Yahoo Autos Toyota GR GT3 Concept shows up in European patent drawings
At the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, one of the Toyotas we feasted on was the Gazoo Racing GT3 Concept. Born of the Japanese automaker's belief that it can provide more enthusiast enjoyment by commercializing race cars than by making customer cars racy, the quotes and suggestions at the time were that the GT3 Concept would result in race car that would become a road car. Toyota said it would have prototypes on the road by the end of the year. The month after the Salon, TRD President David Wilson said the next Lexus IS would be a race car first, then a road car. Whatever is going to happen appears to have taken another big step in Europe, Carscoops catching a Toyota filing lodged with the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). That bureau posted images of a version of the GT3 Concept featuring everything one expects save the concept's impressive rear wing, which has been replaced by a small spoiler under the rear window.
