Looks to me very much like a veiled tentative confirmation of that car carrying the racing programme into the new regulation set.

Murata:
Project of GR super sports concept has started in April, 2017.
So GR super sports does not link with ACO Hyper Car GT at all.

Tomoyama:
However, Hyper Car GT prototype concept is very welcome for Toyota.

Murata:
We want to introduce AWD hybrid system for road going version of GR super sports.
So hybrid system of racing version of GR super sports will not same as that of road going version.

Kitazawa:
General customer can buy road going version GR super sports. No extra license is needed.
We, GR company will launch racing version at first, then finally, we will deliver road going version car.

Tomoyama:
About Toyota Supra, we examine racing version (LMGTE or GT4?) of Toyota Supra with seriousness.
We are examining "all" GT format for Supra.

I would assume that because I don't know where else it would race but the first comment about it doesn't link up to the ACO's future class is confusing. Did that mean it wasn't made for the class but can be used?

It makes sense though since seemingly the only difference would be 4wd kers on the road car like the current TS050 instead of fwd kers for the new rules.

And the Autosport render of a few months ago marks how this car could look.
