TOYOTA GAZOO Racing aims to develop its cars and people toward the
goal of "making ever-better cars" through participation in
motorsports activities, such as top category races including the
World Rally Championship (WRC) and World Endurance Championship
(WEC), as well as national rallies and races. The technologies and
know-how acquired through such activities are subsequently fed back
into the development of new production vehicles. As part of this
integrated development process from motorsports activities through
product development, Toyota launched the new "GR" sports car series
in September.
The theme selected by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for Tokyo Auto Salon 2018
is "Meister's Workshop" and will feature cars that have competed in
various motorsports activities, as well as cars that have been
developed as a result of these competitions. The aim is also to
promote the enjoyment of vehicle customization and communicate how
cars will continue to exude an increasingly exciting presence in
the future.
In addition to vehicles competing in motorsports such as the Yaris
WRC and TS050 Hybrid, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will also be exhibiting
the GR Super Sport Concept, a concept car originate from
participation in the WEC, as one example of how technological
feedback acquired through motorsports activities is incorporated.
The exhibited vehicles will also include production vehicles such
as the 86 GR and the Vitz GRMN, a 150-unit limited edition model
for Japan.
The vehicles scheduled to compete in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in
May will also be revealed, while the drivers for the race will be
announced on January 12.
