Toyota's Gazoo Racing division has unveiled a unique Camry with two engines, producing 700 horsepower. The car was showcased at the 24-hour Super Taikyu endurance race, where local automakers displayed their latest projects. Subaru also presented three new production-bound cars with manual gearboxes.
The Toyota Camry with two engines features a smaller three-cylinder unit from the GR Yaris, GR Corolla, and Lexus LBX Morizo RR, producing 300 horsepower and driving the front axle. Additionally, a second engine, codenamed "G20E," is mounted in the back, generating about 400 horsepower and sending it to the rear axle.

Although it won't enter production, the concept showcases the creativity and innovation of Toyota's engineering teams. Another Camry, built by Toyota Racing, features a Bōsōzoku-style design with the new four-cylinder engine installed under the hood.
While Toyota remains tight-lipped about additional technical specifications, reports claim the black Camry has been converted to rear-wheel drive, with power routed through a manual gearbox. Both cars were built purely as showpieces, and their unique designs have attracted significant attention.
Motor1's Take: It's refreshing to see the world's largest automaker give its engineering teams the freedom to have some fun from time to time. Neither Camry stands any chance of reaching production, but it's fascinating to see what happens when imagination runs wild.
We can only hope the new 400-horsepower engine eventually finds its way into a GR Camry. In the meantime, it's likely to make its debut in the long-awaited return of the Celica. Toyota has also hinted at a new MR2 and already confirmed there will be a next-generation Supra, so there's clearly something exciting on the horizon.
