The GR GT3 concept appears to have a lot of "options" baked into the chassis/platform design. I could see Toyota using:
--An inline-six (possibly a very worked over variant of Mazda's new I6 architecture)
--Possibly even some even further evolved version of the BMW B58 series (VERY unlikely...
*At current time, yes. Over the very long term that will cease to be the case. We're just not there yet at this moment in time, just the same as with the current limited state of the U.S.'s nationwide electric car charging infrastructure.... which will also not be so limited over the long haul...
Yeah, I'm still interested to hear any news about the GR Yaris, any trim level changes and updates and whatever info on them being campaigned in racing is out there. Sure, I can't buy one in the States but that doesn't take away from it being an awesome genuine street legal rally car that still...
As in Luca Marmorini who was once in charge of Toyota's F1 engine designs and who worked with Ferrari's electronics and engine designs for F1 throughout the 1990's? o_O
This is just me wondering out loud... and I assume Nissan probably would not do this... but what are the chances Nissan would swap the VR30 for the GTR's base spec VR38DETT, bolt it up to the Z's auto and manual transmissions and do little more than rearrange some intercooler piping and write a...
^^ Worst case this would also be my deduction if no direct production model is developed. I think if Toyota does decide to develop the GR GT3 into a street production car it will see global sales. But if they decide not to then... well... as you have said it will most likely see use in some kind...

Thank you for clarifying, PerformanceSound. I'm not sure how I got my reading mixed on this but now I understand why the GT3 Concept is still a question mark as to what it actually will represent.
Still... NA is a very large market for Toyota and Lexus halo cars so I have hope that it its...

Hang on... it was my understanding previous to your post that the GR GT3 Concept *was* the prototype platform that would be shared between the next generation Supra and an upcoming FAR more expensive Lexus supercar.
That is not the case? The GR GT3 prototype/platform represents something else...

I'd also love to know more about how this is going for them. I've seen the recent proof of concept R&D car in a crossover chassis. While it is fake it is still far more interesting than a soulless 1-speed silent experience.
I'm more interested in Dodge's electro-mechanical "shiftable" EV...

It's an interesting take on this. Considering that North America is one of the biggest markets for the Supra and GR Corolla. And considering that the emissions standards here allow for the B58D 382hp engine in the MKV while most of Europe appears to be limited to the B58C 335hp engine due to...
There is no way that this platform won't be used in one or more models marketed in North America. In the 1980's-2000's Japanese manufacturers did that, yes but in today's market it wouldn't make so much sense for a low volume sportscar.
Begrudgingly it made sense to them for the GR Yaris but...
This looks great! Worlds better than the ugly crossover version that the U.S. gets.
Maybe the GR trim sedan version will be an exception and make it over here? I can hope.
