Toyota is nearly ready to commence deliveries of its 86-based grassroots rally car, with development of the GT86 CS-R3 now in its final stages ahead of FIA certification in June.

The CS-R3 is designed to compete in the R3C category of the World Rally Championship, where it will battle against other production-based two-wheel drive racecars with engines ranging in size from 1600cc to 2000cc.

Power from the GT86's 2.0 litre flat-four rises from the stock 147kW and 205Nm to 177kW and 230Nm, while the standard six-speed manual has been replaced by a Drenth six-speed sequential. 

Drive then goes to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential, with a number of differential ratios available to enable teams to tailor the car for specific stages.

Interestingly, the GT86's electric power steering has been turfed in favour of a traditional hydraulic system. The rack ratio has also been shortened to reduce the amount of wheel-twirling needed on tight rally stages.
