**Everything We Know About Toyota’s Upcoming Sports Car**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 05:29 PM*

Toyota has teased its highly anticipated upcoming sports car, signaling a major reveal event scheduled for Monday in Japan. The automaker shared intriguing teaser photos featuring a billboard at the iconic Fuji Speedway. The billboard showcases the front end of the new sports car positioned alongside legendary models like the LFA and the 2000GT. These images were posted on Toyota’s official page on X, sparking excitement among enthusiasts.

### Upcoming Event and Teaser Website

Toyota has also launched a teaser website hinting at a significant event where it will make several announcements spanning multiple brands, including GR, Crown, and Daihatsu. While the landing page does not disclose extensive details, it offers subtle clues. A prominent message reads:
*”The sign at Fuji Speedway has changed. On the left is the 2000GT. Next to it is the LFA. And next to that.?”*

This cryptic line hints at the unveiling of a new sports car that aims to stand alongside these iconic predecessors.

### Possible Reveal: GR GT3 and Lexus LFR

One of the focal points of Monday’s event could be the first official look at Toyota’s new GR GT3 race car. This vehicle serves as a precursor to the upcoming Lexus LFR race car. David Wilson, President of Toyota Racing, has previously indicated that this car will make its competitive debut at the 2026 Daytona 24 Hours in January.

Spotted prototypes of the GR GT3 are marked with yellow stickers, strongly suggesting the inclusion of a hybrid powertrain, which hints at Toyota’s ongoing commitment to blending performance with advanced technology.

### What to Expect Beyond the Sports Car

While much of the excitement revolves around the new sports car and race models, Toyota’s announcements are expected to cover a broader range of topics. With GR, Daihatsu, and Crown brands also featured, enthusiasts can anticipate additional updates and possibly new model introductions across these lineups.

Stay tuned on Monday for what promises to be a significant day in Toyota’s motorsport and performance vehicle story.

【コメ収穫予想】生産者、価格急落に警戒感 政局混乱、改革は視界不良

2025年産の主食用米の収穫量は、昨年から大幅な増産となる見通しです。需要を最大で約50万トン程度上回ると予測されており、これが市場にどのような影響を与えるのか注目されています。

取引価格を左右する民間の在庫量は、過去最大水準になることが見込まれています。店頭価格が下がれば、消費者にとっては朗報となる一方で、生産者の間では価格急落に対する警戒感が強まっています。

しかしながら、政局の混乱や改革の遅れにより、今後の展開は不透明な状況が続いています。具体的な政策の方向性や市場への影響については、現時点で視界が良好とは言えません。

Israeli spyware maker NSO acquired by US investment group

**Israeli Spyware Maker NSO Acquired by US Investment Group**

*By Akash Pandey | October 11, 2025, 10:59 AM*

—

A US investment group has acquired the Israeli spyware manufacturer NSO Group, the company notorious for creating the iPhone spyware Pegasus. This acquisition was confirmed by NSO spokesperson Oded Hershowitz, who told TechCrunch that “an American investment group has invested tens of millions of dollars in the company and has acquired controlling ownership.” However, Hershowitz did not reveal the exact amount or the identities of the investors involved.

### Deal Details: NSO’s Core Operations to Stay in Israel

The confirmation follows a report by Israeli tech news site Calcalist, which stated that a group led by Hollywood producer Robert Simonds had agreed to purchase the surveillance technology company for tens of millions of dollars.

Despite the change in ownership, Hershowitz assured that NSO Group’s headquarters and core operations will remain in Israel. The company will continue to operate under the supervision and regulation of relevant Israeli authorities.

### Major Leadership Change

As part of the acquisition deal, NSO’s co-founder and executive chairman Omri Lavie will step down from his role. This marks a significant leadership transition for the company. Neither Lavie, Simonds, nor Simonds’ Hollywood company STX Entertainment have publicly commented on this development yet.

### Controversies Surrounding NSO Group

NSO Group has been at the center of numerous controversies since its inception. Its spyware has been linked to targeting journalists, dissidents, and human rights defenders through government customers in several countries, including India, Mexico, Morocco, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

In 2021, the US Commerce Department banned American companies from trading with NSO after it was discovered that the company had targeted a dozen US government officials abroad.

### Concerns Over the Acquisition

John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at Citizen Lab who has spent over a decade investigating abuses of NSO’s spyware, expressed serious concerns regarding the acquisition. He questioned the trustworthiness of someone like Robert Simonds overseeing a company with such a controversial history.

“This dictator tech does not belong anywhere near Americans or our constitutionally protected rights or freedoms,” Scott-Railton stated.

The future of NSO under new American ownership remains to be closely watched, especially given the company’s troubled past and global impact on privacy and human rights.
