The final product previewed by the FT-Se concept has the electric Porsche Cayman and an undisclosed target Nürburgring time in its sights.

While Toyota has not yet actually confirmed that a GR-branded electric sports car in the general shape of a mid-engined car is on its way, every new detail about the FT-Se concept suggests that we may see it on the road sooner rather than later. Its designer has already said Toyota is planning to see it built after 2026, and now we know that a production version would already have a target motor layout, direct competitor, and even 'Ring time.

That performance should come from a dual motor, all-wheel-drive setup, unusual for a Toyota sports car but quickly becoming an industry standard for a performance EV. While he would not reveal the lap time, Hazama also says that Toyota's performance targets include an ideal time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. He says the team plans to take a prototype to the 'Ring in the future, so our next look at the development of the car may come as spy shots from the Green Hell.
