January 29, 2015 – Toyota Motorsport has confirmed the final details of the rear-wheel-drive GT86 CS-R3 rally car, which will make its competitive debut this year.
The CS-R3 prototype was launched last August and since then has completed an extensive test programme to optimise design and define the final specification of the kit which will be delivered to private competitors and teams.
The GT86 CS-R3 is powered by a 1,998cc, 238-horsepower four-cylinder boxer engine mated to a six-speed sequential transmission that transfers power to the rear wheels.
Customer deliveries will start in May 2015. The CS-R3 kit, in either tarmac or gravel specification, costs €84,000 ($94,000), but customers who place their orders before 24 April 2015 will get a €5,000 discount.
The CS-R3 kit includes GT86 body shell, powertrain and all mechanical components required to build the car.
