VOLUME UP! 🔊

The thunderous roar of the twin-turbo V8 took center stage as Super GT champion Hiroaki Ishiura piloted the GR GT3 through its first public driving demonstration at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon.

As a lead developer of the project, Ishiura’s onboard footage provided an intimate look at the car’s precision handling and its driver-centric cockpit designed for the world’s most grueling endurance races.

The showcase was a masterclass in “driver-first” engineering, with Ishiura expertly navigating the tight demo track to prove the prototype is far more than just a static concept.

By putting a veteran champion behind the wheel, Toyota successfully bridged the gap between professional racing expertise and the future of their road-going supercar lineup.

Do you think Ishiura’s technical feedback during this live run will give Toyota the edge they need to conquer Le Mans in 2027?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
