Toyota is about to drop a bombshell this December, shaking up the performance car world with not one, not two, but three adrenaline-pumping machines. Big reveal? Taking place in Japan on December 5th, this will be a game changer. Front and center: A road-going beast that might ditch the classic Toyota badge in favor of something bolder – the GR GT. A leaked trailer shows just the thing – a robbery camera flanked by a sleek Lexus supercar with curves that can cut glass. Those tail lights? Pure aggression, echoing the Lexus Sport concept, while textured glass panels frame vertical brake lights like some high-tech exclamation point.
Under the hood, rumors suggest Toyota’s latest powerful twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 will likely feature hybrid technology. This isn’t your grandma’s plug-in, though—more like a performance companion, the kind Lexus has been flirting with for years. But wait, there’s more. The dark horse of the trailer? A track-only monster stuck to the right side, all Michelin slicks, roll cage and fenders in need of airflow. Plexiglas windows, swing doors—this thing is made for racing, not commuting. It’s basically the 2022 GR GT3 concept, although rumors suggest it could arrive soon.
price tag? Oh, they’re going to get hurt. Six-figure prices are easy, and Lexus hangs out in the upper echelons—still nowhere near the mythical LFA’s stratosphere, thank God. Toyota’s sports product lineup has been growing recently, from GR to Century, and these new toys are about to intervene strongly.
Mark your calendars: December 5th at 11am Japan time. U.S. fans are scheduled for Thursday night; Europe wakes up Friday morning. One thing is for sure – Toyota is no longer playing safe. Fasten your seat belt.
