Music: Street Fighter lll - Gill's Theme (Looped)

This TS020 is the machine that Toyota prepared for victory when declaring Toyota's participation in the 1998 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 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 was also modified, and the named changed to the R36V-R, boosting maximum output to over 600 BHP 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 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.
