Featured Cars Introduction

Lexus RC F GT3 '17

Emil Frey Racing was one of the first teams to compete with a GT3 version of the Lexus RC F.

While Lexus ran an RC F-based race car for the VLN and Super GT Series in 2015, it was allowed to compete with this particular car without

having to adhere to homologation requirements. The RC F GT3 Prototype made its debut in Round 9 of the VLN series and won the SPX class, which allowed specially permitted entries.

This prototype race car was developed with the intent of eventually providing a GT3 machine to race teams around the world. Starting out as an RC F, the entire car was altered dramatically to ensure competitiveness and reliability in GT3 races. Weight was significantly reduced and the body drastically stiffened; the front and rear fenders were swapped to improve aerodynamics; and power from the 5.0-liter V-8 engine was increased to 532.5 HP. Ultimately, the car was homologated and introduced as the Lexus RC F GT3 in 2017.

The following year, the new race car was delivered to Emil Frey Racing in Switzerland, which took part in the development of the RC F GT3. Participating in the GT Open Championship of Europe, the team won four of 14 races and placed 3rd for the season.

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, it was one of the top teams in its class with some incredible performances on track. However, in the fall of 2020, the second-generation BRZ premiered in North America, which meant that a brand-new race machine was developed for 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.

The already aerodynamically superior second-generation BRZ were further improved by adding details developed from the previous model. The car's cornering characteristics were also enhanced through an overhaul of the weight distribution that included changing the position of the third damper.

Takuto Iguchi and Hideki Yamauchi both continued their roles as the drivers for 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 introduced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Based on Mazda’s "Kodo - Soul of Motion" design theme, the car represented Mazda's attempt to create the most beautiful FR sports car in the company's history. It came powered by the next-generation rotary engine called "SKYACTIV-R."

Back in 1967, Mazda overcame numerous obstacles to produce the first commercial rotary engine in history. It powered the Cosmo Sport and then was fitted to a number of other Mazda cars, including the RX-7, and even those that raced. In 1991, the four-rotor Mazda 787B became the first Japanese car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans

The MAZDA RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT expresses the design beauty of form following function in a race machine. To meet the performance requirements of the Gr.3 category, the design was inspired by the 787B, specifically the 4-rotor powerplant, now equipped with SKYACTIV technology. This new rotary engine was mounted in a lightweight body to achieve unprecedented performance.

Honda NSX Gr.3

Acura's popular exotic sports car returns after a 10-year hiatus.

The Acura NSX became an icon after only several years on the market, and although it was gone in 2005, it was hardly forgotten. To the delight of performance-car enthusiasts everywhere, Honda introduced a concept of a second-generation car in 2012, and then gave us a production version of it at the 2015 North American International Auto Show.

The new NSX came in the form of a mid-engine supercar that combined aluminum, high tensile steel and other advanced materials in the chassis, covered by a lightweight carbon-fiber body. The engine, mounted behind the cockpit, came in the form of a twin-turbo V-6 with a dry sump, mated to 9-speed dual-clutch transmission with a built-in motor. There were also electric motors powering the front wheels to make the new NSX an all-wheel-drive machine. The AWD system, called the Sports Hybrid SH-AWD, allows torque vectoring that controls deceleration as well as drive force, enhancing the car’s ability to corner.

The NSX also featured an Integrated Dynamic System that possessed four modes—the lowest one allowed driving with electric power alone at low speeds, while the highest one combined the gasoline engine and electric motors to provide the highest performance, intended for use on the racetrack.

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

Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 '18

This racing spec version of the GT-R was created for GT3 category competition.

The Nissan GT-R GT3, based on the road-going R35 GT-R, was a familiar presence in the FIA's GT3 class. When the race car was introduced in 2012, it came powered by the same twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 as in the production model, with the output of the engine rated well above 493.1 HP.

A new version of the race car appeared in 2015 with a stiffer body structure and going by a new name: the Nismo GT3. In 2018, a dry sump oil system was incorporated to allow the powerplant to sit lower in the engine bay by 5.9 inches, giving the car a better overall center of gravity. It was also moved aft by 5.9 inches to optimize front and rear weight distribution.

The radiators and intercoolers were repositioned to provide enhanced airflow and better engine cooling. By redirecting how the air flowed over the body, the Nismo GT3 possessed improved body stability, while a stiffer front body rigidity and retuned suspension system improved handling.
