New Performance Sports Car For Track and Road

Japanese automotive giant Toyota has just confirmed that it has a gorgeous new sportscar under development.  It is called the GR GT3 and it is stunning.  The company is building a production prototype of the concept that it unveiled to rave reviews at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon. Toyota has secured two patents - one for the vehicle itself and the other for the unusual headlights - with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.  This new vehicle represents the likely direction that Toyota sports cars will take in terms of looks, styling, proportions and design in the future. 

What We Know

The 2-door grand tourer has a very long front hood and a very sporty, sleek and sculptured body. The design is clearly aerodynamic. According to automotive experts, the differentiating features are the rear wing, jutting rear diffuser and dramatic vents on the front fender. The vehicle is meant for speed on the racetrack and on the road. The GT3 development project is in the very early stages, so we don't know what type of powertrain it will have. Toyota has not disclosed the engine type, but experts say the configuration could span from an inline 4-cyclinder to a V12 engine with a power output of 500 to 600 hp.  The vehicle is meant to attract race car enthusiasts so it will clearly be a high-performance supercar. It should be available in the next year or so.  Some automotive experts forecast that the GR GT3 foreshadows an important new line of sports cars coming from Toyota.
