Toyota GT-One Street - 1998

3,6 Litre

V8 Twin Turbo

550 HP

Vmax : 371 km/h

 

Imagine seeing this super-fast car appear in your rear-view mirror. The chance is small, but possible, because the Toyota GT-One is street legal. Only one example was built, necessary to meet the regulations of the GT1 endurance racing championship. Toyota made no concessions to luxury or practicality. The street version only differs from its racing brother by a different rear spoiler, higher ground clearance and smaller tank. Developed by Toyota’s motorsport department and motorsport specialist Dallara, the GT-One has a carbon fibre monocoque and body panels, which keeps the weight extremely low. The 3.6 V8 engine, derived from the Group C racing cars, delivers 550 hp thanks to two turbos. Toyota built six racing cars. Because the GT1 rule changed from a minimum of 25 road cars to a minimum of 1 in 1998, the Japanese only produced one road car.
