The Japanese marque's pair of GR010 Hybrids, which swept the front row in Hyperpole qualifying earlier, were untouchable in Thursday evening's two-hour night session, the final on-track running before Saturday morning warm-up.
Jose Maria Lopez set the pace aboard the #7 Toyota with a best lap of 3m28.322s, 0.362s faster than Sebastien Buemi in the sister #8 machine.
Best of the rest was the #708 Glickenhaus 007 LMH in which Pipo Derani set a late improvement of 3m30.141s to get within two seconds of Lopez's benchmark.
Richard Westbrook posted a 3m30.822s, exactly 2.5s off the pace, to go fourth in the sister #709 Glickenhaus, just ahead of the Alpine A480-Gibson grandfathered LMP1 car driven by Andre Negrao.
United Autosports led the way in the LMP2 class courtesy of a 3m32.226s effort from Alex Lynn in the #23 Oreca 07-Gibson.
Second in class was Job van Uitert for Panis Racing, ahead of Jonathan Aberdein in the best of the JOTA entries, the #28 car.
The order in the GTE Pro class virtually mirrored that of Hyperpole, as the two Corvette C8.Rs locked out the top two spots in class, albeit with the #63 car of Nicky Catsburg besting the pole-winning #64 machine of Tommy Milner.
Porsche's pair of works 911 RSR-19s were next, Gianmaria Bruni delivering the German marque's best laptime in the #91 car, followed by the two factory Ferrari 488 GTE Evos.
Harry Tincknell was the pacesetter in the GTE Am class with a best effort of 3m55.067s at the wheel of the #77 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche.
The two-hour night session ran largely without incident, although Graff driver David Droux did suffer an off on his out lap at Mulsanne corner on the car's first lap since Sebastien Page's incident in third practice.
Late in the session, the GTE Am pole-winning AF Corse Ferrari also ground to a halt on the start/finish straight.
TDS Racing's Oreca did not appear in the session following Philippe Cimadomo's crash at Corvette Curve in FP3.
The next on-track action at Le Mans is the warm-up session on Saturday morning at 10.30am local time, ahead of the start of the race at 4pm.
