Toyota has taken the covers off its replacement for the nine-year old 86, which sports a familiar name with one important difference.

Toyota Gazoo Racing has issued a questionnaire to prospective customers for the new GR Super Sport, digging into their interests, intent and history of sports car ownership. The brief survey, originally revealed on Reddit, appears very much like a set of questions that will determine who’ll be allowed to buy one of the $1m+ hypercars when they hit the showrooms.

Toyota has become the first brand to reveal its Le Mans Hypercar in full. Sticking with Toyota’s naming scheme for its World Endurance Championship vehicles, but shaking things up a little to reflect the fresh start for the category, the car is called the GR010 Hybrid.

According to Toyota Gazoo Racing, Gran Turismo Sport players have picked up more than 300,000 units of the new Toyota GR Yaris since it came to the game just over a month ago.

While much of the buzz in the alternative fuel world is about battery-powered electric vehicles, some brands are continuing to develop other… alternative alternatives.

UPDATE (08.21.19): Toyota UK has released a series of tweets in regards to the (now-deleted) original “illegal street racing” comment:

Depending on where you stand, that title will elicit either a nod of approval or a beeline to the comment section to tell me how wrong I am. That’s the magic of the reborn, fifth-generation Supra: there is no middle ground for it in the court of public opinion.

The first live event of the Toyota-sponsored GR Supra GT Cup is about to go live.

Toyota’s kicking off the launch of the new A90-generation GR Supra with the only thing that makes sense: even more Supra.

Following a design study model earlier in the year, Toyota’s in-house tuning arm TRD has now released a styling package for the GR Supra.

Given the time and money Toyota has spent on developing the new GR Supra, you’d have to be nuts to challenge it to a race. Specifically, you’d have to be peanuts.
