Toyota GR GT3 concept at the 2022 Tokyo Motor Show.

Toyota plans to unveil the GR GT3 Concept at the upcoming 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon.

The GR GT3 appears to feature a long hood and a sleek body that eliminates the overstyled rear fenders seen on the Supra. Also, although difficult to determine, the GR GT3 appears to feature a wraparound taillight design that extends almost to the rear wheel arches.

The GR GT3 was developed by Toyota's Gazoo Racing motorsports division and is considered a race-only car. However, the concept could result in a GT3-spec customer race car.

Toyota already offers a Supra GT4 customer race car, as well as a Supra-based race car designed for the Japanese SUPER GT touring car series.

In a statement released at the same time as the teaser, Toyota said that the technology and knowledge gained through its motorsports activities is being used to create a new road car.

Toyota is known to be developing at least two new sports cars, both electric, one a small sports car with styling similar to the modern MR2. The other will be a supercar at the top of the Lexus brand. Toyota is also close to launching the GR Corollo hot hatch, including in the U.S.

The Tokyo Auto Salon will take place from January 14-16. Toyota will also use the tuner extravaganza to unveil a revamped GR Yaris.
