From press release
The rally version of Toyota's GT86/Scion FR-S sports car is almost ready for its competition debut. 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. Fans will be able to see it flesh for the first time at the Rally Niedersachsen near Hanover on 4 July, the first round of the new HJS TMG CS-R3 Trophy. Eventually though, the CS-R3 will be eligible for national and international rallies, up to and including the World Rally Championship.
But the car has already proved immensely popular thanks to its rear-wheel drive powertrain, with 1,998cc, 238hp boxer engine and six-speed sequential transmission which combine to produce a spectacular driving experience. The kit, in either tarmac or gravel specification, costs around €80,000, and includes a body shell, a powertrain and all mechanical components required to build the car. Recent Articles
