Featured Cars Introduction
GR Supra Race Car '19
The Supra returned after a 17-year hiatus, with this racing version competing at the Nürburgring in 2019.
After 17 long years, the beloved Supra made its return, first as the race-ready GR Supra. Toyota's flagship sports car was co-developed with BMW, borrowing among other things the BMW Z4's superb inline-6 engine.
The 2-seat sports car made its first appearance at the 2018 Nürburgring 24 hour race a year before its release along with the slogan: To make even better cars. It entered the SP8T class in 2019 after its release.
With Masahiro Sasaki, Uwe Kleen, Herwig Daenens, and Morizo at the wheel, the GR Supra started the final race at the Ring from 99th place, but steadily made its way up the field as the drivers avoided a number of accidents at the beginning of the race. Eight hours into the contest, the car was involved in a slight crash, but fortunately for Toyota, damage was minimal and the car went on to finish in a respectable 41st place overall, and 3rd in its class.
Its outing proved that the GR Supra was a true sports car with a genuine race car heart.
Subaru WRX Gr.4
The WRX STI continues its tradition of delivering potent 4WD performance.
While traditionally known as the Subaru Impreza WRX, the rally-inspired compact sports sedan became simply the Subaru WRX in the fall of 2013, but everything that made this model one of the most exciting machines in the world remained intact.
The WRX was built on the platform of the Levorg, a Japan-market-only station wagon. After seriously reinforcing the body structure, Subaru engineers went to work on the engine and chassis, putting much of their focus on the high-performance STI. They wanted to make sure that the WRX STI and the WRX S4 were completely different models, the former meant for the performance enthusiast, while the latter catered to grand touring fans. While the STI and S4 looked similar, everything from the engine to the steering mechanism was different.
For the STI, the engineers dropped the EJ20, a turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-4, into the engine bay. This powerplant produced 303.7 HP and 311.0 ft-lb of torque, routing the power to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox and Subaru’s excellent 4-wheel-drive system that featured a driver-controlled center differential. It was this 4WD system that made all WRX STIs so special. It included both an electronically-controlled and mechanical LSD—a Helical LSD controlled the front wheels, while a Torsen LSD was installed for the rear.
The WRX STI defined the “point and shoot” nature of compact sports cars of its day, thanks in part to its quick and precise hydraulic power steering system and custom-tuned suspension. On either road or dirt, the WRX STI had very few equals.
*This model was specially tuned to meet Gr.4 regulations by Gran Turismo.
MAZDA3 Gr.4
Exploring the potential of internal combustion, a next-generation bio-diesel-powered race car.
This MAZDA3 Gr.4 is a Gran Turismo original model, aesthetically based on the Super Taikyu-spec race car, called the MAZDA3 Bio concept.
The MAZDA3 Bio concept car is based on a next-generation biodiesel race machine created developed for real world testing in the 2023 Super Taikyu endurance race series.
It is essentially the successor to Mazda's Bio concept Demio/MAZDA2 Bio concept, which was in existence since 2021 that strived to blend carbon neutrality with the joy in driving. Both cars were entered in the ST-Q class, which is almost exclusively reserved for manufacturer development models.
For fuel, the car used 100-percent biodiesel made from used cooking oil. The engine comes in the form of a 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D unit.
The car body has also been extensively modified. To reduce weight, components such as the engine hood and roof employ hybrid materials, namely a mix of CFRP and natural fibers. Also, to improve aerodynamic performance, the front and rear fenders have been widened and new aero parts like the front spoiler, rear wing and side skirts have been fitted.
