Question Box Digest Part 7-2 -Wolf of the Circuit-

I'm Maezawa.
Speaking of luxury cars, supercars
And the supercar was also recognized by the general public of the supercar boom.

I feel like I'm getting off the topic of the question box, but it's just barely connected...

The spark of the supercar boom is the "Circuit Wolf"
Actually, in Ibaraki PrefectureCircuit Wolf MuseumThere may be

 

Since the announcement of the closure (due to corona measures) in February, there has been no new announcement, so I'm worried about what's going on.
The cars that appeared in the circuit wolf are on display, so you can feel nostalgic if you are from that generation.

I feel like I'm not suitable for a date (laughs)

By the way, when I went there before, the people over there seemed to be free and talked to me, so it's pretty friendly and feels like home. (smile)

This car didn't appear in Circuit Wolf, did it?
When I thought about it,

Would you like to buy it?I was told
No, I don't have the money to buy a supercar.
It was like, but car lovers know car lovers.

Or rather, it's a place where only car enthusiasts come, so if you say you don't understand anything, that's right. (smile)

By the way, the main character rides, Lotus Europe Special.
Looking at the real thing, the vehicle height is too low, is it so small?I think.
The car built by Lotus Chapman is called a handling machine.
Said to be the best handling
I think it's a good idea to be part of a supercar with this low-powered engine, but it's definitely a supercar.

By the way, the ★ mark on the red belt is the shot down mark.
If you fight and win, the stars will increase. (smile)

 

It was also said that the handling was excellent
Dino 246 GT
Even though it was made by Ferrari, it doesn't seem to be allowed to call it Ferrari.
Dino is the name of Enzo Ferrari's son.

Loaded with this Ferrari Dino engine
A supercar designed by the same designer as the Countach
That's the Lancia Stratos.

It seems that Lancia cars are still respected in Italy.
No matter how you look at it, it's a normal car, but when I went to Italy, I rented a car and drove around.
There was no power, no speed, and I wondered why I could see it, but I wondered if the Lancia brand was amazing locally.

Lancia Delta (3rd generation)

↑ Not a very attention-grabbing design, just a normal car.
Moreover, it wasn't fast, and compared to Japanese cars, it lacked power, so it felt a little slow.However, it is enough for running in the range up to about 130km / h

 

Porsche Carrera RS2.7

This Porsche seems to be popular even now, but it seems that Porsche is the only supercar that is hard to break, and it feels like it is treated differently.

Another legendary Lamborghini Miura

Lamborghini is basically Bertone design, but only this car is said to be Pininfarina design, which was in charge of Ferrari's design.
It was a rare car that has never appeared since then, with a Lamborghini and Ferrari-like design. (Iota is a friend of Miura (laughs))

Domestic car Toyota 2000GT

At that time, there was a big difference in technical skills between foreign cars and Japanese cars, and Japanese cars could barely exceed 100km/h (this is a little exaggerated).
This Toyota 2000GT is a famous Japanese car that was created with all of Toyota's technology in an effort to create a car that can compete with foreign cars.

Toyota's technology alone was not enough, so the engine is made by Yamaha.When it comes to producing power, you can see from Honda that motorcycle manufacturers were better at it.

Even so, Toyota recently released the Lexus LF-A
It's sad that they make great cars in some places, but other than that, they only make boring cars that prioritize profits.

I think that it has become boring with only old cars,

After the wolves of the circuit, much later

"Yoroshiku Mecha Dog" became popular (I think that Honda City Turbo attracted attention at this time)

After a long time, "initial D" became popular again.
(At this time, Toyota Trueno (AE86) attracted attention.)

And while writing, apart from the manga, what about that car?
There is also a car that I thought like.

SUZUKI SPORT・TWIN ENGINE・CULTUS TYPE2

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is held on the tourist road of Pikes Peak, Colorado, USA.
There was a race called
To win there, we will 4WD the Suzuki Cultus. (original car is FF)

Normally, when you switch to 4WD, the power is transmitted to the rear wheels through the shaft, but this car is made with the amazing idea of ​​putting an engine in the rear and having two engines. increase.
With two 450-horsepower engines in this small car, you'll be able to experience extraordinary acceleration.

By the way, currently
The "1995 Twin Engine Escudo" has been preserved as a reference vehicle at the Tajima Fukuroi International Next Generation Automobile Center.
The "1993 Twin Engine Cultus" was donated to the Colorado Springs Museum of Penrose History and has been permanently preserved there.

 

In February 2005, the NSX Type R-GT was released as a Super GT homologation model with a limited number of 2 units for 5 million yen.

Although it was limited to 5 units, it seems that only 1 unit was made.
The only person in the world who bought it was Mr. Yoshiaki Yoshida, the chairman of DHC Co., Ltd., which is famous for mail-order cosmetics and health foods.

"GT1", the proof of car No. 001

Talking about old cars...

It's not very funny...lol

The story didn't progress until Mr. Dorikin Tsuchiya appeared (laughs)
(I wanted to write that the Supra's 50:50 front/rear weight distribution is a phony (same as putting weights on it), so it's a race... (laughs))

If there is time to write a continuation, even then (laughs)

PS Dorikin is an abbreviation of Drift King, a person who can handle a car freely.
