Yethulwe embukisweni wakamuva we-Tokyo Motor Show, i-Toyota GR GT3 umqondo, njengoba negama lisho, umqondo… kodwa okwamanje. Yize ukubukeka kwayo okumangalisayo kudonse ukunaka emibikweni yokuqala, akudingi ukumba okuningi ukuthola ukuthi iyini ngempela nokuthi kungani imele into enkulu kangaka kwaToyota kanye nohlobo lwayo lweGazoo Racing.
Nakuba i-Toyota ingakayikhiphi imininingwane, i-GR GT3 Concept ngokusobala ayiyona nje ikhithi yomzimba ye-Supra, enezilinganiso ezihluke ngokuphawulekayo kanye nesitayela esiyingqayizivele. Lokhu kusikisela ukuthi kwaToyota balungiselela imoto entsha yezemidlalo ezoma ngaphezu kweGR Supra ukuze iqhudelane nezilomo ezinkulu ebhizinisini.
Kwa Toyota baze bakusho lokhu ekukhipheni kwabo ngokusemthethweni le moto, ehlanganisa uhlelo lwe-GR Yaris, okwenze le nkampani yakha umfuziselo oyisipesheli onezicabha ezintathu ohlelweni lwayo lweWorld Rally Championship.
“Njengakwi-GR Yaris, ngokudayisa izimoto zezimoto kunokumane ziguqule izimoto ezikhiqizayo zisetshenziswe ezemidlalo,” kusho i-Toyota esitatimendeni, “i-TGR ihlose ukukhulisa impendulo nobuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe ngokubamba iqhaza emicimbini eyahlukene yezimoto, ukuze kuthuthukiswe zombili i-GT3. kanye nezimoto zokukhiqiza eziwuchungechunge, nokusiza ekudaleni izimoto ezingcono kakhulu ze-motorsport.
