TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) is committed to further accelerating customer motorsports activities to make the world of motorsports sustainable. Promoting “driver first” car development and with a desire to provide attractive cars that customers participating in GT3, which is the pinnacle of customer motorsports, would choose, TGR has unveiled the GR GT3 Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022. By commercializing motorsports cars rather than simply adapting production vehicles for use in motorsports, TGR intends to use feedback and technologies refined through participation in various motorsports activities to develop both GT3 and mass-production cars and further promote making ever-better motorsports-bred cars.
Toyota have unveiled their sleek new customer GT3 race car concept developed by Gazoo Racing. Set to race in the pinnacle of customer motorsports, GT3, the new concept aims to promote driver first development whilst making motorsports more sustainable. Not much is known about the mechanicals at this stage, but the styling department seem to have nailed it. With a long hood, short overhangs and giant rear wing, the GR GT3 concept certainly looks the part of a race car. Here’s hoping some of those styling cues make it into Toyota road cars in the near future.
Toyota Gazoo Racing (or Toyota GR/TGR) is a motorsport/performance brand of the Japanese automaker Toyota.
