Toyota Gazoo Racing unveiled the GR Super Sport Concept right before the 2018 Tokyo Auto Salon. The fierce new concept shares many parts with the TS050 Hybrid race car, as seen in the World Endurance Championship.

Powered by a 2.4-litre twin-turbo direct injection V6 engine together with the Toyota Hybrid System – Racing (THS-R), the concept has a combined output of 986 hp. The appearance of the GR Super Sport Concept is unique too. The engineers have gone full circuit, as there are no obvious doors, no headlights and no rear windows.

Shigeki Tomoyama, President of GAZOO Racing Company stated, “Rather than developing production cars into sports cars, we aim to work out how to incorporate the know-how developed through races and rallies into production cars amid various restrictions.” The GR Super Sport Concept certainly does a good job of reflecting Toyota’s ambitions in bringing production sports cars to the next level.
