Toyota US has announced that a hotter version of the Rav4 will be developed with the help of the Toyota Racing Development division.
The performance Rav4 would be inspired by the rally version we first saw last year, though it’s not yet clear how much of the rally car would be present in the actual production vehicle.
The rally car is 500kg lighter and features everything you expect on a racing machine, such as a roll cage, racing suspension and some serious rubber.
These features are unlikely in a production vehicle, but Toyota might just be able to extract a few extra horses from the 2,5-litre four-cylinder engine.
