Could be the Lambo crashing there last weekend in the GT Open Qualifying

It was :)@@SnakezF1

@@SnakezF1 The prominant skidmarks in that shot are actually from the second GT Open Cup race where a Cup Porsche spun and lightly hit the barrier at the top.

@@MotorsportMeister Ahh thanks

Yeah I think someone did

Have you seen a Panoz? That comment says you haven't and we're on the internet. Doesn't even remote look like that even if you were to squint real hard. Your saying a Toyota Camry looks like a Panoz because the GT3 from the front 90% Camry. And 153 people like the comment, that's wild.

​@ExileXCross I bet you're fun at parties.

?? literally nothing like a panoz

Not to be that guy but I bet this thing doesn’t even make 1/3 of the sound of that old panoz

Is it official?

@@cristianocarrilloso3343custom livery in Gran Turismo perhaps

Yeah just my fantasy

Every mans dream

Looks more like an Aston vantage

Lexus always had long-hood GT3 designs

Lower LC500 maybe?

I mean it's gonna replace the Lexus RC F and Lexus/Toyota is no stranger on making cars with long hoods before (2000GT, Supra, LFA, LC500, etc)

If they make it. Would be a shame if they don't, or if they make it €400,000.

I read a rumour this platform would lead to both a Toyota and Lexus road car.

​@@warboyrb - well, Toyota needs to since GT3 regs require them to build a minimum number of road-going examples for homologation.

@@lordcoombswhat about mazda, i heard toyota shared this platform with mazda rx vision too.

@@lordcoombs I hope so.

They have been in GT3 with the RCF in both IMSA and the WEC.

Thanks you 😁

reminding me of the AMG

its most likely engine from RC-F GT3

Twin-Turbo V8

@@nickcheung7592 I’m aware

@@Hrakuun I am excited Toyota decided to use a v8 again. Another generation of V8 race engines is always a good thing.

Thanks you ! and not really actually, I think this is the second time this car has been driven on a track and in public🙂

Twin Turbo, 6 speed sequential

@@marktucker208 where did you find information on the engine? I can’t find anything

Hope it'll arrive in time to compete with it's pairs 💯💯nice video

​@@lb-motorsportvideo4413 - first one happened in Fuji Speedway back in early 2023, then Motegi later that same year.

Thanks !😁

you can hear the turbos mate

@@NikoMoraKamu I think wasn't Turbo, is straight cut gears sound

​@@NikoMoraKamuno you can't, there aren't any

@@juaneer the car will use the 4.0 l twin turbo v8 that toyota is developing , you can hear in other channels tha the old lexus in the same test sound different

​@@gerlandyhaqi4377that's what I heard

Ferrari isn't LMDh isn't an LMH

Jamais vu une seule RCF par ici alors celle là ne rêvons pas

Yup, currently there's an AMG GT3 which is used to race in Super Taikyu by Rookie Racing, Akio Toyoda's personal team / Toyota's "skunk work" team

@@AbrahamArthemius It's the most consistent and easy for customers to o extract the performance out of. Smart move there.

@@Mr.Waffullz pretty much. The AMG is the closest car that has a similar layout after all (FR & really long hood)

Well it looks similar and sounds similar.

Except the Prius (the last, FR iteration) and Supra's V8 is basically that of the RC F.

Not hybrid for the race car (as with the NSX). Beside, not even hydrogen considering how expensive it is - especially for a customer team.

You're missing the point. GT3s are production race cars; they aren't road legal. It's a huge new market, which is why almost every marque suddenly offers one.

That’s how you see manufacturers leave the sport

GT3s are based on an actual road car. The GT4s are actually closer to the road car. The low production levels allow for manufacturers like McLaren, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, etc... to be able to compete. The BOP allows other manufacturers to be competitive in the sport. It is what makes the competition fun to watch.

​@@pikestance8851 - in Toyota's case, they're developing both the road-going and racing versions at the same time.

@@pmayo7894 They all do. It is part of the regulations.

It hasn’t even raced yet. How could it be underrated?

It seems to be turbocharged though (you can clearly hear the turbos spooling up at 0:21 and the blow off valves releasing the pressure a couple of seconds later) . Which is even more of an achievement given how good it sounds.

pretty sure the detuned version that people can buy will be a 4L twin-turbo V8 cuz they had been testing it for a long time and it's been a roller coaster w/ the development of this engine but we'll see what Lexus product this end up being, a RC/LC replacement or LFA replacement

This is not NA. Can hear that blow off valve.

This is a twin turbo V8. You can hear the turbos spooling and dumping into the wastegate several times.

Well, Toyota has a similar-looking design back in the 60's (the 2000GT, which James Bond provided much of the car's popularity). And yes, it's a twin-turbo V8.

No, they're benchmarking the AMG GT3 and trying to build a better car.

It’s the straight cut gearbox.

It’s the straight cut gearbox.

From the leaked patent couple years ago, yes! But idk which car will coming from this..

Well, Toyota obviously needs a road-going version considering that GT3 regulations requires a minimum number of them built to be able to get it homologated for racing.

Fun fact : the AMG GT3 does not use the same engine as it's road car counterpart, it instead use the old M159 6.2 V8 that were also used in the SLS GT3

1) Lexus will never use a German engine. 2) It's an entirely new engine. TT V8 with an electric motor. Output is estimated to be 900-950 HP

@@yousef.al-assaf that output number is the figure for the road car, coz GT3 will have restrictors and such

@@yousef.al-assaf on your first point there, we will never know exactly until they reveal their car, remember toyota are using a german engine in their supra currently

@WildShotZ14 That's correct, I am talking about the patented road legal version. The leaks that we have so far are only about the road legal "LFR". And Toyota might be the parent company of Lexus, but they don't share the same rules. Lexus will never use an engine that's not developed/co-developed by them. Toyota might, but not Lexus.

Idk why not a lot of manufacturers are following the AMG body style with front engine layout. I think it's reminiscent of the old GT coupe style. A lot ot modern cars, even Corvette, went for the mid-rear engine spider which manufacturers like Ferrari and Mclaren have set the trends. These modern cars look to similar. I think the Mustang GT3 and the M4 GT3 are some of the few that stand out. AMR is consistent with their unique body style imo.

@@constipatedparker5879 Because mid-engined cars have a weight distribution (and with that handling) advantage that front- and rear-engined (as in the engine on or behind the rear axle. Mid engine means the engine behind the driver but in front of the rear axle.) cars just can't replicate no matter how much special aero, suspension and springs you put on the car. My guesstimate is that GT3 is the fastest class in which a front- and rear engine can work as any class that's faster exclusively has mid-engined cars.

​@@Weerknuffelbeeryou can have a front mid engine by the way.

There is no current model

@juaneer Yes in IMSA and WEC is the Lexus RCF GT3.

@@markzebr6463 man this isn't an RCF it's literally called the GR GT3

@@juaneer What you don't seem to comprehend id this...The RCF is a rather old GT3 model. I suspect is that this new model, the GR GT3 will replace it. No manufacturer ever, has produced two GT3 Sports cars.

@@markzebr6463 no i know the RCF is old man, I'm just saying this isn't a new model of the RCF, it's a totally different car

It's been out there before the new Mustang. The new Mustang sounds like this Lexus GR

Meric beaucoup !😁

Comment dire que t'es un vieux con sans le dire directement 😂

Ms en même c grace a ces aides qu'il y en a autant. Plus de pilotes peuvent les conduire et ils peuvent juste dive bomber grace à l'abs

@@eliasmaissour437that’s not the point. GT3 cars are supposed to be for professional racing series

@@chipattack912then watch f1

Je pense que je suis plus en accord avec Elias à ce sujet. J'ai rencontré beaucoup de puristes qui pensent que l'ABS, le TC et le reste ont enlevé de quoi de la course mais je dirais (avec tout respect) que c'est le contraire. Je le compare aux souliers de course. La technologie et l'entraînement que nous avons de nos jours permet aux athlètes d'être plus performants que jamais. Mais il n'y a personne qui dit que les coureurs qui ne courent pas pieds-nus n'est pas un vrai athlète. Si t'as jamais joué à une simulation, (ce que j'imagine tu as fait) tu sais déjà qu'on peut éteindre toutes les petites gardiennes électroniques. Mais la plupart des pilotes te diraient que c'est fou avec la performance des voitures d'aujourd'hui. D'ailleurs, ils doivent savoir moduler ces contrôles pour avoir le maximum de la voiture, sous différentes conditions, pendant des courses qui durent souvent plusieurs heures. Alors, oui, je respecte la vue un peu romantique des puristes, que c'est intéressant de voir la connexion qu'un pilote peut avoir avec une voiture, mais je ne pense pas que les technologies de nos jours ont enlevé ça, au contraire, ils les ont donnés plus de façons pour s'exprimer sur la piste.

No, is GR GT3.

@@rajakozen5678 what is the production model its based on?

​@@d4vidsu - built from scratch - both the production and racing model.

@@d4vidsu a New Model.

@@d4vidsu There has been talk that the production model will be called the Lexus LFR, LFA succesor don't take that for granted tho, it's not been officially confirmed yet

Race car: no, just like the NSX.

For the road legal version, yes

Yup, the LFA's ICE successor (there will be a EV successor too). It will be called something like the "LFR".

"Another AMG GT wannabe" you did not just say that seriously

This design existed long before the AMG GT...

well Lexus is owned by Toyota, the car will most likely be using a lexus badge, but similiar to the RC F GT3 before, it is developed by Toyota's racing department

​@Robintalesfighter GR and TRD are two separate divisions. Lexus Racing only takes the top engineers from both of these teams.

Another v8 who is complaining

It is interesting since they bought that particular AMG GT3 to race.

Toyota copied from the best!

@@ciello___8307 Well, they had to, after all, it's the best race car ever to date. They're making it based on that one. It's why they bought it to race and also to research. It's not like Mercedes-AMG GT is the only one with the mid-front engine car. S2000 and Corvette are good examples.

So the AMGT GT3 is a reskinned Viper GT3? Piss off...

You sound like a pissed off hater knowing deep down this car will break records. The LFA GT3 won most of its races. The RC F is dominating GT3 now. How is Lexus messing up? And this car is anything but an AMG; not the chassis and not the engine. Having a long-hood design has been out there for ages now. BMW can only wish of producing such a car.

@@yousef.al-assaf not a hater. I just really think Lexus could do so much better. And this car is basically a reskinned AMG GT, Toyoda bought a AMG GT race team and used what they learned to develop this car. This will be Lexus’ equivalent to the SLS. We can only hope Lexus/Toyota uses this platform just like how Mercedes did with the SLS. Mercedes used the SLS platform for the AMG GT and Aston Martin Vantage. Toyota/Lexus should also use this platform to make a RC/LC replacement, also make a in-house Supra and Celica.

@godzilla8568 They didn't copy the AMG GT, they developed their own long-hood mid-engine GT3 and used the AMG GT to bench it. Why? The AMG GT is simply the best at it right now. They got it to compare numbers and tweak the "LFR" till it outperforms the AMG GT. Lexus had the LFA when the SLS was out there, nobody copied from the other. The Viper was the king of long-hood GT3 before that. Toyota also had its fair share of long-hood race cars in the 80s and 70s. AMG GT is simply the benchmark. Aston Martin also use it to benchmark the Vintage.

@godzilla8568 A road-legal version is definitely coming. Leaks says it will be hybrid and have 900-950 HP. A detuned version of its engine will be used possibly for the upcoming IS F. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I am expecting a lot in the next 3 years from Lexus, as things are looking good for them.

@@yousef.al-assaf they did copy the AMG GT, just like how Toyota copied multiple manufacturers to build the 2000GT it’s not a bad thing, just frowned upon.

Where did you find the info on the engine? I can’t find anything

if you knew anything, Toyota was working on a 4.0L TT V8 for the LC F pre-covid, which was subsequently cancelled due to the pandemic. This is a continuation of that project.

Have you ever heard of the RC F? That's practically what this thing is, just modernized. It even has the same rumbling Cross-plane V8 as the old RC F (albeit now with an added Twin Turbo)

@@AbrahamArthemius does Mercedes have sole rights on rear sitting mid engine sport cars I’m unaware of? And the RC F is very different from the AMG especially chassis-wise

"Shame it's just an AMG" well shame that AMG's just a Viper with 2 cylinders short lmfao. Be glad Chrysler (Stellantis) bought Dodge to even be able to start the (SLS) AMG line-up that it is today, but screw them for what they've done to Dodge.
