Toyota brings back iconic GT-One livery for 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans

Toyota Gazoo Racing seems to be into the groove at coming up with special liveries. In the WRC, they have gone from matte black to silver in a bid to reduce light reflection at the hot gravel rallies ahead. Now, TGR is kicking it old school for their Le Mans racer.

The Japanese manufacturer will be going to the 93rd Le Mans 24 Hours with two GR010 Hybrid hypercars, with the #7 being driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries sporting a red and white livery inspired by the TS020 – otherwise known as the iconic Toyota GT-One racecar that participated in 1998 and 1999.

Yup, that’s the hero Toyota racecar in the Gran Turismo video game series, and its colors have been reimagined for the current GR010 Hybrid.

Meanwhile, the #8 GR010 Hybrid driven by Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will continue the matte black theme. This bridges the past to the present as Toyota bids for win number 6 in the Circuit de la Sarthe.

The 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will happen on June 14-15, 2025, where Toyota Gazoo Racing is set to compete against more than a dozen manufacturer teams in the hypercar class of the World Endurance Championship.
