We’re just weeks away from the 2025 Japan Mobility show (October 30 – November 9), but before that it appears that Toyota is already setting the stage for something big this Monday. The company quietly updated its homepage with a cryptic teaser that already has the car community buzzing. The big clue is that the sign at Fuji Speedway has changed.
On the left is the Toyota 2000GT and next to it, the legendary V10-powered Lexus LFA, both immensely significant models for Toyota. The 2000GT from the late 1960s was, of course, the car that put Japan on the global sports car map. Decades later, the LFA introduced in 2010, proved Toyota couldn’t just build sports cars, but also a world-class supercar. So when the brand teases a third silhouette beside these icons, it’s fair to expect something extraordinary.

Monday could mark the official reveal of Toyota’s new GT GT3 racer, which could serve as the foundation for what’s likely coming next: the Lexus LFR, the road-going supercar and successor to the LFA. David Wilson, president of Toyota Racing Development, hinted earlier this year that the GT GT3’s debut is imminent, noting it could compete at the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2026.
So far, we’ve only seen camouflaged prototypes testing at Fuji, the Nürburgring and Goodwood. The Lexus concept previewed first in 2021 and subsequently at the 2022 Tokyo Motor Show already hinted at an aggressive front end, long hood, and proportions that appear to house a front mid-engine layout, most likely to feature a twin-turbo V8 hybrid setup, and a carbon fiber monocoque developed in partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing.
This upcoming event isn’t limited to Lexus and GR because Toyota’s teaser also features the Crown and Daihatsu logos, suggesting a broader lineup refresh or performance tie-ins across its brands. If you’re a fan of Japanese performance cars, the reveal next week could be a big one and worth looking forward to. Catch the live stream at the link below.
