Toyota has addressed recent media reports suggesting that its new GR GT supercar is no longer available for purchase in the United States. The company stated that a comment made by Andrew Gilleland, Senior Vice President of Toyota Motor North America, was misinterpreted.
Gilleland’s remarks were intended to describe the high level of interest shown for the vehicle at The Quail event, rather than to indicate that all units had been presold.
A Toyota spokesperson confirmed that the company has not yet presold any cars. The GR GT is being positioned as the next halo supercar for the brand. Some observers have described the model as a potential successor to the Lexus LFA, highlighting its importance to Toyota’s lineup.
The vehicle features a front-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine combined with a single electric motor. This powertrain configuration generates 640 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. The system is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Further details regarding specific sales figures or delivery timelines were not provided in the clarification.
