Own a PlayStation? Go and Drive the Toyota Supra GR Racing Concept!
PlayStation and Gran Turismo fans rejoice: the Toyota Supra GR Racing Concept is now playable in Gran Turismo Sport.
Toyota announced its Supra GR Racing Concept would appear in GT Sport following its debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle arrives in the game alongside the 1.18 update, which also added a new track, Dragon Tail Gardens.
In the game, the Supra GR Racing Concept produces 591 hp and weighs 1,243 kg, equivalent to 2,740 lbs. The GR Racing Concept is a rough outline of what to expect from the eventual Supra GTE racecar that will take on Le Mans, so its weight and performance figures probably aren’t indicative of the road car.

“Although the car had been discontinued for a few decades, the Toyota Supra remains a Japanese sports-car icon. As past models are now becoming collector cars, the GR Supra Racing Concept revives the legend and provides a glimpse of what may come in the future in terms of the next production-model Supra,” Gran Turismo said in a post on its website.
So if you have a PS4 and GT Sport, what are you doing?! Go and drive the Supra GR Racing Concept! And if you don’t have the game or a PlayStation, be sure to check out the in-game onboard footage of the car embedded below.

sweet. I have a Playstation......a PS2; oh, whoops. Guess I'll just keep churnin' away at GT4 and TW 2004. a cool thing no doubt, but just one more marketing hype tactic that will usher in, in my opinion, a ho-hum, middle-weight sports car that promised high and delivered just below the middle. I'm not in the market for this eventual car, but it seems it will be DOA whenever Toyota gets around to delivering it to market and has the potential to fall in the shadow of the Z4 it was co-developed with.
