Maybe it was too good to last. This actually sucks. A numbers man at the helm is what caused Toyota to kill off it's passion cars in the early 2000's and it took over a decade to come back. Just maybe this is why they spun the GR brand off as it's own entity. They may enjoy a similar level of...
Probably to build a great car that serves the purpose of homologating a GT3 race car and selling them at a price to those who may appreciate it in numbers that will ensure they get enough sold to comply with said homologation.
You keep saying "worse". If "worse" to you is a set of numbers on...
I feel like not everyone defines "better" as hp/mph/0-60 per $ or whatever subjective metric we as enthusiast apply. Cars are best experienced from behind the wheel and not looking over specs in a magazine. The corvette has always objectively been a great car at a comparatively low price and...
Again, make no mistake. This car exists so Toyota can have a brawler of a GT3 car. They've been hiring for, expanding and working on their customer motorsports interest as well and that is it's own business case there. Audi left a lot of business on the table to mop up and I have no doubt that...

Unnecessary. GT3 racecars have limits on power, BoP, etc etc.
I'd say the GR GT would compete marketwise with the 911 Turbo S and the GT3... There may be a GRMN GT that competes with the GT3RS (remember the fixed wing test mule that was NOT the GT3 version?)
Anyway, as much as Toyoda says...

Side note; While this may be Tooyta's first production all aluminum chassis, I wonder how much lessons were learnt producing the original LFA's "first draft" chassis that were applied to this :hmm:

This got me at first. I was also expecting it to be a full hybrid, not just a mild hybrid. However when you look at where this is aimed in the market, it is actually on the lighter side of the spectrum. Shocking, I know (I still wish it would be lighter, but alas...).
I don't think it's really...
