NEW Toyota GR GT Twin-Turbo V8 (650PS) - SOUND & World Premiere

You're going to be on channel! So what do you think about these? The GR GT and its race car sibling the GR GT3 will be joined by the all-new Lexus LFA concept here to form the sports car apex for both Lexus and GR. All from one race-bred platform true to GR's promise of pushing the limits for better and contributing to the entire Toyota group and all part of Accio's promise of no more boring cars. Now the GT3 category where the story of these three cars begins is all about making cars for people who want to win. For professionals and also privateer racers. For everybody it all starts with speed. Without speed there's nothing. For the GR GT3 race car, four litre V8 twin turbo engine, completely rigid aluminium space frame, an incredibly low centre of gravity, state-of-the-art aerodynamics, all the critical elements are in place. But speed in itself is not everything. The race is much more than the home straight and the real art is how you control that speed. In a real-life situation, as our Mazda driver Morizzo likes to say, it all comes down to kaiwa. A conversation between driver and car. The GT3 is engineered to give you confidence in all situations. To feel reassured that the conversation, even at the limits, in the severest of situations, it's all about the car giving you the feedback that you need to guide you in making split-second decisions. Fluent communication, knowing how the car will respond so that there are no misunderstandings. Bringing out the best in your abilities so you can push the car and yourself even further. GR GT speaks to both types of driver. The professional driver and the recreational driver. Whether that's two different people or you and your alter ego. Now an integral part of any conversation with a car is sound. Not only during acceleration but deceleration and braking. To understand the importance of this, look no further than 30 minutes drive from here to Fuji Speedway and the transition from the home straight into the first tight corner. To brake as late as possible, deeper, faster and power out with confidence following your ideal line. This may be the first time that we focus not only on the sound a car makes when you put your foot down but the visceral, guttural sound when you take your foot off. The conversation you have on an ordinary street is different. The GR GT road car with the same V8 twin turbo but with hybrid power shares the DNA of its racing counterpart more than any other car we've ever made. For this the team worked not only at the limits of a car but at the limits of the development process. Production, car test drivers working hand in hand with racing drivers. This is a circuit ready everyday driver. Wild on a track day, easy to drive around town. Take it for a stint at the track, stop at a nice restaurant on the way home.
