GT86 CS-R3 RALLY CAR

The new rally car from Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) is ready to roll

TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH (TMG) is making great progress with its GT86 CS-R3 rear-wheel-drive rally car, with the first prototype car entering final assembly.

A clean sheet design

TMG engineers have been working hard since October 2013 to develop the CS-R3 concept as a clean sheet design.

Their engine design and development department has analysed the original two-litre boxer engine and is completing an upgrade programme intended to improve on the 200hp maximum power.

With the support of its supplier, TMG has also prepared a sequential shift, six-speed gearbox for the GT86 CS-R3. This, along with limited-slip differential and modified brakes, will be installed on the test prototype in the coming days.

An FIA-homologated safety cage has been specially designed and calculated, allowing weight optimisation, and this has been successfully installed.

Final assembly of the car will be completed shortly, and its first tests are planned this month with a scheduled launch to the public in the second half of August.
