Toyota pod Concept 2001

[tankuroded]

The little concept car that everyone missed, from Gran Turismo Concept.

I remembered seeing that car in some GT screenshots, but could never work out why I couldn't find it on GT4. Then I realised that it was on the Concept game.

(There is another car that was supposedly on GT4 that was in a screenshot that I could never find - a Tommy Makkinen liveried red and white Evo VII rally car...)

Have this along with the event it was in GT Tokyo as a coffee break

I remember that event, it was in a special track based in Special Stage, it kind of looked like a kidney and the start/finish line had a huge crest.

Where's the steering wheel ?



0 - 100 km/h = 7.4 secs
Top Speed = Not Tested

I think it was the Lancer Evolution VII Rally Car 2001, which was in GT Concept. Or the concept Lancer Evolution VII Rally Car from GT3.

You move the car with a stick on the driver's left side.

Awesome car, i got so disapointed after knowing that car wouldn´t be in GT4 and all of the GT´s after that 1... I´ve searched for it for ages in GT5, getting to know then, that it wasn´t in the game...

The best feature for a car ever.

If this car gets remodeled, then online podracing pod racing is really going to take off!

No problem. I was dissapointed about that Lancer not being in GT4/5/6. I miss the car too. I raced quite a lot with it at Swiss Alps. I miss pod too. Such a cute car. I got terribly sad that it wasn't in GT4. But I played the pod race around 100 times and never got bored.

 

[Harsk100]

I want POD on GT6! I wanted to buy GT Concept 2002, but I couldn't....

 

[MrUnknown]

I want that doggeh car back, PD....

Found some more additional information

The 1,500cc, 1.5 Litre double overhead cam (DOHC), 16 valve 4 Cylinder engine (1NZ-FE) produces no less than 130 BHP at 3,400 rpm. The pod transfers this power to the wheels via a 5 speed Automatic Transmission connected to Toyota's front wheel drive system. this car is capable of 0-100 km/h in 7.4 secs and a top speed of 165 km/h +

The 1NZ-FE engine produces 430 Nm of torque, this torque is transferred to the road on a pair of 215/60-R16 profile wheels.

Found how they control the car also

I thought that was some sort of cup holder or... Something to store drinks or food.

The definitive incarnation of the ideal of the cute key-car... Only, it isn't a keycar because it has a 130 hp engine and it does the 0-100 faster than a NA MX-5.

All of this while wagging its tail and emitting cute sounds.

 

[StigBelcherStyl]

Fun car great to play around with, but PD Don't forget it's Small famous track.

 

[Pootis]

This would be fun to drive. There's a 🤬 of Toyota's in GT and they removed this?

It's so "cute"...
Well Except for those beeps sounds that's creeping me out when i was young...

I remember it's wagging tail! The dedicated POD race in GT Concept was pretty cool.

As this is this week's Wednesday Want car, I've replaced some of the broken images from the first post, @tankuroded.

 

[ZEROTHEKNIGHT]

Man ... that car was like a cute puppy version of a robo-car X)
It's like it fits to be a sort of an anime taxi service car for family & especially the kids will just get close to it to hug the car XD
