Toyota's 2025 Gazoo Racing GR GT Prototype — a brand-new mid-engine hypercar concept positioned to rival Ferrari and McLaren. Selected as one of Forza Horizon 6's two cover cars (alongside the 2025 Land Cruiser), it's the most ceremonial car choice for the Japan setting.

GR GT Origin
Gazoo Racing (GR) is Toyota's in-house high-performance and motorsport division — responsible for the GR Yaris, GR Corolla, and GR Supra (A90). In 2025, GR unveiled the new flagship concept "GR GT Prototype" — a clean-sheet platform mid-engine hypercar aimed squarely at the Ferrari 296 and McLaren 750S.
This represents Toyota's first serious supercar foray since the Toyota 2000GT and Lexus LFA. Development included extensive Nürburgring 24-hour testing — which is exactly why the GR GT was chosen by FH6 as the symbol of "Japan's hypercar future."
Design Language
The GR GT's visual identity blends several Japanese flavors:
Low blade-shaped front — an homage to the Lexus LFA "knife" silhouette.
Active rear wing — adjustable angle that responds to speed automatically.
Stance — wide-body proportions with a uniquely Japanese restraint.
Exclusive colors — Toyota prepared a limited "Akina Red" paint specifically for FH6.
In FH6
The GR GT Prototype is one of FH6's two cover cars. Pre-order or standard edition players can unlock it early in the campaign without special conditions. It sits in S2 class (PI 900-950), with:
An exclusive "Forza Edition" version with skill bonuses
Why It's the Cover
Choosing the GR GT Prototype rather than a classic JDM legend like the AE86 or R34 is Playground Games' clear narrative: "FH6 is not only an Initial D pilgrimage — it's a declaration of Japan's automotive future." The GR GT represents Toyota, represents the GR brand, and represents the next decade of Japanese hypercar ambition. Putting it on the cover signals the partnership level.
The other cover car, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser, represents off-road and lifestyle — one austere, one warm — perfectly covering both pillars of Forza Horizon player demand: high performance and exploration.
