"Toyota is jumping back into the hairy world of rally racing by bringing a rear-wheel-drive mud-slinger to the party. Meet the Toyota Motorsport GmbH GT86 CS-R3. (The CS-V3, pictured above, is the street version of the yet-to-be-produced R3.). Yes, we are getting a rally car based on one of the best RWD cars on sale today. Feel free to send lots of lovely fan mail to Mr. Akio Toyoda. The car is under development with Toyota Motorsport GmbH, the team that developed the GT86 CS-V3 track car and the TS030 Hybrid endurance racer. The car is being built for the R3 class, and will be sold to privateer teams. If you worry about the lack of AWD hindering the performance, don&amp;#039;t. The WRC 3 rule set, in which the R1, R2 and R3 classes fall, requires that all cars be driven by just one pair of wheels. There is no AWD witchcraft here. There isn&amp;#039;t much solid info on the new CS-R3, but if pricing sticks close to what TMG charges for the CS-V3 road racer, expect the new rally machine to start around $50k. TMG expects to have the cars ready for sale in time to start the 2015 season. PHOTOS: Lexus RC Coupe "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
