When Toyota announced its plans to enter the 1998[1] Le Mans 24-hour auto race, it turned to its TS020 to achieve victory. This car, driven by Ove Anderson and the rest of Toyota Team Europe, had what could be considered the ultimate GT body, housing a twin-turbo V8 power unit previously used in Group C cars. in 1998[1], the TS020 came ever so close to the miracle of a debut win at Le Mans. The TS020 evolved even further for its second Le Mans challenge in 1999[2]. The carbon fiber composite body was modified for 1999[2]. More vents were added to the front fenders, the rear fender louvers were eliminated. The tire size was reduced from 19 to 18 inches due to a change in regulations, and the ABS was eliminated. The 3.6-liter twin-turbo model R36V V8 engine used in 1998[1] was also modified, and the named changed to the R36V-R, boosting maximum output to over 600 hp and the maximum torque to 470 lb-ft. The sequential 6-speed semi-automatic transmission also features a mechanical shift lever as requested by regulations. The clutch is a 4-plate unit made of carbon material. The monocoque chassis is made of carbon fiber composite and features push-rod double-wishbone suspension and carbon fiber ventilated disc brakes with 6-piston AP calipers. Vehicle weight is under 2,000 lbs. In the 1999[2] Le Mans finals, two of three cars retired, but the third, driven by Japanese drivers Kei'ichi Tsuchiya, Ukyo Katayama, and Toshio Suzuki, went on to place a respectable second.
