous.
New one Instagram video from user khuritz and UK’s car magazine Captured the GR GT3 on track, and you can clearly hear its 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 growling. The car’s engine was designed to meet FIA GT3 regulations.
Toyota is aiming for 640 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque in the road-going car, and the short video captures the GR GT3 race car running alongside a bus while accelerating rapidly. You can clearly hear the wheeze as well as the growl of the twin turbochargers.
Toyota unveiled the GR GT and GR GT3 in December 2025, and road-going versions are expected to go on sale in late 2027. The car features an all-aluminium frame, a newly developed eight-speed automatic transmission, and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and aluminum body panels.
Inside, the GR GT features a driver-focused cabin and carbon-backed Recaro bucket seats that you won’t find in the race version. The GR GT3 has more aggressive aerodynamics, such as a front splitter, a larger wing and fender louvers. The race car also ditches the eight-speed auto for a sequential gearbox.
Motor1’s Opinion: The Toyota GR GT3 looks and sounds like a proper race car. We can’t wait to see it on the track with other race cars.
