Toyota’s long-awaited supercar finally broke cover last December, but the mid-engine V8 machine won’t launch until sometime next year. In the meantime, a new spy video reveals prototypes are back at the Nürburgring for further testing to iron out any last-minute kinks. It’s not just the regular GR GT racking up miles at the Green Hell, either, as the car paparazzi at Nürburg Automotive have also spotted a meaner-looking version.
At first glance, it might seem Toyota brought out the track-only GR GT3, but that’s clearly not the case. The camouflaged prototype carries a license plate, which is all the proof we need that this is a street-legal version. That said, it does appear to borrow a few bits and pieces from the race car. A new aerodynamic package includes a front splitter that protrudes farther than on the regular model. At the rear, the swan-neck wing is a dead giveaway that this isn’t the standard version.
