When Toyota realised that the Celica Twincam Turbo wasn't very competitive outside of Africa, Toyota Team Europe (TTE) started work on a new contender - a 600 horsepower Mk 1 MR2. The rally car was codenamed "222D" and was being developed for Group S and possibly Group B. A ground up tube chassis car was constructed. There were three produced, one with the engine mounted transversely with RWD, and two with the engine mounted longitudinally. One of these was RWD while the other was AWD using a custom gearbox manufactured by Xtrac. With 600+hp and AWD, the car resembled the MR2 in appearance only.
 
this car wouldnt have been able to compete with the MONSTERS that used to race in Group B.

La 222D était un prototype pour le Group S (limité à 300hp).

Il planifiais la rentrer en groupe B éventuellement. Ce qui avais été développé jusqu'à l'annulation on parle de:
Véhicule de 750kg (1700lbs)
Puissance: ~ 750hp (basé probablement sur un 503E)

Juste avec un CT26 sur le 503e pour leur véhicule de LeMans il développais 680hp. Même la Supra en JGTC utilisais le même moteur:
