Listen To The Rumbly V8 Noises Of The Toyota GR Supra GT300
We’re struggling to keep up with all of the racing versions of the Toyota GR Supra. Less than a year on from the car’s reveal we have FIA GT4, Super GT and Nascar Xfinity versions of the Supra, and soon, there’ll be another to add to the roster.
It’s another Super GT machine, but unlike the GT500 car we’ve already seen - built to DTM’s new Class one regulations - this one’s for the GT300 category. No heavily boosted inline-four here - nope, the GT Supra GT300 is packing a filthy-sounding V8.
According to Daily Sportscar, the car complies with JAF-GT300 regulations, meaning - unlike the GT3 and ‘Mother Chassis’ vehicles it’ll mostly compete with - it’s a clean-sheet design.
As such, it’ll have precious little to do with the ‘A90’ GR Supra you can wander into a Toyota showroom and buy for £50k or so. The car will be sitting on a purpose-built platform, with mostly bespoke bodywork that merely resembles the road car.
The engine is thought to be the 3.4-litre V8 used in the Prius GT300 Toyota has been fielding for the last few years. And good lord, does it make a good noise. The only thing that’d make this testing video even more appealing is a Castrol livery…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

There is no sweeter sound than a V8 engine….okay maybe a 3L V10 F1 engine but for modern era nothing beats a racing V8 motor for its ability to shout you to death xD
You mean the harmony of an inline 6 at 5500 rpm. The Lexus LFA v10 beats an f1 because of the Yamaha acoustics
Inline, V or flat six make the best sounds.
V12 too
I’ve heard plenty of cammed LS corvettes. That scream is one of the most sinister ones I’ve heard lol
Porsche flat 6 in the rsr. Not the new one tho
Did You Heard That Sound, That’s A NASCAR V8
