The GR GT’s design features a large hood, slim headlights, and a raised profile, emphasizing its sporty origins. The car rides on 20-inch wheels with 265/35 tires at the front and 325/30 tires at the rear. Carbon-ceramic brakes are installed all around, and the suspension is a double-wishbone design.
