Toyota GR GT

The GR GT is Toyota’s first vehicle with an all-aluminium body frame. It uses nine large aluminium castings connected to aluminium tubes and extrusions, creating a structure designed to be light, strong and rigid.

The chassis was shown alongside the GR GT3 racing car at the 2026 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, giving spectators a rare look at the cars’ underlying structure.

Toyota’s GR GT chassis uses large aluminium castings in important parts of the structure. These are joined to aluminium tubes and extrusions rather than being made as one single piece.

That approach helps Toyota place material where it is most useful. The result is a chassis designed to offer low weight without sacrificing rigidity, two qualities that matter greatly on a racetrack.

The GR GT is also the first Toyota vehicle to be marketed solely under the Gazoo Racing brand. There are no Toyota emblems on the car, reinforcing its role as a dedicated performance model.

The GR GT is expected to combine its aluminium structure with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and a hybrid system.

Toyota’s development target is at least 650 PS and 850 Nm of system output. That works out to about 641 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, although the final figures have not been confirmed.

The GR GT3 racing car uses the same broad focus on low weight, high rigidity and aerodynamic performance. It is being developed as a dedicated competition machine rather than simply a modified road car.

Toyota has not yet confirmed how many GR GT cars will be allocated to North America. Current discussions point to between 200 and 250 cars.
