After a year of teasing, Toyota has revealed their contender for the Supercars Championship from 2026 and it makes Holdens and Fords look like dinosaurs.
Developed and Designed in partnership between Toyota Australia and the Walkinshaw Andretti United Supercar team, the car looks just as good as you’d expect given the style of the donor road car.
There will be six Toyota’s on the grid for the 2026 Supercars Championship with WAU’s Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood, along with four cars from Brad Jones Racing.
Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley was excited for the big reveal, saying “What a fantastic day for Toyota, GR and for Supercars – the racecar we see here today is the culmination of years of planning and hard work from countless people, and it’s safe to say it was well worth it,”
“The GR Supra will make for an exciting addition to the Supercars grid next year, and we can’t wait to see it in action.
“Toyota has a rich history in Australian motorsport stretching way back to its first ever entry in international motorsport in the 1957 Mobilgas Round Australia Rally and our entry into the Supercars Championship takes this to new heights.
“Participating in motorsport, as Toyota does across the globe, is an integral part of the development of our road cars, and the experience and knowledge we gain is at the heart of our TOYOTA GAZOO Racing brand and our GR performance cars, which is an ever evolving and fast-growing space for us in Australia, with further exciting development to come.
“I’d like to thank everyone at Toyota who helped make the GR Supra Supercar a reality, and to Supercars, Walkinshaw Andretti United and Brad Jones Racing for partnering with Toyota for this historic entry into the Supercars Championship,” he said.
Ryan Walkinshaw from said “What a moment today is, as the covers come off the GR Supra Supercar – a huge thank you must start with everyone at Toyota, for their trust, their belief, and their support of Walkinshaw Andretti United. An absolute mountain of work has been poured in to get to this point, which everyone involved should be immensely proud of.
“To see it in the flesh almost feels surreal, it’s a momentous day for Walkinshaw Andretti United, for Toyota and for Supercars… I still can’t believe how good it looks!
“The program ramps up now, it definitely doesn’t slow down. We can’t wait for the GR Supra to hit the track and turn its first laps in anger, but also for fans to see it up close and personal, starting at the perfect place, Bathurst!
“We’ve got some big races to try and win this year still, but I can’t help thinking about 2026 either.”
Brad Jones said “Congratulations to the entire team at Toyota and WAU on what they’ve achieved over the past 12 months. It’s been incredible to witness a concept evolve into a reality and even more rewarding to have played a role in that journey.
“This is a landmark moment and we’re proud that BJR is part of it. Working closely with both Toyota and Walkinshaw has been an extremely beneficial experience for our team. And what they’ve delivered so far is nothing short of exceptional.”
“There’s still a long way to go before we’re lining up on the grid next year. But this next phase is where the real excitement begins. Our first Supra build is well underway, and I genuinely can’t wait to see it all come together.”
It’s a big deal for Toyota, committing to Supercars for at least five years.
You’ll be able to see the Toyota Supercar for yourself at Mount Panorama this year for the Bathurst 1000!
