The Toyota GR (Gazoo Racing) Supra Concept shown at Geneva is a stripped down racing model that will make it digital debut in Gran Turismo Sport next month and may someday compete in motorsports series. Gazoo Racing, for those unfamiliar, is Toyota’s motorsport division responsible with the Japanese automaker’s recent exploits in Le Mans and World Rally Championship (WRC).Here’s what we know of the Supra Concept: it is 180 inches long, 80.6 inches wide, 48.4 inches tall and has a wheelbase of 97.2 inches.
The rear-drive racer uses composite materials for the bumpers, hood, front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts, door mirrors and the rear wing. BBS wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires and house Brembo brakes. Inside, a roll cage, single racing bucket seat, and quick-release steering wheel are the only “conveniences.” What we don’t know is what will power the production car, how much it will weigh, how much it will cost, and (frustratingly) when we’ll see it. The road-going model will be built in conjunction with BMW’s next generation Z4 sports car, so any news about that car is news about the Supra.
