Despite the impending approach of the death of internal combustion — or perhaps because of it — classic car prices seem to be only heading upwards right now. Case in point, this 35-year old hatchback which just sold at auction for a record price of £46,000 ($63,785).

An announcement from Toyota Gazoo Racing has confirmed that the new Toyota GR86 will be made available in Gran Turismo Sport on July 8, ahead of the car’s debut in the 2021 Toyota GR GT Cup.

After a little tease yesterday during the 2021 FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship announcement, Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing have confirmed a third season of the online Toyota GR championship — but there’s a couple of changes.

An announcement from both Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed that the new Toyota GR86 will be coming to Gran Turismo Sport later this year.

Toyota has taken the covers off its replacement for the nine-year old 86, which sports a familiar name with one important difference. The car is now called the GR 86, making it the fourth car revealed in the Gazoo Racing line of performance models following the GR Supra, GR Yaris, and flagship GR Super Sport.

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.

The official FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Online Championships World Final is nearly upon us. There’s only one item of business to get out of the way first: the Toyota GR Supra GT Cup.

This past weekend’s 24 Hour of Le Mans was the end of an era. After a history stretching back more than 25 years, the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) effectively bowed out as the event’s top category.

Toyota is bringing the World Rally Championship back to the public roads later this year, with a new model of its Yaris hatchback. The GR Yaris, revealed today at Tokyo Auto Salon, is a 257hp, all-wheel drive homologation special that will form the basis of the brand’s WRC challenger for next season.

2018 GT Sport Nations Cup champion Igor Fraga is continuing his real-world motorsports development. To start the 2020 season, he’s heading down to New Zealand to race in the Toyota Racing Series.

Right at the end of the Forza Monthly stream, presenter and principal game designer Mike Brown dropped a bombshell: Toyota is back.

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.
