A new Toyota GR GT variant has been spied testing at the Nurburgring.
The prototype features a radical aerodynamic package aimed at competing with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Market launch of the supercar is expected in 2027.
Distinct Aero Package
Our photographers caught a camouflaged prototype lapping the circuit.
The car wore a sharper splitter, canards, vented fenders, and a fixed rear wing.
That wing is smaller than the one on the GT3 racer but still prominent.
Differences from the standard GR GT are clear at a glance.
The track-only GR GT3 has side exhausts, Lexan windows, a reshaped hood, racing tires, and a redesigned tail.
None of these features appear on this prototype.
Toyota has not confirmed if these carbon-fiber parts will be an optional kit or a limited-run special.
Both possibilities remain open.
To rival models like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, Gazoo Racing may combine the aero with a sharper suspension.
A hotter version of the hybrid twin-turbo V8 is also possible, exceeding the current 641 hp (478 kW / 650 PS).
More details on the hardcore GR GT should emerge in the coming months.
The standard model arrives in 2027, with the GR GT3 debuting soon after in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
