Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese car company that has appeared in the series except for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, where their luxury marque Lexus was instead featured.
It is famous for building affordable family cars, such as the Corolla, which is the world's best-selling vehicle nameplate, with over 40 million cars sold worldwide. In the past, it is also famous for creating three sports cars: the MR2 (a compact sports car with a mid-engine layout), the Celica (a compact liftback sports car, famous for winning rallies), and the Supra (a grand tourer, with production being revived in 2019). Today, Toyota puts emphasis on eco-friendly and hybrid cars, which dates back to 1997 when Toyota introduced the Prius, the world's first mass-produced hybrid car.
Along with Mazda, Toyota is a Gran Turismo World Series sponsor, granting them guaranteed entry in the Manufacturer's Cup. Through their Gazoo Racing division, Toyota also organized the Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup esports series from 2019 to 2024.

Despite not appearing playable in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, a Toyota Mark II trackside prop appears there (noticeably atHigh Speed Ring), and would also later appear in GT5 and GT6 with a gray color variant.
From late 2017 to late 2019, Toyota disallowed a majority of non-Japanese game developers from including Toyota production cars. Polyphony Digital, being a Japanese game developer, was not restricted by this decision, and so their games still included Toyota vehicles. This also affected vehicles from the Lexus and Scion marques as they also were not included in the non-Japanese made games during this period.
This restriction ended when Forza Horizon 4 marked their official return to the series after Horizon 3 since late 2019 (although the brand did appear in said game prior to that through other licenses) with the Toyota SUPRA RZ '97.
The Subaru BRZ S '15 (if included) was the only exception as it is the rebadged version of the Toyota 86 with differences in the suspension setup.
In the FIA Gran Turismo Championship/Gran Turismo World Series, Toyota is the first repeat winner of the Manufacturers Series/Cup, when it did so in 2019 and 2021.
