TOYOTA | GR010 3.5L V6 TEAM GAZOO RACING N 7 (40th ANNIVERSARY EDITION) 5th 24h LE MANS 2025 MIKE CONWAY - KAMUI KOBAYASHI - NYCK DE VRIES - RED WHITE BLACK

Draped in retro red-white-black to salute forty years of Toyota at La Sarthe, the #7 GR010 thundered off the grid with Mike Conway unleashing sub-3 min 29s and painting turbo-heat halos on the Dunlop Bridge at dusk.
Kamui Kobayashi’s night double-stint paid homage to his own 2017 lap record—harvesting hybrid juice through Porsche Curves while commemorative “40 Years” crests on the mirrors flashed in TV glare.
Rookie Hypercar ace Nyck de Vries braved 4 a.m. drizzle, carving past GT traffic even as a slow right-rear wheel nut dropped the crew two laps behind the leaders.
At sunrise the trio clawed back to P5, the GR010’s cross-plane V6 rumbling alongside the electric whine of its front motor as a champagne-pink sky crowned the Hunaudières.
Toyota mechanics marked the milestone by taping a tiny 85C silhouette—first Toyota Le Mans entrant, 1985—onto the rear fin before the final fuel splash, a quiet nod to history amid modern hybrid warfare.
This 1 : 18 replica captures every anniversary flourish: brushed-aluminium “40th” badges, bug-spattered nose foil, heat-stained titanium skid blocks and the pit-lane barcode sticker still peeling at the edges.
Own the Hypercar that bridged four decades of Toyota endurance grit—past, present and electric-boosted future wrapped into one stealth-fast celebration.
