In-game description[]
"First seen at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, this race Supra represented a preview of the production model."
The GR Supra Racing Concept, revealed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, is a concept model of the Supra, a sportscar that was manufactured by Toyota up until 2002. In this concept, the model was brought back for the first time in 16 years as a race car.
The car was developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, the division of Toyota that handles their motorsports activities and the 'GR' (Gazoo Racing) sports car series.
This concept with its traditional long nose/short deck form is a front engine, rear wheel drive 2 door coupe. The compact body utilises light weight, high strength carbon composite materials used in front line racing. The large blister fenders and rear wing, as well as the rear diffuser were developed to provide superior aerodynamic and driving performance.
The suspension, wheels, tyres, and brakes utilise pure race spec hardware. The interior contains a dashboard with a rear view monitor, racing seats, steering wheel with paddle shifters, and the column, pedals, roll cage, etc. are also all racing spec.
The Supra was loved by fans all over the world for a quarter of a century as 'The Sports of Toyota', and left a solid footprint in motorsports. Even today, many fans still eagerly await the Supra's return as a roadcar.
Dealership (GT7)[]
The GR Supra Racing Concept appeared on the motorsports scene before the new GR Supra hit the production line. This created quite the stir for Japanese-car enthusiasts everywhere. The development concept for this car was to create a contender for the Le Mans LM-GTE class. Mission accompalished because this Supra made for ideal endurance racer right out of the gate.
Café (GT7)[]
Jeremy[]
The GR Supra Racing Concept was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2018. When I saw it, I immediately thought to myself, 'The Supra is back at the track!' Truly, Toyota is an incredible company! Prior to the GR Supra's release in 2019... They had developed models built to LMGTE and FIA GT-4 specifications. Its debut race on Japanese soil was the first round of the 2020 Super GT, at Fuji Speedway. And of the six Supras that apparently competed, five swept the top finishing positions!

Trivia[]
- The car is stated to be built to LM GTE regulations; this is supported by position lights on the side of the car.
- This was the Manufacturers' Cup-winning car of the 2019 season of the FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championships. It won again in the 2021 season, making it the most successful car to compete in the Manufacturers' Cup.
- This is also the most successful Manufacturers' Cup winning car during the GT Sport era.
- Judging by the sound (and the fact that the GR Supra was still in development phase during the car's release), a turbocharged inline-6 engine is implied to power this car, just like its finalized versions later on.
- The front Toyota badge in the car is actually a permanent, non-removable decal; no decal can be placed above it.
- A separate instance (internally) of the car used in the Olympic Virtual Series qualifiers and grand finals features a different steering wheel without Gazoo Racing logos on the steering wheel and Brembo logos on the brake calipers, pursuant to IOC's third-party/commercial branding policy. This version of the car is not available outside of the related modes, similar to the GT Academy versions of certain Nissan cars in the PlayStation 3-era games.
- The alternate livery in GT7 is based on the stripe patterns used in the Le Mans-winning GR010 Hybrid.
- For an exhibition race involving major Japanese car manufacturers held as part of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, Daihatsu used this car equipped with a D-Sport livery, as Daihatsu is the only manufacturer without a Gr.3 car as of the race (October 28, 2023). This is fitting due to Daihatsu being owned by Toyota.
