In the rareified world of flagship sports cars, every little bit of technological edge is worth its weight in titanium and carbon fiber. That may explain Toyota’s latest patent for the GR GT, the exotic front-engined super-coupe powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. The automaker’s keen engineers knew that the engine could potentially have minor performance anomalies, stuff that not even the most enthusiastic street driver would notice, such as momentarily uneven intake pressure in the right and left banks of the engine. But just because owners wouldn’t notice it doesn’t mean Toyota didn’t come up with a solution to the problem.
