Toyota and Subaru's GR GT3 and STI E-RA prove there's life in Japanese motorsport yet 🇯🇵
. More than a mere souped-up Supra, it's a bespoke racing car, one that Toyota says represents its 'driver-first' approach to car development. The aim of this GT3 is simple, it seems, not least because thus far only a couple of paragraphs have been written about it: Toyota wants to do more motorsport, GT3 appeals, and maybe this is the kind of car it wants to offer customer teams.
But we're getting a tad ahead of ourselves. For now, Gazoo Racing is typically vague, talking of making a production car from the racer rather than turning the showroom model into something fit for motorsport."TGR intends to use feedback and technologies refined through participation in various motorsport activities to develop both GT3 and mass-production cars" is as much as you're going to get for now. But you can't race a GT3 car without making a production version...
Furthermore, that Electric Record Attempt name isn't just for show. Subaru's aim for this car is to lap the Nordschleife in 400 seconds, or 6:40, which would put it among some of the very fastest combustion-engined cars. The record attempt is due in 2023, with testing at Japanese circuits taking place this year. Which is all well and good, but you have to wonder what might happen in the EV world in the meantime - a lot of progress can be made in 12 months.
Still, it's a genuinely exciting motor show concept from Subaru, and it feels a while since we've had one of those. And we can surely expect plenty more from the Toyota GT3 concept, too - how could they not advance a project that looks this cool?
