Toyota Racing recently shared the above picture on social media, suggesting that it has some news to share about this particular GR 86 tomorrow, June 1.

We have someone at Toyota's HQ, so we'll be able to get the official word from the source. 

Until then, what do we think it is? Is it the upcoming GR Cup car, or is it something else entirely? Spec series? 

June 1 update: Toyota announces an even faster GR Corolla–the GR Corolla Morizo–plus a GR86 spec series and GR86 Special Edition.

Maybe it'll be a TRD version of the GR 86–meaning it'll be the Toyota Gazoo Racing 86 Toyota Racing Development. wink

Free 86s for everyone on the grassroots motorsports forum if we promise to race them?

Hi everyone! I'm on the scene here in Texas at Toyota North America HQ. They're going to make several announcements about their 2023 Toyota lineup tomorrow, and Lexus tonight. So far, I haven't heard anything about a GR edition Sienna.

I guess I'm kind of hoping for TC/TCA/TCR cars like the Honda Civic lineup. A spec series would be cool, but also very high-risk without venues and teams already committed, and I just don't think they'd have been able to keep that secret to this point if that were it.
