Just a 2-seater apparently.
Toyota seemingly decided that nobody wanted another MkIV, and so the MkV is no longer to be a GT car but instead something called a "pure sports car".

So this was on the Nurburgring this morning, and going rather quickly. Impressively so. 3 flying laps whilst was there & looked quicker each time...

The original wasn’t a GT car either. It was a sports car.

If you're referring to the MkIV, I think most would disagree with that.

In most people's eyes it was one of the definitive GT cars of its time.
Winning the Japanese GT Championship in 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005.

Big heavy front engined 2+2 coupe with good space? Yep, that was a GT.

I predict it will do somewhere around a 7min50sec-8min00sec lap

Made from a parts catalogue leak. No perspective turned on so not really an accurate representation. And so the saga goes on!

Toyota seemingly updated their website overnight, and put some official pictures on there - before quickly taking them down & replacing them with the usual disguised shots. Anyhow...
