Toyota Supra SP700 (GT1/GTM Prototype)
The Toyota Supra SP700 is a wild, one-off endurance racer based on the Mk4 Supra platform, developed in the era when privateer and factory-built GT machinery blurred into full-blown prototype territory. This machine turns the familiar Japanese icon into a towering, high-downforce monster with serious straight-line speed and unmistakable late-90s motorsport attitude.

In the Simulator Feel
The Supra SP700 feels like a brute-force GT monster: fast, stable at speed, and incredibly rewarding once it’s properly settled into a corner. It combines the Supra’s classic long-hood balance with enough aero grip and suspension tuning to make it feel much more like a purpose-built racer than a road car with license plates removed. Compared to modern GT machinery, it’s a bit more mechanical and raw, but that’s exactly what gives it character.
Engine & Sound: The turbocharged 2JZ delivers that iconic deep-six growl, followed by a hard-edged surge as boost comes in. Off-boost it feels calm and composed; on boost, it pulls with relentless mid-range torque and a distinctive turbo scream that makes the car feel much faster than the numbers suggest. It’s one of those cars that always sounds like it means business.
Handling Characteristics:
Cornering: Stable and confidence-inspiring on entry, with moderate understeer if you overdrive the front end. Strong rotation can be coaxed out with trail braking.
Traction: Excellent in a straight line, but the rear can step out under aggressive throttle application, especially on corner exit or over kerbs.
Braking: Strong and durable, though it likes a firm pedal and disciplined technique to stay balanced under deceleration.
Top Speed: Very competitive thanks to the power level and long gearing, making it a threat on fast circuits and long straights.
Driving Style Tip: Drive it with momentum and patience. The Supra SP700 rewards smooth inputs, clean exits, and early setup for corners rather than last-second heroics. It shines on fast, flowing tracks where its power and stability can really stretch their legs.
Livery & Aesthetics: The SP700 looks gloriously extreme, with aggressive arches, deep splitters, a towering rear wing, and all the visual drama you’d expect from a purpose-built GT-style Supra. It has that unmistakable 90s endurance-racing presence: wide, low, and slightly over-the-top in the best possible way.
Whether you’re chasing hot laps or just want to experience one of Toyota’s most charismatic race-bred creations, the Supra SP700 delivers big turbo energy, classic JDM flavor, and a huge smile every lap.
