Not long ago, Toyota announced that it had decided to design racing cars for the track first and then create the roadgoing production version from there. This means that the GT3 racer will not be compromised by excessive weight or a less-than-ideal layout. Toyota will build a great racer, and that will inherently translate to a great driver’s car.
As for what to expect in terms of power figures, everything that follows is pure speculation as nothing has yet been confirmed or even hinted at.
The current RC F has a naturally aspirated V8 generating 472 horsepower. Its performance is somewhat lethargic, and the headline figures don’t compete with current rivals. Therefore, we predict more than the 503 hp currently offered by the BMW M4 and somewhere below what the 671-hp plug-in hybrid Mercedes-AMG C 63 produces. We’re guessing north of 600 hp.
Hopefully, we’ll have more to confirm soon, but we expect info will dribble out of Toyota HQ at a slow rate until we get much closer to that 2026 launch date.
