    And it may also become the first car from outside the Toyota line-up – and the first from the Lexus luxury-car division – to wear the Japanese car giant’s Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR) performance badge, the report claims.

    I’d put doubt to this report simply because Gazoo is very clearly being broken out into a distinct sub-brand, not a trim level. In fact, the recent FT-Se concept just wears GR badging, with no other accompanying badging whatsoever. It wouldn’t make sense for them to make a “Lexus GR” — it would just be a GR.

    I’m happy to be wrong, but this report just doesn’t seem to be consistent with Toyota’s current direction with GR at first glance.

      Could just be badged as an F-sport performance model that uses GR drivetrain components
