Pretty nice looking. Too bad its not likely to see production beyond being a GT3 race car.

I am noticing that theres alot of the Lexus EV design language in it though (assuming that is the future lexus design language)....The front grille kind of mimics the EV generation "spindle grille" shape the future lexus cars are gonna have. The rear looks like a BMW Z8 with LFA underlight cooling vents.

Makes you think it might be related to that Lexus EV sports car they had.

Oh... This being a Mazda underneath is very interesting. Perhaps we could see a version of Mazda's upcoming I-6 paired with a hybrid system. Although it would likely cost north of 100K if homologated for the road. I wouldn't expect a rotary for the road, but who knows.

GT3 cars need to be based on road cars.

So according to one YTer who speaks Japanese, Akio Toyoda was saying in a press conference the GR GT3 is all new and not shared with any other car… but this has to be a shared platform with the potential RX, right? The dimensions and profile are simply too close for them not to be related somehow.

Edit - also, what is with people saying this is a potential new Supra or Celica? It seems obvious to me this is far above those, if anything the road going version is most likely to be called the ‘Toyota GR GT (or GT3)’ in honour of the original 2000GT.

Maybe it's all new and not shared with any production car?

That's probably what he means, rather than it not being shared with other concepts.
