Toyota Gazoo Racing is set to showcase an intriguing concept car at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2018, called the GR Super Sport concept, which is inspired by its LMP1 Hybrid effort in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The car, which in its teaser shot looks to feature direct styling cues from an LMP prototype, presents an interesting outlook into the brand’s future in endurance competition. With the potential for road car-derived LMP1 machinery from 2020 onwards, it’s notable that Toyota has designed a car which it says “originates from its FIA WEC competition, as an example of how technological feedback acquired through motorsports activities is incorporated in its road cars”.

In addition to showing off its Super Sport concept, Toyota Gazoo Racing’s exhibit will include its Yaris WRC and TS050 Hybrid as well as production vehicles such as the 86 GR and the Vitz GRMN, a 150-unit limited edition model for Japan.

The vehicles scheduled to compete in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in May will also be revealed, while the drivers for the race will be announced on January 12.
