Featured Cars Introduction

Lexus RC F GT3 '17

The GT3 machine used by Emil Frey Racing, one of the first teams to adopt the Lexus RC F.

Lexus had been running a RC F based machine in the VLN series and the Super GT series since 2015, but this was as a specially allowed vehicle with no homologation. They used this experience to move forward with their development, and entered the RC F GT3 prototype in round 9 of the 2016 Fall VLN series. Here they successfully won the SPX class for specially permitted cars.

The prototype was developed with the intent of eventually delivering a GT machine to GT3 race teams around the world, so it was to be controllable for even amateur racers, and provide reliable performance with reinforced components. By changing designs through thorough durability calculations for every component, weight was reduced while securing rigidity. The design of various parts including the front and rear fenders was also changed to further improve aerodynamic performance. The engine is a 5 litre DOHC V8 of the production model tuned to over 532.5 BHP. This car acquired homologation, and debuted as the Lexus RC F GT3 in 2017.

In the following year of 2017, the car was also provided to Emil Frey Racing of Switzerland, who were a part of the development team for the RC F GT3 machine. Participating in the GT Open Championship of Europe, they won 4 races out of 14, and placed 3rd in the season team rankings.

Subaru BRZ GT300 '21

Cornering better than ever before. A BRZ for the Super GT.

Subaru began competing with the original BRZ in the GT300 class of the Super GT series in 2012. In 2016, they were one of the top teams with some incredible performances on track. However, in autumn 2020, the 2nd generation BRZ premiered in North America, and later introduced in Japan in 2021, so a brand new machine was developed from the new model to race in the 2021 season.

As with the previous model, the engine was developed by STi and the body by R&D Sports. The vehicle as a whole was developed as an orthodox evolution of the previous model, carrying over many elements such as the basic structure and EJ20 engine.

Though based on the already aerodynamically superior 2nd generation BRZ, the body aerodynamics were further improved by adding details developed from the previous model. The car's cornering characteristics have also been improved through an overhaul of the weight distribution which included changing the position of the third damper.

Drivers Takuto Iguchi and Hideki Yamauchi both continued their roles in the new model for the 2021 season. The new BRZ showed incredible potential from the start, taking pole position in 4 of the 8 races for a glorious champtionship victory. Subaru had been competing in domestic GT racing since the 1997 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, but this was their first such achievement.

MAZDA RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT

Mazda's dream rotary race car.

The MAZDA RX-VISION is a concept car announced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Based on Mazda’s 'Kodo - Soul of Motion' design theme, this was a challenge to create the most beautiful FR sportscar that Mazda could come up with. This car is also powered by the next generation rotary engine 'SKYACTIV-R', a dream that Mazda wants to bring to life in the future.

Overcoming numerous technical difficulties, Mazda successfully introduced a commercial rotary engine through the Cosmo Sport back in 1967. Thereafter as the only manufacturer to mass produce rotary engines, they worked to improve output, fuel economy, and durability, and even took the overall victory in the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance Race in their 787B.

The MAZDA RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT expresses the design beauty of the base car in the form of a more aggressive race car. To meet the performance requirements of the Gr.3 category, the design draws from the 787B engine concept, with a 4 rotor engine brought back to life using SKYACTIV technology. This new rotary engine is mounted in a lightweight body to achieve unprecedented performance.

Honda NSX Gr.3

Making its appearance 25 years on from the first generation model, the new dimension in sports cars with SH-AWD.

Production of the first NSX ended in 2005, but the 2nd generation NSX appeared as a concept car in 2012. Exactly 3 years later at the 2015 Detroit show, the production car was officially revealed.

The second generation Honda NSX, also known for being a part of the Acura brand in the US, is a mid-engine supercar. It combines aluminium, high tensile steel and other advanced materials of its day with a light-weight body using carbon fibre and other composite materials, as well as an all-aluminium independent suspension.

The engine mounted behind the cockpit is a twin turbo V6 with a dry sump, which is combined with a 9-speed dual clutch transmission with a built-in motor. This is further combined with motors in both the left and right front wheels to complete an electric 4WD system. Named the Sports Hybrid SH-AWD, the system allows torque vectoring which can control deceleration as well as drive force, boosting the ability of the car to trace racing lines while cornering in all speed ranges.

The car is also equipped with an Integrated Dynamic System, which includes 4 modes that allow driving with electric power alone at low speeds, up to a mode that reveals extreme power performance on the circuit.

*This model was specially tuned to meet Gr. 3 regulations by Gran Turismo.

Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 '18

A racing spec version of the GT-R for GT3 category competition.

The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 is an FIA GT3 regulation production race car developed by Nismo based on Nissan's R35 model GT-R.

A GT3 version of the GT-R had been available to customers since 2012, but from 2015 the base model changed to the GT-R Nismo which featured improved body rigidity. The 2018 model changed to a dry sump allowing the engine to be placed approx. 150 mm lower in the engine bay to lower the centre of gravity and 150 mm further back to optimise weight distribution.

Front body rigidity was also improved and the suspension and members for both the front and rear were redesigned to provide accurate body feedback.

The layout of the engine bay also received improvements with the radiators and intercoolers repositioned to provide better airflow and better cooling as a result. By refining airflow, they also succeeded in improving body stability on high speed sections.
