The car wore a distinct aero package and shared the circuit with a Porsche 911 GT3 RS as a benchmark, which all but confirms Toyota is chasing a track-focused machine with license plates.<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Baldauf<\/p>\n<p>Differences compared to the standard GR GT include a sharper splitter, canards, vented fenders, and a fixed rear wing.
