Toyota has started testing the GR GT3 in European tracks, following development in Japan

The new racer is heavily based on the GR GT3 Concept from 2022. Toyota is targeting a racing debut at the 2026 24 Hours at Daytona. This potent new race car will spawn a road-going Lexus . The successor to the Lexus RC F GT3 race car has been filmed undergoing high-speed testing at Spa-Francorchamps before its racing debut in 2026. Toyota has been working on this new car for quite some time.

Other key aero elements visible include a gaping-wide rear diffuser and a rear wing with swan-neck uprights. Like the concept, the prototype also has side-existing exhausts. That brings us to the engine. The new race car is tipped to receive a twin-turbocharged V8, and based on sound alone, that seems to be precisely the type of engine this prototype has. The engine emits a throaty and bassy sound and should have plenty of power.
