Toyota World Rally team boss Tommi Makinen revealed their plans to develop Yaris R5 rally car for 2022.

Toyota is the only manufacturer from WRC circus that doesn't produce R5 cars.

R5 cars cost around 250 000€ and if they sell around 300 units, you can count the large of green they earn.

You can add the costs of rebuilding process which every customer has to pay and that's more money for the manufacturer.

I don't doubt that they will be successful. Their R3 car wasn't that successful but it is a rear wheel drive machine and you won't find lots of customers interested for that kind of program where it is almost impossible to win anything.
