The GT seems a little heavy for the power output.

Any predictions on price for the street version GT, $200K…$300K?

The exhaust looks beautifully integrated

Car & Driver: "The GR GT is the first halo car from Toyota's new GR brand. It's a high-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive supercar that could cost around $500,000 when it goes on sale..."

I fully expected to love this. I also expected it to cost 3 Supras, but I decided I was willing to pay that. And then:

Isn't this actually really ugly?

Not ugly at all to my eyes. I quite like the final look of the GT and GT3. I love the super long hood that is rather flat. The rear view looks great too. But I'm a fan of Japanese performance models that take a more conservative and brutish approach to their styling.

The Lexus LFA2 I'm much less won over by. It definitely isn't boring but it doesn't have the same appeal as the all business GR GT/GT3. And specifically in that one I really, really despise the steering yoke. I'm interested to learn about the powertrain for it (solid state battery equipped I'd assume) but the steering yoke... a hard no thanks on that.

Wish we'd gotten some hard numbers at this time but we already have some speculation as to power figures.

We got numbers. They're not great:

Vehicle weight: 1,750 kg or lower
Maximum system output: 650 PS or greater
Maximum system torque: 850 Nm or greater

I think it looks kind of cool, not the prettiest car though.

But I’ll hold off judgement until I see it in real life. I thought the MkV Supra wasn’t that great looking when it first came out, but then I saw it IRL and thought it looked really good.

Not that it matters bc it’ll be out of my price range

To be fair, they do note production numbers may be different. I’m concerned this car will be similar to the last gen NSX that didn’t sell well, too heavy, too expensive and underpowered. Granted this is about the same weight with a bit more power.

I love the look. It comes off as a softer, cyberpunk neo-brutalist design. The engine is also beautiful and I hope they don't trying to place an ugly engine cover on it.

I am definitely interested in buying one if it is priced similar to its competitors

I don't know where Car and Driver is pulling the ridiculous $500K price tag from when this is meant to compete with other vehicles in the $180K-$220K price range with similar power, components, and materials. I expect the production version of the LFA BEV concept to be priced around that much, but not the GR GT.

Looks similar to every other car it's trying to compete against.

I would also add ugly too the list. IMO, Honda and Toyota failed miserably in the styling department. Both companies had a good starting point with the 2003 Honda HSC Concept and the 2021 Toyota GR GT3 Concept, but sadly they both went the fugly route.

At least the interior looks good.
