Dubbed GT86 CS-V3, the car is aimed at private racers on a tight budget who are seeking a low-maintenance race car. It was designed to compete in the V3 class of Germany's VLN series but it will likely be approved for use in other race series throughout Europe in the coming months.
The GT86's interior has been stripped of all its unnecessary accessories in order to keep the weight down to a minimum. An OMP bucket seat for the driver and a full roll cage both come standard.
Toyota Motorsports has not made any modifications to the engine so it has maximum power output of 200 horsepower and 151 lb-ft. of torque. The sprint from zero to 62 mph takes about seven seconds and top speed is reached at 140 miles per hour.
Available now, the GT86 CS-V3 carries a base price of €38,500 (roughly $47,800) excluding tax. Toyota Motorsports has not indicated whether or not a similarly-outfitted Scion FR-S will be offered in the United States.
The CS-V3 signals the arrival of a slew of race-ready GT86s over the coming years. What to expect next is up in the air, though Toyota is considering launching a GT86 Cup car.
