Toyota Unveils GR Supra Supercar for 2026 at Bathurst 1000

The roar of engines at Bathurst 1000 had barely faded when Toyota hit the motorsport world with one of the most electrifying reveals in recent memory. Amidst the excitement, the brand unveiled a full-size clay model of the upcoming GEN3 GR Supra Supercar, set to tear up the Supercars grid from 2026. With its bold curves and aggressive stance, this “Supracar” promises to shake up Australia’s premier motorsport category in a big way.

Fans and insiders alike have dubbed Toyota’s entry into the Supercars scene the “biggest news in local motorsport history.” It’s not every day Australia’s top-selling automotive brand throws its hat into the Supercars ring, and it’s clear Toyota means business.

The clay model of the GR Supra, showcased at Mount Panorama, was designed by Toyota Design Australia. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Supra lineage, including styling cues from the original 2014 FT-1 concept, the model combines Toyota’s racing pedigree with a modern, muscular design. The A90 signage on the windscreen proudly references the fifth-generation GR Supra, known for its prowess both on the road and track. The body of the model, with its wide fenders, aerodynamic splitters, and massive rear wing, screams performance.

Toyota Unveils GR Supra Supercar for 2026 at Bathurst 1000

Unveiled by Toyota Australia’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley, and Senior Manager of Toyota Design Australia, Nic Hogios, the Supracar’s reveal has already set motorsport circles buzzing. Hogios summed it up perfectly: “The dynamic, athletic exterior of the race car truly captures the passion, excitement, and energy of Toyota and its GR range of sports cars.”

With its rich history of beloved models like the 2000GT, Celica, and MR2, Toyota’s decision to join the Supercars ranks feels like a love letter to both its fans and the Australian motorsport scene. The 2026 season can’t come fast enough!

“Our design team has amped up the car significantly, giving fans a fresh perspective of GR Supra performance through a car that instantly looks like it owns the track,” Mr Hogios said.

“We are enthusiasts first and foremost, and the GR Supra Supercar is the kind of project we dream about working on. We can’t wait to see it competing and winning in Supercars, including right here at Bathurst,” he said.

Mr Hanley said Toyota’s decision to enter Supercars would reinforce the “fun to drive” spirit that is intrinsic to Toyota’s commitment to making ever-better cars.

“Taking part in the heat of Supercars, as well as other racing and rallying series around the world, provides technical learnings that can be transferred to the development of our entire range of vehicles – not just our sports cars,” Mr Hanley said.

“We are looking forward to building on the passion among enthusiasts for our GR range and to generating interest and excitement among motorsport fans, including those who are new to our brand.

“We are also keen to involve our own people, enabling them to improve their skills and acquire new abilities in the high-pressure teamwork environment that is motorsport.

“The experience gained by our local designers, modellers and engineers with their stunning GR Supra Supercar is a perfect example of what motorsport can help us achieve.”
