Driver Alex Wurz said: "it was an honour to perform in front of the General public for the first time on this improved version of the GR Super Sport, especially at a circuit like Le Mans. GR Super Sport was born at Le Mans, so it was like coming home. This was my first experience driving a car, so even though just one demo lap didn't allow me to get the most out of it, I realized that the GR Super Sport has the potential for incredible performance. I could feel the similarities between the GR Super Sport and the TS050 HYBRID in terms of performance, especially in terms of all-wheel drive and hybrid system. But the engineers tell me that this was only a small part of the true potential of the GR Super Sport, so I am very happy to think that I will be able to ride it again in the near future ."
