Toyota’s 86 sports car is now available for racing after Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) launched the TMG GT86 CS-V3 for privateers. Following a successful development period, during which it won its class in the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the CS-V3 has been refined and packaged as an entry-level race car for easy maintenance and low running costs.
The RWD 200 hp race car has been developed specifically for the V3 class of the Nürburgring-based VLN series, and homologation from the Deutsche Motor Sport Bund allows entry into various production-based championships, where it will be “instantly competitive”, says TMG.
There’s no other mention of the powertrain, so it’s likely that the standard car’s 2.0 litre boxer four with 200 PS and 205 Nm has been carried over, along with the six-speed manual gearbox. TMG has stiffened the chassis and optimised weight distribution in addition to installing a racing exhaust system, suspension and brakes.
“We want to share the passion of motorsport with as many people as possible and this car is the result. The GT86 is a perfect car for production-based motorsport. It already looks fantastic and has superb handling, so with further performance and safety upgrades we have created a really exciting and competitive car which is extremely cost effective,” said TMG president Yoshiaki Kinoshita.
The TMG GT86 CS-V3 is priced at €38,500 (RM149,528) excluding tax or €45,815 (RM177,938) including German VAT. More serious privateers can look forward to a GT86 Cup car that’s currently under consideration by TMG.
The Toyota 86 was launched here in June. Read our test drive report here.

205Nm for a NA 2.0 is pretty standard. Not very impressive especially a sports car and other family cars already range between 190-200Nm.
the hp is impressive though.
the hp is not impressive at all, at least 250hp for race car
All go support Toyota more, see how big the price difference is between this and the GT86, even after tax the price still shouldn’t exceed 200k, see how much Toyota Malaysia profit from each GT86 sold.
all cars in malaysia are over priced…. Can you tell me which car is reasonably priced in bolehland…I hope wind of change is coming.
Remember if u remove the taxes there is still the issue of price fixing by miti..which all manufactures enjoy. To see the real price take japan price and convert to Malaysia. Note the price below includes country tax, Toyota profit margin and Free service & warranty cost.
Japan Yen (2,410,000 – 3,050,000)
(RM 94K – 119K)
UK Pounds (24,995 – 26,495)
(RM 121K 128K)
Aus Dollar(34,193 – 39,858)
(RM 104 – 122K)
US Dollar (24,955 – 26,055)
(RM 77K – 80K)
If you remove the taxes the car will cost between
RM 100K to 130K coupled with 5 year loan now tell me who can afford?. With 130K selling price with 10% down payment and let say 3% interest. Monthly installment will be RM 2,242. Now is it affordable?
So comes our next issue what is wrong with our currency?. Remember this car overseas can be bought by fresh grads!!!!.
