refined and packaged as an entry-level race for easy maintenance, low running
cost and fun driving. The TMG GT86 CS-V3 was developed specifically for the V3

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.”
