Anyone who's ever played Gran Turismo or is a serious car freak knows about this car and how INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS it is....Doesnt look too slow either! (I think specs are top speed-210, 0-60-3.3 secs..

So I was wondering why it hasn't got much attention?
Wouldn't Gran Turismo boost sales and awareness on this thing BIGTIME?
Does anyone know if they are even for sale, it seems like there is only one in existence?
I swear this is the most beautiful car ever made besides the McLaren F1LM..So does anyone know anything about it, so that when Im a millionare I can get one...

Honestly I'd just like to know more about it

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this just another dream car from the Playstation generation just like the skyline.

Yes, its a limited production car, but like most cars of this price... any other car company can put something together that can be just as fast or faster.

Saleen, Ariel Atoms, Zondas.... TVR if you even consider.... Caterhams...

the list goes on.... yeah people that consider this car would want to have a car that is unique... and wouldn't want a run of the mill P car or Ferrari/Lambo...

What I guess I'm trying to say is, nothing that is so rare and only has a following to just the owners is what I consider a "want" for me. I'd like to be able to get service for a vehicle that is remotely affordable if I needed it to be.

If I had the money to "toy" around in these rare cars and pay $$$$ to have people work on them in the first place... I would probably have so much money that I would get into flying instead of racing cars.... but again... I'm getting off subject and should have just shut up and never posted

^ya true, but you just rarely see one that looks this good..Who the hell wants to drive an Ariel Atom or a caterham anywhere but the track. And Saleen? Zonda? those are priced way above this..

Don't think it was ever exported from Japan. They only made a handful.

It looks like they took pieces of four different cars' interiors and glued them together

This car was built 8 years ago. I dont think they ever made even one single customer car. They did build their own car and produce it in limited quantities. It's called the ZZ, basically its a japanese Lotus S1 Elise knock-off using a Nissan SR20DE engine.
