Toyota Motor Corporation (GAZOO Racing) announced on the 10th that it has launched the 'GR Kart (GR KART),' a racing kart designed for entry into motorsports, at a price of 385,000 yen (approximately 3.36 million won). Toyota's GR karts will be sold through GR Garages and affiliated kart tracks across Japan, with the goal of expanding the base of motorsports participation.
The key feature is that it lowers the barrier to entry, allowing everyone from children to amateur racers to easily access motorsports. According to Toyota, most minivans can accommodate the kart. In particular, by connecting with the 'GR app,' users can systematically learn about everything from pre-purchase training to post-purchase driving support.
The main specifications of the GR Kart are a length of 1,820mm, width of 1,160mm, height of 670mm, and wheelbase of 1,045mm. It has a single seat. The vehicle's curb weight is 83kg, with a total displacement of 215cc, making it suitable for recreational karts. Sales are supported by a wide network established through numerous regional hubs, ensuring accessibility for anyone.
Toyota has consistently grown its racing division over a long period, establishing deep roots in motorsports ranging from top-tier endurance races to amateur competitions. The launch of the GR Kart is expected to serve as an important opportunity to further expand Toyota's extensive grassroots foundation in this field.
