94C-V · 1994–1994RWD

The final development of the bulletproof turbo-V8 Group C chassis, re-homologated into the LMP1/C90 class for the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans after the works Group C programme ended. It came agonisingly close to Toyota's first outright Le Mans win, finishing 2nd overall (one lap behind the Dauer 962) after a late gearbox problem, with a 1-2 in class.

STORY

Toyota's Group C program spanned the 1980s and early 1990s sports-prototype era, developing the C-V series of turbocharged endurance racers with Tom's and later TMG. The cars competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the World and Japanese sportscar championships, chasing Toyota's first overall Le Mans win. The effort culminated in the 3.5-litre TS010 before the category's demise.
