**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.

‘Bigg Boss 19’: Salman schools Neelam, calls her ‘weak competitor’

**‘Bigg Boss 19’: Salman Khan Schools Neelam Giri, Calls Her a ‘Weak Competitor’**

*By Isha Sharma | October 11, 2025, 02:21 PM*

In the latest promo for **Bigg Boss 19’s Weekend Ka Vaar**, host Salman Khan confronted contestant Neelam Giri over her refusal to cook following a disagreement with fellow housemate Gaurav Khanna.

### The Incident

During a recent task, Gaurav Khanna made a comment about Neelam only cooking and not contributing in other ways to the game. Although Khanna later clarified that his remark was part of the task, Neelam decided to give up on her cooking duty altogether, refusing to continue.

### The Confrontation

In the promo, Salman asked Neelam, *“Playground wale task mein karna kya tha?”* (What were you supposed to do in the playground task?), to which she replied, *“Bura bura bolna tha.”* (We had to say bad things.)

Salman then questioned why she was taking out her anger on everyone else for something Khanna said as part of the task. Neelam responded that she simply didn’t feel like cooking after that incident.

### Salman’s Criticism: A ‘Weak Competitor’

Salman didn’t hold back and criticized Neelam sharply for not clearly voicing her opinions in the house. He labeled her a “weak competitor,” saying:

*“Iss ghar mein aapka jo opinion hai, woh saamne aata hi nahi hai. Sach kadwa hota hai. Ki aap ek aisi weak competitor ho, ki inko aapse koi khatra nahi hai.”*

(“This is exactly the problem, Neelam. In this house, your opinions never come forward. The truth is bitter. You are such a weak competitor that no one here sees you as a threat.”)

### Fans React on Social Media

The promo has sparked reactions among fans, many of whom support Salman Khan’s stance. One viewer commented, “Salman Khan is right,” while another wrote, “Thank God he raised this issue.”

Others urged fellow contestants to take notice, with a fan saying, “Tell Amaal and Shehbaz also, they were supporting Neelam. Gaurav was right.”

Meanwhile, Neelam Giri finds herself among the contestants nominated for eviction this week.

Stay tuned for more updates from *Bigg Boss 19* as the drama unfolds.

WhatsApp now lets you choose photo and video download quality

**WhatsApp Now Lets You Choose Photo and Video Download Quality**

*By Akash Pandey | Oct 11, 2025, 01:52 PM*

WhatsApp has started rolling out a new feature in its latest beta update for iOS, version 25.29.10.71, released through the TestFlight beta program. This update introduces an important addition: the ability to choose the quality of downloaded photos and videos.

Currently available to select beta testers, this feature is expected to reach more users in the coming weeks, enhancing how media is managed on the platform.

### More Control Over Media Downloads

The new feature empowers users to take control of their media experience by allowing them to select the quality at which incoming photos and videos are automatically downloaded. Depending on individual needs or network conditions, users can now balance between data efficiency and visual fidelity.

This update highlights WhatsApp’s commitment to optimizing media management, offering more flexibility when it comes to balancing storage usage, data consumption, and viewing quality.

### How to Enable the Feature

To access this new option, navigate to the **Storage and Data** section in WhatsApp’s app settings. Once activated, a new **Auto-download quality** setting appears, allowing users to choose how incoming photos and videos are downloaded and managed.

Within this menu, you can select between two options:
– **Standard Quality**
– **HD Quality**

### How It Works

When a sender uploads an HD photo or video, WhatsApp creates and uploads both a standard and an HD version of the media file. Due to end-to-end encryption, the app cannot compress or modify files directly on its servers. Therefore, both versions are uploaded by the sender.

The recipient’s app then automatically downloads the version that corresponds with their chosen quality setting. This dual-version system maintains user privacy without sacrificing flexibility in media quality.

### File Size Display for Media

WhatsApp is also introducing a feature that displays the file size of shared photos and videos within the chat screen. When both standard and HD versions of a media file exist in a conversation, tapping the HD icon brings up an overview showing the exact size—in megabytes—of each version.

This convenient addition makes it easier for users to compare data usage and resolution of media files after sending or receiving them.

With this update, WhatsApp continues to enhance user experience by giving more control over how media is consumed, balancing quality and data efficiency seamlessly. Keep an eye out as this feature rolls out to more users in the near future.
