21.04.2026Twice Toyota Hypercar, 24 hours, one classic

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is and remains the ultimate test in endurance racing. Technology, strategy, and endurance determine victory or defeat, and few manufacturers have shaped this discipline in recent years as much as Toyota. In 2025, the Japanese manufacturer once again fielded two Toyota GR010 Hybrids, facing off against the international hypercar competition.

The Ixo label has now recreated the two cars, numbered 7 and 8, in scale 1:18, bringing a piece of recent Le Mans history to your display case. The models impress with their harmonious proportions and the precise reproduction of the striking livery. The sponsor logos and fine graphic details are cleanly rendered, ensuring high recognition value.

The aerodynamic elements are particularly impressive. The complex shapes of the front end, the side air intakes, and the distinctive rear design have been faithfully reproduced. The intricate rims and the typical racing look of the hypercars also contribute to both models convincingly reflecting the dynamics of the original.

Toyota fielded a strong lineup with these two cars. The No. 7 car was driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries – a trio with considerable experience at Le Mans. The sister crew of the No. 8 car consisted of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ry? Hirakawa, all established figures in endurance racing and multiple successes at the highest level.

The Toyota GR010 Hybrid itself is the result of state-of-the-art hybrid technology in motorsport. With a complex drive concept combining a combustion engine and an electric motor, it represents the current pinnacle of the hypercar class. The striking aerodynamics, with its flat front, wide fenders, and distinctive rear, ensure not only maximum efficiency on Le Mans' long straights but also stability in fast corners like the Porsche Curves and the Indianapolis Corner.

The 2025 race once again demonstrated the crucial importance of consistency and strategy. Over 24 hours, lead changes, pit stops, and tactical decisions alternated. Toyota once again proved its strength, finishing the race in 5th place (car #7) and 15th place (car #8) overall.

For collectors of modern endurance racing cars and fans of the hypercar class, these two models offer an excellent opportunity to capture a current chapter in motorsport history. The Toyota GR010 Hybrid has long since become a fixture at Le Mans. A powerful duo for any collection and a symbol of the hybrid era in endurance racing.
