Toyota Flips the Script: GR GT3 Race Car Defines the Road Car

Toyota has reversed its traditional development cycle for the new GR GT, designing the race car first and adapting the road version to match. The GR GT3 shares over 80% of its components with the road car, a significant leap from the 25% commonality of the previous Lexus RC F GT3. While the road car features a 641-hp hybrid V8, the race car uses a non-hybrid version of the same engine, marking a major shift in Toyota's approach to sports car racing.

Texas Center Gears Lexus Dealers Up for Toyota's GR GT Supercar

Toyota has quietly built a 36,000-square-foot GR Experience Center in Frisco, Texas to train Lexus dealers to sell and drive its upcoming GR GT supercar, a 641-hp twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor, expected in the U.S. in 2027 and priced above $200,000. The facility houses racing memorabilia and a driving-focused showroom, with a separate GR Academy planned at Eagles Canyon Raceway to showcase GR performance on track. Over 100 Lexus dealers have already signed on to carry the new GR lineup, signaling a shift in Toyota's strategy for its high-performance brand.
