Toyota previewed a prototype of its six-figure GR hybrid supercar to Lexus dealers at a secret garage in Frisco, Texas, ahead of the model’s public reveal.
The GR uses a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a single electric motor for a combined 641 horsepower and is positioned as Toyota’s fastest road car since the LFA, intended to compete with Porsche 911 GT3, Mustang GTD and Corvette ZR1X rivals.
Automotive News reported the prototype was quietly sent to a large Frisco facility (allegedly the old Dude Perfect building) for dealer previews, where Lexus dealers were shown the car.
The United States is described as a key market for the GR brand, and Toyota dealers will need to invest and dedicate showroom space to sell GR models.
