Hardly a surprise, the factory support for both had already ended before this season.

Edit - Thanks for the correction carbsmith, I didn't realize both cars had lost factory support already. |

Well maybe I shouldn't say "support" because I'm sure they still get some engineering assistance and financial help running the cars just because of the technology and the team relationships with the manufacturer, but neither car is being actively developed by the factory anymore. Mugen was the major partner in the CR-Z project.

Ferrari 488 GT3 has been unveiled in Mugello by Ferrari yesterday.
But the price of Ferrari 488 GT3 at least 525,000 Euros or 630,000 Euros !!! the car is believed to be the most expensive GT3 racer of the new generation. I bet Direction Racing (#77)and Team Taisan can't afford Ferrari 488 GT3 for next season of SUPER GT!! http://www.gazzetta.it/Auto/07-11-20...?refresh_ce-cp http://sportscar365.com/blancpain/ri...rrari-488-gt3/ |

So far I haven't heard about planning of Japanese teams to buy 488 GT3, maybe it's too soon to judge if they can afford to buy the car or not. Probably different case with M6 GT3, it's available for Japanese team (Studie) next year. |

But how about Lamborghini Huracan GT3 ???? . Do you heard about planning to buy Huracan GT3 for Japanese team???? @Japanese Samurai Will Team Taisan and Direction Racing purchase Lamborghini Huracan GT3 or other GT3 car as Ferrari 488 GT3 is too expensive to own????

More than that, I have no idea at all. Probably you need to ask more informations from teams' insiders or waiting for official news. |

hvr777 is right that you should go to Japan talk to the teams directly for news instead, AkioAsakura95.
Meanwhile, I still can't believe that both CR-Z and Prius won't be competing in 2016! |

I don't think the demise of either Prius or CR-Z is confirmed yet, though I think its likely. Would leave the Subaru the only JAF GT300 out there, unless of course Honda/Toyota teams have a plot. They have a plot.

Yes I'd be highly surprised if they didn't have a plot. I can see Toyota running a 86 of some type but Honda I'm not sure about.

I could imaging the RX-Vision racing once again in GT3 form (and not the Mother Chassis one).
Still, it would be nice if RE Amemiya would work on this in the future! |

I'm hoping that Honda will roll-out the hybrid GT3 version of their NSX car for next year.
