Toyota Motorsport GmbH has announced that the rear-wheel drive GT86 CS-R3 rally car will make its competitive debut this year.

Toyota Motorsport GmbH has confirmed the final details of the rear-wheel drive GT86 CS-R3 rally car, which will make its competitive debut this year.

Detailed development has generated improved performance on both gravel and tarmac, while reliability and durability have also been prioritised

The CS-R3 prototype was launched last August and since then has completed an extensive test programme to optimise design and define the final specifications of the kit which will be delivered to private competitors and teams.

The CS-R3 has already proved immensely popular thanks to its rear-wheel drive powertrain, with a 2.0-litre 235bhp Boxer engine and a six-speed sequential transmission which combine to produce a spectacular driving experience.

The first cars will be delivered to customers in May, later than originally forecast, to allow improvements highlighted during testing to be implemented. As a consequence TMG has extended its introductory discount.

The CS-R3 kit, in either tarmac or gravel specification, costs €79,000 (S$119,039) (excluding VAT) for orders made before 24^th April 2015, representing a €5,000 (S$7,534) discount on the standard retail price of €84,000 (S$126,573) (excluding VAT). The CS-R3 kit includes the GT86 body shell, powertrain and all mechanical components required to build the car.
