2027 Toyota GR GT Release Date, Specs & Price – The 2027 Toyota GR GT is Toyota Gazoo Racing’s upcoming flagship sports car and grand tourer. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027, making it a 2027 model-year vehicle. Toyota held the world premiere on December 5, 2025, after earlier camouflaged appearances at events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
For U.S. buyers, the car is expected to reach the market as a 2027 model, with availability likely starting in late 2026 or during 2027. Exact U.S. on-sale timing has not been finalized by Toyota as of the latest updates.
Expected U.S. Availability and Sales Channels
In the United States, the GR GT will be offered through select Lexus dealerships rather than standard Toyota stores. This approach positions the high-end halo model alongside Lexus’s luxury and performance lineup. The U.S. is expected to be one of the first markets outside Japan.
No firm allocation numbers or exact launch month for American customers have been announced. Interested buyers should watch official Toyota Gazoo Racing and Lexus channels for reservation or order details closer to production start.
Powertrain and Performance Specs
The GR GT uses a newly developed hybrid powertrain: a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with a single electric motor integrated into the rear transaxle. Combined system output targets 650 PS (approximately 641 horsepower) and 850 Nm (about 627 lb-ft) of torque.
Key technical details include:
- Front-midship engine layout with rear-wheel drive
- Newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission featuring a wet-start clutch (no traditional torque converter)
- Carbon-fiber torque tube connecting the engine to the rear transaxle
- Target curb weight of 1,750 kg (3,858 lb) or less
- Target 45:55 front-to-rear weight distribution
- Claimed top speed exceeding 320 km/h (199 mph)
The aluminum space-frame chassis (Toyota’s first all-aluminum frame) combines with carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body panels for rigidity and weight savings. Suspension is double-wishbone at both ends with forged aluminum arms. Standard equipment includes Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires developed specifically for the car.
Design, Dimensions, and Interior
Exterior design prioritizes aerodynamics. Engineers started with an ideal aerodynamic form before finalizing styling, resulting in a low-slung two-door coupe measuring roughly 4,820 mm long, 2,000 mm wide, and 1,195 mm tall, with a 2,725 mm wheelbase.
The cabin seats two, with a driver-focused layout. Recaro bucket seats, a central infotainment display, and controls optimized for both road and track use are featured. The interior emphasizes visibility, seating position, and intuitive switchgear suitable for circuit driving and daily use.
Estimated Pricing
Pricing has not been officially confirmed. Industry estimates place the starting MSRP around $300,000 in the United States, reflecting its supercar positioning above models such as the GR Supra and GR Corolla. Some reports suggest a range that could extend higher depending on options and market conditions.
Final U.S. pricing, options, and any special editions will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
Why the GR GT Matters for American Buyers?
The GR GT continues Toyota’s performance heritage that includes the 2000GT and Lexus LFA. It brings a high-output hybrid V8, lightweight construction, and race-bred engineering to a street-legal grand tourer. For U.S. enthusiasts seeking a Japanese alternative in the high-end sports-car segment, it represents Toyota’s most ambitious GR model to date.
