The news cycle usually slows down near the end of the year, but this will be a December to remember thanks to Toyota. We’ve already learned a new supercar will break cover on Friday morning in Japan, but it turns out there’s more to the story. The GR GT will share the spotlight with a Lexus-badged model, and as if that weren’t enough, a track-only machine will join them as well.
A new teaser image puts the road-going Toyota front and center. It might not actually carry the Toyota badge since the automotive juggernaut recently announced plans to make Gazoo Racing a separate brand. Consequently, the car hiding in the shadows might simply be known as the GR GT.
But the more intriguing part of the teaser is the swoopy coupe on the left. It appears to have a more dramatic roofline than the GR. It’s undoubtedly the Lexus version since the taillight design matches that of the Sport Concept. We’ve adjusted the image’s brightness to reveal more design details, including the textured glass panel housing a vertical third brake light.
Both the GR and its Lexus counterpart are expected to share an already announced V-8. The newly developed gas engine reportedly displaces 4.0 liters and uses a pair of turbochargers. Expect some form of electrification, but not necessarily a plug-in hybrid. For what it’s worth, the Sport Concept mentioned earlier was definitely a hybrid.
This is a developing story...
