Fans of motorsport would immediately recognize the silhouette of this remarkable supercar. The GR Super Sport shares some elements with Toyota’s TS050 HYBRID race car. To be specific, this is the platform that won the 2018, 2019, and now 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. With an impressive like that, there is doubt that racing enthusiasts will want to have one. So, what does this street-legal version bring to the table you ask?
According to sources, the production model will be equipped with a 2.4-liter twin-turbo V6 engine.

Meanwhile, it even retains the aerodynamic silhouette of the TS050 HYBRID, which many will appreciate.
Furthermore, the camouflage livery is a nice touch to invoke its podium-winning track performance. The bubble-style cockpit of the convertible along with its showstopping presentation will resonate with collectors. The GR Super Sport will likely see a highly exclusive release in the near future.
