These upgrades not only enhance the car's overall performance but also make it more accessible for amateur drivers, ensuring the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 is both competitive and user-friendly.
The GR Supra GT4 EVO2 will make its racing debut at the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in January 2025, coinciding with the 24 Hours of Daytona. While Toyota has only released expected pricing for the European market, setting the retail price at â¬202,000 EUR, further details on global availability and pricing are anticipated to be shared shortly.
With its blend of performance enhancements and driver-focused refinements, the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 promises to be a force to be reckoned with in the competitive GT4 racing scene. Its debut in early 2025 will undoubtedly draw keen attention from both seasoned professionals and aspiring racers alike.
