Toyota GR GT | All The Engineering Details We Know

Описание: Join us as we tear down the blueprint of Toyota’s 2026 masterpiece, the GR GT, a vehicle that marks the return of a true V8 flagship to the Gazoo Racing lineup. Developed with a "reverse-design" philosophy, Toyota engineers prioritized track-ready aerodynamics first, letting the wind tunnel dictate the car's aggressive silhouette before a single aesthetic line was drawn. Under the carbon-fiber hood lies an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 featuring a "Hot V" configuration—where the turbos are nestled between the cylinder banks for instantaneous throttle response—paired with a transaxle-integrated hybrid system. This high-tech heart is mid-front mounted, pushed deep behind the front axle to achieve a near-perfect 45:55 weight distribution, while delivering a target output of 650 PS (641 hp) and over 850 Nm of torque.

The engineering brilliance of the GR GT extends to its bones, featuring Toyota's first-ever all-aluminum space frame reinforced with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) to keep the curb weight under 1,750 kg. To maximize high-speed stability, the car utilizes a rear-mounted transaxle with a newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission that swaps a traditional torque converter for a racing-style wet-start clutch. Every mechanical choice, from the dry-sump lubrication system that allows the engine to sit lower in the chassis to the carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes and double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, is designed to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. By blending the raw aggression of the GT3 race car with a driver-centric, analog-focused cockpit, Toyota has engineered a "road-legal race car" that stands as a definitive successor to the legendary Lexus LFA.
