It started with the legendary Toyota 2000GT. Decades later, Lexus gave us the LFA. Now, Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division arrives with its latest flagship sports car. This is the GR GT, and Toyota calls it a road-legal race car.

Three key elements define the GR GT's development. The center of gravity must be low, the curb weight should be relatively low, and the car needs to be quite rigid to maximize aerodynamic performance.

Those three tenets serve as the through-line of the car, and based on the numbers, Toyota seems to have stuck to its guns. The GR GT boasts at least 640 horsepower. That center of gravity is down by your knees, and the weight is surprisingly low thanks to Toyota’s first all-aluminum frame.

Power arrives courtesy of a brand-new twin-turbocharged V-8 engine with a single electric motor integrated into the transaxle. Toyota is targeting the aforementioned 640 hp figure as well as a healthy 627 pound-feet of torque. All of the oomph is shoved rearward through a newly developed eight-speed automatic gearbox.
