Toyota GT86 CS-R3

Overview

The CS-R3 adapted the GT86's front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout for FIA R3 competition. Its configuration offered a deliberately different customer option from the four-wheel-drive cars common in higher categories.

Technical Specs & Innovations

  • Engine: 2.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-four
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
  • Layout: Front-engine two-door coupe
  • Category: R3

🏆 Competitive Highlights

A prototype ran as the course-opening car at the 2014 Rally Germany to gather development data before final homologation. Customer competition followed from 2015; the model was not a factory World Rally Car.

Driving Characteristics

The GT86 CS-R3 was a rare modern homage to the golden era of RWD rallying. It gave a new generation of drivers and fans a taste of sideways rally action, standing as one of the most unique offerings in the FIA's 2010s rally landscape.
