Even so, the R&D costs must\u2019ve been through the roof, requiring a massive investment from a company that typically plays it safe with its product planning. After all, the last Supra was joined at the hip with the BMW Z4, while the GR86 is a collaborative effort with Subaru. As with every respectable supercar, production numbers for the GR GT are bound to be low. How low? Japan\u2019s Magazine X<\/a> (via Car Sensor<\/a>) reports that only around 500 units will be made, making the GR GT as rare as the LFA.<\/p>\n Only Toyota knows whether the small production run will be enough to recover the investment. Since we mentioned the LFA, let’s not forget that\u00a0Lexus<\/a>\u00a0seriously struggled to sell the V10 machine,\u00a0of which it also built 500 examples. Hopefully, for its parent company\u2019s sake, the new mid-engine beast will do better, but that will greatly depend on pricing.<\/p>\n Photo by: Toyota<\/p>\n It’s Likely To Cost Over $200,000<\/p>\n When Lexus\u2019 only supercar launched in the United States back in 2010, it had a starting price of $375,000, plus $70,000 for the optional N\u00fcrburgring Package. Toyota has yet to release pricing details for the GR GT, but it\u2019s been hinting that it\u2019ll be a $200,000+ car. We don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be as expensive as the LFA, which, by the way, is returning this decade for a second generation as a fully electric supercar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Circling back to the Magazine X report, the GR GT is unlikely to be a single model. The outlet mentions a \u201ctuned version\u201d is on the way, which makes us think it has something to do with a more aggressive prototype<\/a> recently spotted testing at the Nordschleife. Whether it\u2019s some Track Package or a full-blown GRMN, that\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n GR GT Targa Could Happen<\/p>\n That\u2019s not all. Toyota<\/a> is allegedly planning a third GR GT road-going flavor with a targa setup that might bring back the Aero Top name. It\u2019s unclear whether it would have a manually removable roof panel or one that electrically retracts. Given the coupe\u2019s design, there doesn\u2019t seem to be enough room to accommodate a roof-folding mechanism, unless Toyota plans to rework the rear end heavily. However, that would add even more cost.<\/p>\n We\u2019d wager a targa would have a panel that detaches from the body, keeping the rear intact, just like in the old days of the Supra Aero Top. Presumably, there would be a dedicated area to store the roof in case of sudden rain. Coming in 2027, Audi\u2019s new electric sports car, previewed by the promising Concept C, will also have a targa setup<\/a>, but with a roof that fully retracts into the rear, a first for the company.<\/p>\n We\u2019re in for a long wait since the standard GR GT won\u2019t be launched until \u201caround 2027,\u201d according to Toyota. Spicier derivatives could arrive later in the life cycle and likely command a surcharge over the standard coupe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 32 <\/p>\n \n Source: Toyota <\/p>\n Motor1’s Take:\u00a0While a $200,000+ Toyota seems like a tough sell, the GR GT is not your ordinary Camry<\/a> or RAV4. With a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, an exotic shape, and a direct motorsport connection, it has all the ingredients to become a hit among deep-pocketed enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Adding a hardcore version and an open-top model would further increase its chances of success, but the GRMN and Aero Top are not official until Toyota says so. Either way, the regular coupe can\u2019t come soon enough, especially since we were promised a full-blown hypercar with the GR Super Sport concept<\/a> a few years ago, but that sadly never came to fruition.<\/p>\n \n Source:<\/p>\n Magazine X via Car Sensor <\/p>\n \n \t\tWe want your opinion!\n\t<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motor1.com?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/16x9-tr.png\")
