Toyota took just about everyone by surprise at the beginning of 2018 when it unveiled the GR Super Sport Concept signaling a road-going hypercar to complement its WEC racer. Subsequent news about the electrified flagship sports car have been few and far between, and the future doesn’t look too bright either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citing Japanese media outlets, Racer magazine claims a pre-production prototype of the street-legal version was involved in an accident during a recent test at Fuji Speedway. The hybrid hypercar allegedly caught fire and sustained serious damages, prompting Toyota to abort the road car’s development. The new report seemingly confirms the initial rumors from Japan as the GR Super Sport’s fiery crash “may well bring the road car project to a premature end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
