Man, there's a crapload of conflicting information about these cars all over the internet. I'm trying to pin down the what's what on the three remaining 222D prototypes once and for all.
Question for LimeyMk1:
Was the black car with the red Toyota decal on the windscreen RWD with a 503E like it appears? After weeding out some obvious bullcrap, my research indicates that the white car in Japan is AWD and features a longitudinal 503E, the black car with the white Toyota decal (in Germany?) is RWD with a longitudinal 503E, and the black car with the red Toyota decal is RWD with a transverse 503E.
Some source claim one or more of the cars used a 4T-GTE, but I can't tell for sure from photographs if any of the remaining three cars are so equipped. There are rumors of a mysterious V6 powered prototype as well can anybody clarify whether this is BS or not? I also read somewhere that one prototype was FWD and crashed in testing. Sounds dubious ...
The archived info from WRCkits on the white car says the 222D was developed for Group B rallying, which makes sense since all the remaining prototypes wouldn't have met the alleged Group S regulations (which I'm trying to firm up, e-mailed the FIA today) that would've limited engine displacement for turbo/supercharged cars to 1.2-litres and required cars weigh in at no less than 1000kg the weight of the transverse AWD car reportedly reflected a mere 750kg. Maybe the AWD cars cracked the scales over 1000kg?
I e-mailed TMG in attempt to get the real info on these cars from the real source. We'll see if they get back to me.
