Mat’s having his first look at the GR GT!
It’s an all-new sports car that’s due for release in 2027, and Toyota’s invited Mat down for a look around the prototype version. So what have we learned so far? Let’s take a closer look…
In terms of the design, it’s a car where the production process started with the engineers in the wind tunnel, before it was handed over to the designers. As a result, every single vent you see on the outside is real! From the front to the side to the rear, this car is 100% stick of truth certified! What’s more, we believe there to be an active rear wing around the back, although we couldn’t see it in action with this prototype. It’s also covered in GR and GT badges across the exterior, but no Toyota badges. That’s because GR is now an individual sub-brand, so the official name of the car will simply be GR GT - not the Toyota GR GT!
When you step into the interior, the first thing you’ll notice are the set of carbon fibre bucket seats. These come fitted with red seat belts, and there are red elements throughout the rest of the cabin - a reflection of this car being a GR development. It comes with a sports steering wheel with a flat bottom, which also has a drive mode selector fitted to it. There’s Alcantara across the dash and roof lining, and there’s also physical buttons below the infotainment screen! We haven’t seen the infotainment screen or digital dials in action yet, although they will be shared in due course.
Under the bonnet will sit a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid. We know it will produce more than 650hp and 850Nm, although we don’t have final figures yet. Toyota also claim that the GR GT will have a top speed of at least 199mph - so you can guarantee the final car will exceed 200mph!
But the GR GT isn’t the only car Mat’s gone to see - he’ll also be having a look around the all-new Lexus LFA Concept! But what can he reveal about this all-new car? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
