is an evolution of the car that it raced in the Nürburgring VLN series this season. 

The car is certified to race in the V3 class in the VLN for production-based cars. It has 200hp. TMG stiffened the car's chassis, changed the weight distribution, added a racing exhaust and modified the brakes and suspension. Prices start at €38,500 for the car without taxes. In Germany with VAT, it costs €48,815. 

“We want to share the passion of motorsport with as many people as possible and this car is the result. It is already race-proven having won the V3 class in the Nürburgring 24 Hours and we hope to see many more of these cars competing in the coming months. 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.

TMG is gauging demand for the car and considering a higher spec Cup version later. It is taking orders for the CS-V3 now.
