4. Lexus LC500 '17
"Toyota Gazoo Racing"
An LC500 that was snatched by Toyota Gazoo Racing right after it was fresh out of the assembly line. Boasting more power, stiffer springs, and less weight, Gazoo Racing were rather incoherent when asked about whether this version of Lexus' high-end luxury coupe is going to be available for sale. Soon after, rumors started spreading that this particular LC500 actually serves as a test mule, utilizing some of their high-performance racing components. Information is scarce, but it is said to have been fitted with, among other things, a simpler, experimental 7-speed dual-clutch racing transmission after Gazoo Racing engineers deemed that the stock 10-speed automatic transmission was too complex and not ideal for tuning.
*** Extra *** 7. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Safety Car "Police Interceptor"
Created as a response to the growing number of street racers not abiding the speed limits imposed on certain sections of the Autobahn, this specially-tuned AMG GT was commissioned by the Bundespolizei and is assigned only to the most skilled drivers in the police force. Featuring performance figures second only to hypercars such as the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918, the twin-turbo V8 engine has been tuned to produce impressive power levels, well in excess of 720 horsepower. Its 7-speed transmission has also been optimized to ensure maximum acceleration at any given gear, while still allowing the car to reach 200 miles per hour without bouncing off the redline. Coupled with a reworked suspension and tires specifically made for this car by Michelin, all these features gave the Bundespolizei an effective deterrent, able to intercept and apprehend tenacious, overly enthusiastic drivers who would show total disregard to the safety of other people.
*** Extra *** 8. Peugeot RCZ Gr.4
"Yellow Impact"
Based on the Peugeot RCZ Racing, this particular one-off model was commissioned by a VIP customer who wanted to see how far Peugeot can push a FWD car to its limits. Utilizing technology from their street and race cars, the end result is a formidable machine that, while at first may feature numbers that look completely typical for a racer, actually spell insanity when taken into account its drivetrain. The engine was taken from a factory-fresh RCZ R and tuned up to a terrifying 430hp, and the body was lightened ridiculously, just teetering at the 1000kg mark. To counteract the anticipated torque steer and undriveability that these specifications would pose, more tech was ripped off from the donor RCZ R such as the Torsen differential gear and reworked suspension, the latter of which its geometry has been further fine-tuned. As for downforce, the customer was adamant that the modifications to the body remain discreet, so the car made use of a very aggressive front diffuser rather than a set of overly large fenders or dive planes. All the engineering that went into the custom RCZ allow it to be a serious contender in time attacks, hill climb events and other sprint races.
Despite initial plans and successful tests, its reins were ultimately handed over to Emil Frey Racing in order for GR to develop the Supra Racing Concept.
