The GR SS is the road hypercar. Toyota said that it was testing already. My guess is that the camo car was what they were talking about, not the black one. Their new lmp-hypercar won't be made from a road car, so that means the GR SS isn't the race car but it will take cues from the GR SS. It's all confusing but I don't think the GR SS that's shown testing in camo from the latest video, is going to be their race car. It's too early for them to be testing it when the rules are just now finalized. Toyota admitted that themselves when asked about the new regs situation. They said the ACO/FIA was leaving it really late for them to get a car built and ready for testing. If that's the case then the GR SS isn't going to be used for the new regs. It also seems like there's no more incentive to run a road car turned race car in the rules.
