Toyota GT-One

André de Cortanze · 1998

The Toyota GT-One (TS020) is a Le Mans-specific racing car designed by André de Cortanze for Toyota Team Europe. It ran under Group GT1 and later LMGTP regulations in 1998 and 1999. Seven chassis were built. Two road-legal versions satisfied homologation. Its twin-turbo 3.6 L R36V V8 was derived from Toyota’s Group C programme. Only two cars finished Le Mans — LM804 in 1999 and LM805 in 1998. The programme ended after 1999.
