Toyota GR GT supercar teased with 2000GT and Lexus LFA in Japanese commercial ahead of December 5 debut – paultan.org

At this year’s Japan Mobility Show (JMS), Toyota announced it would unveil its new GR-branded supercar on December 5, 2025, with a public debut at next year’s Tokyo Auto Salon. The brand’s upcoming flagship, which will be called the GR GT, has now been teased in a commercial that recently aired in Japan.

In the video we are first introduced to the 2000GT and its inline-six engine before it is overtaken by a Lexus LFA, the latter with its howling V10. Next comes the GR GT without any camouflage and the words “The Soul Lives On,” followed by a reminder of the December 5 debut date and a rear photo of the supercar.

The GR GT was previewed by the GT Concept, with a camouflaged prototype taking part in this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​in July. During the event, the motorsport-oriented GT Racing Concept – previewed by the GR GT3 Concept – also took part in the famous hill climb.

Spicing up the video’s screenshots, we can make out some details of the GR GT, such as the vented hood and high-mounted side intakes that nod to the LFA. The aggressive LED headlights with integrated L-shaped daytime running lights are reminiscent of the GR86, while other features include a sleek grille, large front air intakes and a long, sculpted hood.

In terms of visibility from the rear, the full-width taillights are accompanied by large exhausts, wide shoulders and an integrated ducktail spoiler. The exhaust pipes are not visible, although it is reported that they will be integrated into the diffuser (the racing version will get side exhaust tips instead).

We don’t get a shot of the interior in the commercial, but the official livestream of the Goodwood event showed a large infotainment display above a row of physical controls. The prototype’s cabin is a mix of red leather and Alcantara, with the hide material used to pad the carbon fiber bucket seats.

In terms of powertrain, the GR GT will get a new twin-turbo V8 that is expected to benefit from hybrid assistance. This system is also expected to be retuned for use in the production version of the Lexus Sport Concept, which made its debut at The Quail, a Motorsport Gathering event held in August. The system also appeared on JMS.
