We’ve been hearing about the Toyota GR Super Sport for a while now, with Toyota very publicly showing its planned flagship several times over the past few years. Now, we’re getting the first proper details of the Le Mans-derived hypercar courtesy of
Autocar, including the fact it’s due to be introduced sometime next year.
Those following the development of the GR Super Sport will know that the car was first displayed at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2017 as the new Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) regulations were being drawn up for the World Endurance Championship (WEC). Then, the rules dictated that race cars would need to spawn at least 20 road-going versions, so the Super Sport was to be the descendant of what eventually became the GR010.

With just four days to go until Toyota Gazoo Racing reveals its new race car for the 2021 World Endurance Championship, the teaser campaign has begun in earnest. The title-winning team has released videos showing brief glimpses of the vehicle that will mount its defence this year.
Not much can be gleaned from the 14-second video above, which shows that the car will look like a typical sports prototype. It comes with large intakes and vents, sizeable pods for the wheels, a small cockpit, a shark fin and a huge rear wing. The livery also sports a new Racing Hybrid logo, referencing the petrol-electric powertrain on board.
