The Toyota GT-ONE Road Car (TS020) '98 is a road car specially produced by Toyota due to the GT1 regulations to enter the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans. It appears in Gran Turismo 2 and Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.
In-game description
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
This TS020 is the machine that Toyota prepared for victory when declaring Toyota's participation in the 1998[1] Le Mans 24 hour-race. This machine was produced by the TTE (Toyota Team Europe) led by Ove Anderson, and is loaded with a power unit based on the V8 Twin Turbo engine used in previous Group C races. This was combined with what could be called the ultimate GT machine body. And at the 1998[1] Le Mans, it achieved the miraculous by nearly succeeding in a debut win. In 1999,[2] the TS020 further evolved for its second attempt at Le Mans. The body created from a carbon fibre composite with dimensions of 4840mm length x 2000mm width x 1125mm height and a wheel base of 2800mm, had a larger cutout in the front fender and eliminated the rear fender louvers, and regulation changes decreased the tyres from 19 to 18 inches. The ABS has also been removed. The power unit is a 3.6 litre V8 twin turbo, modified from the 1998[1] R36V model to the current R36V-R. The maximum output exceeds 600PS, with 65,0kgm maximum torque. The transmission is a 6-speed sequential semi-automatic, like the F1, but due to regulations also has a mechanical shift lever. A Zaks 4-plate carbon clutch is adopted. The chassis is a single-molded fibre composite product, with a push-rod style double wishbone suspension installed. The brakes are a combination of carbon fibre ventilated discs with AP 6-pot calipers. The vehicle weight is only 900Kg. At the 1999[2] Le Mans championships, two out of three vehicles retired, but vehicle #3 handled by Ukyo[3] Katayama, Keiichi Tsuchiya, and Toshio Suzuki, three Japanese drivers, scored a magnificent second place.
Handling
- The game in which this car was tested is Gran Turismo 2.
In terms of acceleration and top speed, this car is the best road car available in the game. The already good performances of this car can be further improved with the possibility to tune this car (although the only tuning option available on this car is the possibility to add a turbo kit), making it a good choice for high speed circuits like the Test Course. In terms of stability, this car is quite good, but compared to their racing counterparts, this car steers less. However, this problem can be solved by putting racing tyres on this car. Overall, this car can be good in the hardest races of the game.
