Toyota has yet to share any details on what exactly the 2022 GR GT3 Concept will become, but development on the company’s upcoming racer continues. Footage from a wet test at Fuji last weekend shows that development continues, leaving it on track to debut in the near future.

The clip of the car in motion is just a short 15 seconds and only shows one corner, but we can see that the GR GT3 retains the long hood and dramatic lines that were so striking in the original concept. Like all modern GT3 racers, the car has a massive rear wing and other important aerodynamic elements to produce significant downforce. However, the body kit is a bit less extreme than that of the existing RC F GT3 the company is running through its Lexus brand right now. While no engine has been announced, the Flyover sounds similar to the RC F GT3, powered by a 5.4-liter V-8 based on the 5.0-liter engine used in the RC F road car.
Toyota has yet to announce a road car for the GR GT3 concept to actually represent, but class rules dictate that it should be based on a road car in some form. As indicated by a Lexus executive Road and Track last year, this car could carry a Lexus badge in North America and serve as the flagship for that brand’s performance aspirations.
No timetable has been given for either the GR GT3’s racing debut or the announcement of the road car it would represent.
