by While Toyota is preparing to unveil the Gazoo Racing GT supercar along with its Lexus counterpart this week, the internet has already tried to beat them to it. A series of images supposedly showing the car in full appeared on social media, but they turned out to be the result of artificial intelligence work.

The photos, which appeared to be screen captures, became a hot topic on social media and quickly spread across forums and feeds. Some viewers took them at face value, convinced they were seeing the real GR GT.
To be honest, especially the rear view could pass for the real thing, although the front bumper air intakes do not match Toyota’s official teasers.
It turns out the so-called “leak” originates from a video published on the YouTube channel Evren Ozgun Spy Sketch. Although the clip itself is clearly marked as unofficial, it was convincing enough for someone to take phone screenshots, present them as authentic, and briefly capture the internet’s attention.

The video itself draws inspiration from a recent Toyota Gazoo Racing commercial that aired on Japanese television, announcing the model’s upcoming debut. In this AI-powered interpretation, the car appears under a clear sky, its proportions and reflections reproduced with astonishing accuracy.
Nevertheless, there are revealing details: the door handles are wrong, the side air intakes differ from the teasers, and the rear emblem for some reason says “Toyota” instead of the GR logo.

Toyota positions the GR GT as the spiritual successor to both the classic 2000 GT and the more modern Lexus LFA. It is set to become the brand’s new performance flagship, equipped with a hybrid setup that combines electric assistance with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. This combination is meant to make it as technically appealing as it is historically significant.

The curtain will officially rise on December 4th, when Toyota unveils the GR GT alongside the Lexus sports coupe. Both road-going and racing versions are expected, the latter featuring track-ready aerodynamics, side-exit exhaust systems, and a noticeably lower stance.
Until then, you can find unofficial videos circulating online—an entertaining preview of a car that very soon won’t need any digital impostors to attract attention.
