Fans to get first opportunity to get up close with new car
Fans can catch a glimpse of the first Toyota GR Supra Supercar at the upcoming Repco Bathurst 1000.
The launch comes ahead of the powerhouse Japanese manufacturer joining the grid from the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship, with Supras entered by Walkinshaw Andretti United and Brad Jones Racing.
A clay model version of the Supra was unveiled at last October's Repco Bathurst 1000, and was placed on display in the paddock at Mount Panorama.
Also revealed Thursday, Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley revealed plans to show off the real thing this year, again at Bathurst.
“The debut of the GR Supra Supercar at the upcoming Bathurst 1000 launch in Sydney marks a truly historic milestone for Toyota in Australian motorsport,” said Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley.
“GR Supra is a car synonymous with performance, passion and power, and as a racecar, it makes an electrifying statement. This isn’t just an arrival — it’s our next bold step as we prepare to join the Supercars grid alongside the Mustang and Camaro in 2026.
“This moment is sure to ignite excitement among fans of Supercars, Toyota and Toyota GAZOO Racing across the nation. And the excitement will only build from here, with the GR Supra Supercar heading to this year’s Bathurst 1000, where fans will have their first opportunity to get up close and personal with this absolute beast of a race car."
Recently, WAU boss Ryan Walkinshaw revealed that the first Supra is set to begin testing by the end of August, with a prototype Supra set to hit the track in coming weeks.
The Repco Sprint Cup segment of the 2025 season concludes at the Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440 on August 8-10 at Queensland Raceway.
All practice, qualifying and race sessions are ad free and live on Foxtel and streamed live on Kayo. The Seven Network will have highlights on Saturday and Sunday.
