TOYOTA GR GT Spotted Testing on The Road | Lexus LFA Successor | Supercar News | Gazoo Racing

[@lordmegatron65]

The LFA has always been one of my favorites! So glad to see that it's getting a successor! It looks really good imo!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

Surely hope to be a V8, but considering Toyota's Le Mans history, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a twin turbo V6 hybrid package...

[@lordmegatron65]

@Roddy_Zeh Fingers crossed for the V8! Would make more sense in my opinion!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

@@lordmegatron65 I hear ya! Specially because I remember Lexus testing a twin turbo V8 since a year or two ago. I don't think they'd do all, gathering know-how, just to go to waste...🤔

[@brandonchase7273]

​@Roddy_Zeh I completely forgot about that engine. Have not heard about it since

[@lancewood1410]

Should be a Lexus as a flagship coupe/sports car. It was NEVER meant to be made 'affordable'.

[@TheBlueCreeper-]

If they want to get away with the pricing, its HAS to be a Lexus. And then they can do a downgraded version as a Toyota. It shouldn't be a Supra, Celica or MR2 tho. The Supra is meant to be the V6, Celica was the 4cylinder, and the MR2 was mid-engine so those should be ruled out at least imo. Make it its own thing at the top of the lineup. Maybe a revived 2000GT?? 👀 That would be cool! The 2000GT is a GORGEOUS classic sports Toyota not many people know about so it would be nice to bring the name back and as a result, get more people to know about the original 60's car.

[@HSGAutomotive]

5000GT, lol

[@TheBlueCreeper-]

@ 2000GT. The 5000GT was an early 2000's rumor that never got made. I just googled it you made me doubt my Toyota knowledge for a second there haha. 😅

[@HSGAutomotive]

@ No, I was alluding to what this new one would be

[@TheBlueCreeper-]

@ OHHH. Ok Im stupid lmao. My bad sorry 🤣🤣

[@jay_cars_story]

I think can be a very good gt7 car

[@Sinancan93]

This is more of a LC500 Successor for me

[@HSGAutomotive]

Nah, LC500 is nice to drive but its certainly no supercar

[@2URLex]

@@Sinancan93 this is for us RCF guys lol our GT3 car won the IMSA championship last year and 2024 is the last year of manufacturing for the RCF so this new homologation will be the successor. LC500 and IS500 are nice but they are not F cars even if they share the 2UR-GSE.

[@ScottEDawg]

In 2026, the Australian V8 Supercar Series will be adding the new GR Supra to it's ranks, so it is my guess that this might be it!

[@2URLex]

WITH my Engine!! It’ll be completely Japanese with the swap.

[@yousef.al-assaf]

Yes, keep it fully Japanese. To Hell with the B58. Show 'em the 2UR-GSE glory!

[@navdeepsingh3508]

God bless gt3 rules

[@2URLex]

Love homologation rules!!

[@omarawilson2853]

I just hope the road car has a manual transmission. If it’s a GR I find it more likely that it would get one

[@zyberworld]

2:07 "Toyota's going to put enough development into this thing that you know it's going to be good even if it doesn't win" Ouch! I felt that deeply but...truth is truth 😅

[@Pk-xw6hp]

Love your contents, can you do Lancia delta rally setup and dtm? Please thank you

[@HSGAutomotive]

Possibly, but we are supposed to be getting actual Delta rally cars in GT7, at least from the leaked list, so I try to avoid doing vehicles which we're supposed to be getting anyway

[@samaraiza]

I don’t see this as an LFA replacement. Probably more of an LC-F replacement. LCF was never produced, I think they just went straight for this.

[@jamsbong]

If a car appears in one of the Fast and Furious movies. you know its going to appreciate in value.

[@THEBOZZ1801]

I work at Toyota in Germany, I know that this will have the 5.0V8 from the Lexus RCF GT3 my boss has a little connection to GR

[@mesopotamian97]

Twin turbo?

[@THEBOZZ1801]

@@mesopotamian97 nope N/A as the race version

[@mesopotamian97]

@@THEBOZZ1801 so it's probably going to be a hybrid as I don't see it making that much power from the N/A V8

[@THEBOZZ1801]

@@mesopotamian97 550hp is enough for GT3 as it is their maximum power limit and the RCF GT3 V8 is perfect for that. No additional engine engineering needed so they save cost and it's proven and reliable. They do the same thing AMG did with their 6.2V8 from the SLS into the GT

[@mesopotamian97]

@@THEBOZZ1801 that's gonna depend on how much the car weights. If the car is light enough then yup that's more than enough power. Hopefully it's not as heavy as the LC500

[@ap2831381]

With this, I believe new RX7,8 or 9 will coming with due Toyota and Mazda use same platform for their new flag ship. As my hunch think.

[@CyanRooper]

The overall shape does bear a strong resemblance to the RX7. However Mazda did recently make a concept car called the Iconic SP which is a hybrid rotary sports car that looks like a modernised RX7 that is as small as a Miata while this GR-GT car looks closer to a slightly bigger Honda S2000.

[@leeedens9497]

Why does it feel like Toyota/Lexus is a generation behind other car companies, Corvette proved the limiting factors of a front mid-engine layout, what happened to that mid-engine Toyota GR Super Sport concept, there's a reason Chevy changed the layout of the Corvette, besides, it isn't like all the other front mid-engine layout sports cars are selling like hotcakes, it's like when Lexus did LFA V10 when the competition moved to force induction V8, a hybrid force induction V8, about F___ing time, plenty of exotic brands have done this for their exotic sports cars already

[@charleshulsey3103]

Supra ?!?! Really cool, as long as it's not a BMW.

[@2URLex]

@@charleshulsey3103 nope not a Supra

[@HotSimit]

So the next supra is getting a v8

[@cj41079]

Please no hybrid....please

[@AbrahamArthemius]

The GT3 version will use a V8. Still no concrete info if it's NA or Twin Turbo, but the rumours seem to go with the TTV8). The road version will be a hybrid (following Lexus/Toyota's approach in electrifying their line up) with that V8 rumoured to be around 900hp but we shall see when more stuff coming around.

[@GF-mf7ml]

Toyota make so many prius. If this is hybrid it'll going to obsolete. Battery revolution is just started.

[@keithjackson4985]

This, is ugly! I don't care what it sounds like. Asthetics are important at this level!
