Get ready for an exciting revelation from Toyota! The automotive giant has dropped a major hint about a new GR model coming to America, and it's got everyone talking.
Last year, Toyota's GRIP anime series hinted at the revival of the Celica and MR2, leaving fans eager for more. Now, a new episode has surfaced, and it's packed with another tantalizing tease. At the end of the video, a list appears: GR Supra, GR86, GR Corolla, and an enigmatic GR [blank]. The fourth model's name remains a mystery, sparking wild speculation and excitement.
But here's where it gets controversial: it's unlikely to be the GR Yaris, as its lifecycle is nearing its end. However, Toyota's previous allusion to the Celica and MR2 in the GRIP episode leaves room for doubt. Dealers in the U.S. have reportedly caught a glimpse of the reborn Celica, and test mules are already on the road. So, could it be a surprise return for these iconic sports cars?

While the GR86 and Supra will eventually get new generations, Toyota's hints suggest something beyond these models. The company has previously mentioned a production version of the 2023 FT-Se concept, but that's still a few years away. So, what's the big reveal?
Many believe it could be the highly anticipated supercar. With the GR GT3 set to debut soon, the timing aligns perfectly. We already know it'll pack a powerful twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 hybrid engine, and there's even talk of a Lexus version. But here's the part most people miss: the covered vehicle in the video has a distinct coupe silhouette, which could point to the Celica or the supercar.
So, is it the supercar or a surprise GR model? Toyota is keeping us guessing, but one thing is clear: they're gearing up to add a fourth GR model to the U.S. market.
