The upcoming Toyota GT supercar might be making its official debut very soon – December 5, 2025 to be exact, if the countdown on the Toyota Gazoo Racing website is anything to go by. Dubbed the Toyota GR GT, the car is shown alongside iconic Toyota legends from the yesteryears, including the Toyota 2000 GT and the Lexus LFA, further cementing its status as the Japanese marque’s next halo model.
The Toyota GR GT name was revealed by Toyota Chairman, Akio Toyoda, during a company’s recent “Five Brands” livestream, and according to a report from Autocar, it is expected to make its first public appearance at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January next year.
While details of the GR GT is still under wraps, the concept vehicle’s jaunt up the hills during the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed (FOS) does give us some hints at what to expect, including two different versions of the car – a GT3 race car, and a homologated variant destined for road use.
The race car version featured an unmistakeable V8 howl, though the road-going GR GT concept that came before it zoomed past relatively silently, pointing at a hybridised version of the V8 engine – a move that has long been hinted by the suits in Toyota’s boardrooms.

Despite its status as the upcoming Toyota halo car, the true title of the “LFA successor” will most likely be reserved to another sister car based on the GR GT, as previewed by the Lexus Sports Concept. Unveiled during this year’s Monterey Car Week, the car was seen sporting very different looks but with similar proportions.
Aside from the GR GT, Toyota has also recently hinted at a whole bunch of other enthusiast-friendly models, including the FT-Se Concept, widely regarded as the MR2’s spiritual successor, and even the possible Celica revival, which would make perfect sense as a rival to the Honda Prelude.
Exciting times ahead for Toyota fans, and don’t be surprised if more than one of these make their way to the Tokyo Auto Salon next year.
