I'm looking forward to the '96 Castrol livery on this
Is it official?
@@cristianocarrilloso3343custom livery in Gran Turismo perhaps
Yeah just my fantasy
Every mans dream
1:14 looks like someone had a nasty trip to the barrier with those skidmarks!
Could be the Lambo crashing there last weekend in the GT Open Qualifying
It was :)@@SnakezF1
@@SnakezF1 The prominant skidmarks in that shot are actually from the second GT Open Cup race where a Cup Porsche spun and lightly hit the barrier at the top.
@@MotorsportMeister Ahh thanks
Yeah I think someone did
Toyota really said "we're bringing Panoz back"
Have you seen a Panoz? That comment says you haven't and we're on the internet. Doesn't even remote look like that even if you were to squint real hard. Your saying a Toyota Camry looks like a Panoz because the GT3 from the front 90% Camry. And 153 people like the comment, that's wild.
@ExileXCross I bet you're fun at parties.
?? literally nothing like a panoz
Not to be that guy but I bet this thing doesn’t even make 1/3 of the sound of that old panoz
It’s a lot better than them damned sedans! Hope they won’t paint em that stupid highlighter yellow
Lol this feels more like a new Viper than a new Toyota !! And I love it !
Looks more like an Aston vantage
Lexus always had long-hood GT3 designs
Lower LC500 maybe?
I mean it's gonna replace the Lexus RC F and Lexus/Toyota is no stranger on making cars with long hoods before (2000GT, Supra, LFA, LC500, etc)
mfers be saying every new gt3 car is either a corvett or viper lmao
Hyped for both this and the road car!
Surprising video, nice upload
I can't wait to see the road version.
If they make it. Would be a shame if they don't, or if they make it €400,000.
I read a rumour this platform would lead to both a Toyota and Lexus road car.
@@warboyrb - well, Toyota needs to since GT3 regs require them to build a minimum number of road-going examples for homologation.
@@lordcoombswhat about mazda, i heard toyota shared this platform with mazda rx vision too.
@@lordcoombs I hope so.
Thanks for the video. Sounds like the new car has a V8 engine. Is there anything else known about the specs?
Thanks you ! and not really actually, I think this is the second time this car has been driven on a track and in public🙂
Twin Turbo, 6 speed sequential
@@marktucker208 where did you find information on the engine? I can’t find anything
Hope it'll arrive in time to compete with it's pairs 💯💯nice video
@@lb-motorsportvideo4413 - first one happened in Fuji Speedway back in early 2023, then Motegi later that same year.
Theres a rumor going around that this is also the chasis for the new mazda rx-9 . Toyota mazda partnership
Well we’ll never know until Best Car Magazine shows up to the news about Mazda. Even then its speculation at this point.
Thx interresting to see....Love to see them back in gt3
They have been in GT3 with the RCF in both IMSA and the WEC.
Dieser Sound mega geil von Toyota
Ich liebe den gt3 jetzt schon .
Danke Toyota.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
good lookin... good sound ! its all what we need 🤩
That engine sounds great! Similar but quieter than the Mustang GT3.
reminding me of the AMG
its most likely engine from RC-F GT3
Twin-Turbo V8
@@nickcheung7592 I’m aware
@@Hrakuun I am excited Toyota decided to use a v8 again. Another generation of V8 race engines is always a good thing.
That sounds like a Yamaha - 2UR GSE??
Prob never happen but I'd love to see a MotoGP race here. That Toyota looks and sounds excellent.
Thank you for the video...🎉
Thanks you 😁
I know this sound's Engine!
It's a TRD 2UR-G(5.4L V8 NA).
you can hear the turbos mate
@@NikoMoraKamu I think wasn't Turbo, is straight cut gears sound
@@NikoMoraKamuno you can't, there aren't any
@@juaneer the car will use the 4.0 l twin turbo v8 that toyota is developing , you can hear in other channels tha the old lexus in the same test sound different
@@gerlandyhaqi4377that's what I heard
かっこいいね
Depuis l'temps!!
La RCF date de 2016 quand méme ^^
Jamais vu une seule RCF par ici alors celle là ne rêvons pas
That intro...LOL. Gets me every time :P
Gran Turismo 7 now. My faith in the game will be restored if we get this
That's the new twin turbo LFA, probably hybrid or the new hydrogen V8 engine by Yamaha and Toyota
Not hybrid for the race car (as with the NSX).
Beside, not even hydrogen considering how expensive it is - especially for a customer team.
Toyota never really said they were going to have a hybrid for their sports cars in the GR section. They will still use combustion so its more likely they will keep the gas engine for the GR GT3 Concept.
Why can't there be a rule that they need to sell at least 10,000 of these Toyota/Lexus road cars before being eligible to run in the GT3 WEC class haha. Then they may actually make them semi attainable price wise, not some €400,000 poster car.
You're missing the point. GT3s are production race cars; they aren't road legal. It's a huge new market, which is why almost every marque suddenly offers one.
That’s how you see manufacturers leave the sport
GT3s are based on an actual road car. The GT4s are actually closer to the road car. The low production levels allow for manufacturers like McLaren, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, etc... to be able to compete. The BOP allows other manufacturers to be competitive in the sport. It is what makes the competition fun to watch.
@@pikestance8851 - in Toyota's case, they're developing both the road-going and racing versions at the same time.
@@pmayo7894 They all do. It is part of the regulations.
Wait, will this be replacing the RC-F GT3?
It's finally coming! They can put down that RCF soon 😅. I heard Toyota bought an AMG GT3 to benchmark as well.
Yup, currently there's an AMG GT3 which is used to race in Super Taikyu by Rookie Racing, Akio Toyoda's personal team / Toyota's "skunk work" team
@@AbrahamArthemius It's the most consistent and easy for customers to o extract the performance out of. Smart move there.
@@Mr.Waffullz pretty much. The AMG is the closest car that has a similar layout after all (FR & really long hood)
Well it looks similar and sounds similar.
Super GT fans: "Wow that's quiet compared to the Prius V8 or Supra V8"
Except the Prius (the last, FR iteration) and Supra's V8 is basically that of the RC F.
its probably still the 5L V8 Lexus uses
Sounds awesome. Almost like the Cadillac Lmdh
Sounds alot like the RCF at lower speeds.
When toyota makes an AMG GT better than AMG itself (new amg gt is sucks, it's just an overpowered SL)
its look ver diferent look at concept
more content for acc😁
Maybe they'll apply the same dynamic force philosophy of very undersquare cylinder, high tumble intake, etc. But I hope several components are carried on from the legendary ur engine.
Like the vantage
I HEAR A WHINING SOUNDS AFTER RPM DROPPED DOES THAT MEAN A SUPERCHARGER?
It’s the straight cut gearbox.
It’s the straight cut gearbox.
Sounds like the new Mustang and looks like the old SLS.
It's been out there before the new Mustang. The new Mustang sounds like this Lexus GR
個人的にかなり好きなフォルムと音
Dude this thing sounds aggressive almost like a mix of the AMG GT3 and the new mustang gt3 hopefully it comes into imsa competition cause i really wanna see this thing in action in American soil since im too cheap to travel across the world to see it race
Whatever it is. Sounds like a race car!
Do I hear a v8? 🥹
They used it in lemans this thing would gain on the Ford like crazy
This car looks so much better than the stupid “sedans” they’ve been running. Just keep the frickin highlighter yellow off em!
Imagine this with the LFA V10 and exhaust.. so sad we'll never see that from Lexus again. 😪
Looks a lot like a AMG GT3 w all that camo on
1:27 that Ferrari LMdh sounds so good 😍
Ferrari isn't LMDh isn't an LMH
unfortunately... sounds more V8 than V10...
Sounds like a turbocharged V8
😍👍 TOYOTA ❤️🔥🏁
NGL Toyota just made the most underrated naturally aspirated V8 GT3 racecar
It hasn’t even raced yet. How could it be underrated?
It seems to be turbocharged though (you can clearly hear the turbos spooling up at 0:21 and the blow off valves releasing the pressure a couple of seconds later) . Which is even more of an achievement given how good it sounds.
pretty sure the detuned version that people can buy will be a 4L twin-turbo V8 cuz they had been testing it for a long time and it's been a roller coaster w/ the development of this engine but we'll see what Lexus product this end up being, a RC/LC replacement or LFA replacement
This is not NA. Can hear that blow off valve.
This is a twin turbo V8. You can hear the turbos spooling and dumping into the wastegate several times.
omg，that V8？？？
Looks like a Japanese viper
0:14 1:04 1:44 2:38 3:32 4:19
sounds like AMG GT3
Will it give a Street Version of this Car
From the leaked patent couple years ago, yes! But idk which car will coming from this..
Well, Toyota obviously needs a road-going version considering that GT3 regulations requires a minimum number of them built to be able to get it homologated for racing.
I want to see what the road car is going to like. This car looks sweet!
Am I the only one that wants to see them cutting the grass like that? Lolll
good
Mercedes: So THAT'S what happened to the car that went missing after last weeks' 6 hours of Spa.
*Looks faster sitting still than moving!*
Sounds like the old v8 group C cars. Incredible deep sound, better than any flat plane V8 in my opinion
Only Ferraris, McLarens & Many Others...
The red Mclaren looks nice
Mistura de Vantage com AMG
I want one :-). But don’t we all 😅
Mercedes ang gt3 end mustang gt3🤔🤔🤔

Why so quiet 😂
Those hypercars sounds 🔥
Very AMG
Awesome 😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks !😁
Long long hood
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😮
Japanese SLS
che bidone
AMG Gt 3
The concept seems to have taken cues from chevo/dodge viper. Does the engine sound like a v8?
Well, Toyota has a similar-looking design back in the 60's (the 2000GT, which James Bond provided much of the car's popularity).
And yes, it's a twin-turbo V8.
No, they're benchmarking the AMG GT3 and trying to build a better car.
“Can we have a Mercedes-AMG GT3?”
“We have a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at home”
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 at home… ⬆️
Ca sent le V8. Je regrette qu'il y ait toutes ces aides électroniques sur les GT3 (TC, ABS). Et puis les trop nombreux dégagements en bitume à Spa désormais...
Comment dire que t'es un vieux con sans le dire directement 😂
Ms en même c grace a ces aides qu'il y en a autant. Plus de pilotes peuvent les conduire et ils peuvent juste dive bomber grace à l'abs
@@eliasmaissour437that’s not the point. GT3 cars are supposed to be for professional racing series
@@chipattack912then watch f1
Je pense que je suis plus en accord avec Elias à ce sujet. J'ai rencontré beaucoup de puristes qui pensent que l'ABS, le TC et le reste ont enlevé de quoi de la course mais je dirais (avec tout respect) que c'est le contraire. Je le compare aux souliers de course. La technologie et l'entraînement que nous avons de nos jours permet aux athlètes d'être plus performants que jamais. Mais il n'y a personne qui dit que les coureurs qui ne courent pas pieds-nus n'est pas un vrai athlète. Si t'as jamais joué à une simulation, (ce que j'imagine tu as fait) tu sais déjà qu'on peut éteindre toutes les petites gardiennes électroniques. Mais la plupart des pilotes te diraient que c'est fou avec la performance des voitures d'aujourd'hui. D'ailleurs, ils doivent savoir moduler ces contrôles pour avoir le maximum de la voiture, sous différentes conditions, pendant des courses qui durent souvent plusieurs heures. Alors, oui, je respecte la vue un peu romantique des puristes, que c'est intéressant de voir la connexion qu'un pilote peut avoir avec une voiture, mais je ne pense pas que les technologies de nos jours ont enlevé ça, au contraire, ils les ont donnés plus de façons pour s'exprimer sur la piste.
lc500?
No, is GR GT3.
@@rajakozen5678 what is the production model its based on?
@@d4vidsu - built from scratch - both the production and racing model.
@@d4vidsu a New Model.
@@d4vidsu There has been talk that the production model will be called the Lexus LFR, LFA succesor
don't take that for granted tho, it's not been officially confirmed yet
It's a turbo V8 for sure but which engine they would use tho, from the sounds of it i think they kinda use the 4.0 AMG V8, or they could be developing a new turbo V8 based on the UR lines of engine
Fun fact : the AMG GT3 does not use the same engine as it's road car counterpart, it instead use the old M159 6.2 V8 that were also used in the SLS GT3
1) Lexus will never use a German engine.
2) It's an entirely new engine. TT V8 with an electric motor. Output is estimated to be 900-950 HP
@@yousef.al-assaf that output number is the figure for the road car, coz GT3 will have restrictors and such
@@yousef.al-assaf on your first point there, we will never know exactly until they reveal their car, remember toyota are using a german engine in their supra currently
@WildShotZ14
That's correct, I am talking about the patented road legal version. The leaks that we have so far are only about the road legal "LFR".
And Toyota might be the parent company of Lexus, but they don't share the same rules. Lexus will never use an engine that's not developed/co-developed by them. Toyota might, but not Lexus.
Even in camouflage, a whole lot better looking than the current model.
There is no current model
@juaneer Yes in IMSA and WEC is the Lexus RCF GT3.
@@markzebr6463 man this isn't an RCF it's literally called the GR GT3
@@juaneer What you don't seem to comprehend id this...The RCF is a rather old GT3 model. I suspect is that this new model, the GR GT3 will replace it. No manufacturer ever, has produced two GT3 Sports cars.
@@markzebr6463 no i know the RCF is old man, I'm just saying this isn't a new model of the RCF, it's a totally different car
very cool!
V8 Hybrid?
Race car: no, just like the NSX.
For the road legal version, yes
Needs a Flat Plane Crank like the Toyota GT One
This is straight AMG GT3 but with UR engine! Can't wait for full form of this car
Idk why not a lot of manufacturers are following the AMG body style with front engine layout. I think it's reminiscent of the old GT coupe style. A lot ot modern cars, even Corvette, went for the mid-rear engine spider which manufacturers like Ferrari and Mclaren have set the trends. These modern cars look to similar. I think the Mustang GT3 and the M4 GT3 are some of the few that stand out. AMR is consistent with their unique body style imo.
@@constipatedparker5879 Because mid-engined cars have a weight distribution (and with that handling) advantage that front- and rear-engined (as in the engine on or behind the rear axle. Mid engine means the engine behind the driver but in front of the rear axle.) cars just can't replicate no matter how much special aero, suspension and springs you put on the car. My guesstimate is that GT3 is the fastest class in which a front- and rear engine can work as any class that's faster exclusively has mid-engined cars.
@@Weerknuffelbeeryou can have a front mid engine by the way.
Another AMG GT wannabe? Looks good though...
"Another AMG GT wannabe" you did not just say that seriously
This design existed long before the AMG GT...
Omg it's happening everyone stay fucking calm 😂
Still sounds better than a Pontiac Fiero ("Corvette C8")
Toyota just can't build aesthetic cars
Some unholy (morally) amalgam uf gt3's with most coming from the sls or AMG gt.
sounds like a V6
Merci pour la vidéo la Toy on dirait un v8 et puis revoir la Ferrari 😍
Meric beaucoup !😁
ＧＴ３，Ｖ８ですか～🤔スタイルからしてＶ１０積んで欲しかったねぇ～
So asuming they will sell the production version of this under the lexus brand will it be LFA successor or just RCF successor? They really need to up the exhaust noise if they want to position it as an LFA successor
Yup, the LFA's ICE successor (there will be a EV successor too). It will be called something like the "LFR".
@@yousef.al-assaf Good they aren't trying to pass a V8 off as a new LFA. This is the right choice.
So basically a reskinned AMG GT3 😂
Another v8 who is complaining
It is interesting since they bought that particular AMG GT3 to race.
Toyota copied from the best!
@@ciello___8307 Well, they had to, after all, it's the best race car ever to date. They're making it based on that one. It's why they bought it to race and also to research.
It's not like Mercedes-AMG GT is the only one with the mid-front engine car. S2000 and Corvette are good examples.
So the AMGT GT3 is a reskinned Viper GT3? Piss off...
マツダのアレをトヨタが引き継いだ…w
I calls it when I sees it, that's a re-skined merc.
音も後ろもベンツだなぁ
Looks heavy. Looks like they’re copying Mercedes (a mix between the AMG GT, SLR and SLS), disappointing.
Why can’t Lexus get it right? ISF… flop. LFA… mega flop (still a great car but still a flop). RCF… 🤣 do I even need to say. They need to get someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
I can already see the production specs… weighs more than the outgoing RCF… slower than the M4… more expensive than a base 911.
You sound like a pissed off hater knowing deep down this car will break records.
The LFA GT3 won most of its races. The RC F is dominating GT3 now. How is Lexus messing up?
And this car is anything but an AMG; not the chassis and not the engine.
Having a long-hood design has been out there for ages now.
BMW can only wish of producing such a car.
@@yousef.al-assaf not a hater. I just really think Lexus could do so much better. And this car is basically a reskinned AMG GT, Toyoda bought a AMG GT race team and used what they learned to develop this car.
This will be Lexus’ equivalent to the SLS. We can only hope Lexus/Toyota uses this platform just like how Mercedes did with the SLS. Mercedes used the SLS platform for the AMG GT and Aston Martin Vantage. Toyota/Lexus should also use this platform to make a RC/LC replacement, also make a in-house Supra and Celica.
@godzilla8568
They didn't copy the AMG GT, they developed their own long-hood mid-engine GT3 and used the AMG GT to bench it. Why? The AMG GT is simply the best at it right now. They got it to compare numbers and tweak the "LFR" till it outperforms the AMG GT. Lexus had the LFA when the SLS was out there, nobody copied from the other. The Viper was the king of long-hood GT3 before that. Toyota also had its fair share of long-hood race cars in the 80s and 70s. AMG GT is simply the benchmark. Aston Martin also use it to benchmark the Vintage.
@godzilla8568
A road-legal version is definitely coming. Leaks says it will be hybrid and have 900-950 HP. A detuned version of its engine will be used possibly for the upcoming IS F. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I am expecting a lot in the next 3 years from Lexus, as things are looking good for them.
@@yousef.al-assaf they did copy the AMG GT, just like how Toyota copied multiple manufacturers to build the 2000GT it’s not a bad thing, just frowned upon.
Lexus sure but Toyota? They had no GT3 and i dont think Toyota would do V8 engine in the GT3. V6 Turbo or Twinturbo is what i expected.
The Car sounds a bit like AMG V8 GT3 the front looks like Aston Martin GT3 and the shape from the side looks like Corvette C7.
well Lexus is owned by Toyota, the car will most likely be using a lexus badge, but similiar to the RC F GT3 before, it is developed by Toyota's racing department
@Robintalesfighter
GR and TRD are two separate divisions. Lexus Racing only takes the top engineers from both of these teams.
