- The GR GT supercar received a digital tuning by Khyzyl Saleem.
- It includes wide fenders, carbon fiber aero, and BBS E88 alloy wheels.
- The standalone Gazoo Racing flagship will likely draw real tuners.
Every flagship eventually attracts someone who thinks it could go further. The GR GT is Toyota’s performance high-water mark and the spiritual heir to the Lexus LFA. Even with its ultra-long nose and low GT3-racer proportions, there are people who want it wilder still, closer to the exotics it runs with.
Independent designer Khyzyl Saleem is one of them. His first digital reworking of the GR GT is, in his own words, “just a lil chonk,” which undersells what he actually did to it.

The Japanese supercar picks up a custom bodykit, fresh alloys, and a bespoke livery, all of it dialing the visual drama up toward Lamborghini territory. The centerpiece of the styling work is the set of wide fender extensions, blended into the existing bodywork.
The fenders pair with a more aggressive carbon-fiber splitter. Down the flanks, Saleem added side gills and extra fins along the skirts. The bigger change sits at the corners of the GR GT with a set of deep-dish BBS E88 wheels, and the whole car dropped closer to the road.

The rear end appears to be carried over, as the standard model already comes with a large ducktail spoiler, an aggressive diffuser and quadruple tailpipes. As a final touch, the digital artist chose a new color combining a purple shade for the main bodywork with a black roof.

Saleem didn’t mention any performance upgrades but the hybrid setup of the GR GT is competent enough to support the sportier bodykit. The car runs a twin-turbo dry-sump 4.0-liter V8 making at least 641 hp, with an electric motor adding extra shove. Toyota still hasn’t published a combined output figure, though it has confirmed a top speed beyond 199 mph (320 km/h).
Deliveries of the first standalone model from Gazoo Racing are expected to start in 2027. Whether buyers will actually bolt on aftermarket kit like Saleem’s is another question. Either way, Toyota’s flagship is the sort of car tuners tend to circle.
