Small story in MN today with Tommi quotes on a Toyota R5. Basically Tommi says they'd like to do it, he reckons Toyota would be on board too - but there currently isn't a suitable engine in the Toyota stable that lends itself to an R5, given the tighter restrictions on engine modifications.
With no change in the engine range seemingly on the horizon, it looks like the project is not getting off the ground any time soon. Which is a shame, as I think it was widely assumed this was happening.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Here You go with the calling for return of gr.A... Even the biggest car manufacturer in the world doesn't produce anything suitable for making an R5 engine. That's why it's very often easier for manufacturers to build rally cars completely from scratch than to be bound by using stock components.

Regarding the engine for Toyota. I thought even Skoda used quite different engine (like 1,8 TSI for chinese market only, or something like that because I don´t remember well...EDIT: I am right:"They chose the 1.8-liter, 123 kW EA 888 engine, produced in Shanghai, China" ) as base engine for R5. ...Don´t tell me Toyota doesn´t have anything like that anywhere in the world.
