Record Breaker Carbon Fiber Evo: The Legendary HKS CT230R
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Back in 2006, time attack records were a hot ticket among Japan’s tuning houses - proving their mettle at the seemingly simple, but unforgiving Tsukuba Circuit. To the point where they began building cars with one single goal - to beat the Tsukuba time attack record. So when HKS showed up to party, they didn’t f around. They build this: the carbon fiber clad CT230r Evo. After a few “evolutions” (lol), the car set a time of 55 seconds around the track - a record that would take years to beat. That’s impressive, especially considering that this thing has such limited aero compared to modern day time attack beasts.

The English accent caught me off guard.The car is badass!Legendary.
TheRealChino40 they m6st brought him over from uk lol
@@lukejenkins9341 for reals 😂😂😂
This HKS representative English accent is so good he could star in a Harry Potter movie.
Dude I thought it was weird to.. I was so waiting to see japineese subtitles come up or at least having a Japanese accent..
@@trevaunphillips8848 i was expecting the usual japanese english accents also though... When he speaks boy he surprised me lol
Now we need the infamous HKS TRB-01.
Edit: As an Altezza RS200 owner, I'd love to see it. Videos and photos are rare as can be.
yes! yes! finally see someone mentions that car! the first I see it on video, i thought HKS brought a GT500 race car to do time attack
Couldn't agreed more, we need TRB-01 video!
@@hydejekyll9950 wait,the TRB-01 is the famous hks time attack alteza ??? :O was actually wondering what happened to it.
@@jkk20 yeap TRB-01 Altezza lapped Tsukuba 55.8 seconds back in 2001. At that time TRB-01 was deemed too over the top by the organizers, for what was then considered to be a time attack car. The record was stripped shortly after that. 😒
@@hydejekyll9950 oh right.. yeah,i remember the car way back from a superstreet article.
this car is a real legend, there's barely anything of this car on the internet, and yet it was the last manual transmission monster, this car was insane.
I had the trifold poster from an old issue of Super Street of the TRB-01 Altezza on my walls for years. Loved that car.
Thanks hoonigan y’all really been killing the game lately!!!!!!
i miss the old "red" livery, but this and the old cyber evo influenced a ton of modern evo builds. nice work #LARRYCHENFOTO 🤙
Crazy to think how fast it is without modern tyre technology, very little aero and relatively low power. Im sure its still easily within the top 10 fastest at Tsukuba even after all these years
Full carbon was best.
This is exactly how I'm building my Evo!
I loved this car in both gran turismk 5 and 6, it was a blast to drive in 24 min of nurburgring in first person
Jordi Gerards I think FORZA 2 as well if I’m not mistaken 🤔 Most don’t recognize it without the red livery
@@Rch_P Horizon Or Motorsport?
Motorsport
I seen this car in person when it was in its red form at buttonwillow raceway park when it shattered the record there I never heard a car sound as good as this one, mindblowing how nice it sounded and performed.
All those baller parts and it still uses the stock shift knob \m/ I'll never forget watching Taniguchi bang thru the straight cut gears on that Tsukuba record setting run.
Wow Masaya truly knows his HKS products. Great ambassador for HKS no doubt. Great interview by Larry !
I prefer the red colour original car over all the graphics as you can really see the body shape much better. I love the shape of this car. Awesome.
One of my favourite cars from Gran Turismo on playstation👌🇯🇵
Legendary car. Thank you
It’s still an evo 8 front end actually, just has what we call “nose chop” on it
Happiness achieved, was waiting for Larry's next clip !!
I think I smell another best motoring special coming!! Back to red and get NOB at the wheel with new tires!
That car is as legendary as it gets. And nob is very much apart of that. Like ying and yang. Cant have 1 without the other
Much thanks for this Larry! Cyber Evo, and sierra sierra!
While I have always liked carbon fiber, when I first saw this car in a Modified Mag and on the internet I fell in love with carbon fiber. All carbon everything!
I always drool when I see a good looking evo. Wow
This Evo is one of the GOATs and built like a GT car. Just by changing the tyres to A050s, it will be probably be close to 2 seconds a lap quicker (potentially putting it in the 51 second range).
Great communication from the interviewee. Talent.
Great video guys, a very cool car with a heap of history. thanks for sharing!
such a beauTy.drove this in GT soo much ,its a piece of history for Tsukuba time attack.record for 5years hm👌🤙💪❤
with updated parts and technology. this car will definitely make a new record
I like the widebody kit
Amazing car and Masaya is a good bloke
That beat at the start 🔥🔥
Usually a stockbody or die type of guy
But this evo just looks so good with that kit
Holy snit! They still have the stock coils on the car!
Man the hks v cam is so cool I miss the red for sure!
We need these guys back in rally man.
I wonder how much faster this car could be if they rebuilt it with current parts and what they have learned from the TRB-03.
Bring back the old color!
I miss my Evo 8 😭
Me too! HKS 3037s, 280 cams...530 with meth.
Better to have owned one then never have had one 😉
Tom Wagemans 👍🏻
And this record break by the infamous black silvia. But this still legend because using s tyre to break the holy record at tsukuba.
Love the videos guys. Where are you guys sourcing the music from?
i thought the pictures where of a RC car because of some of the angles
I like the red form the best.
This is the best evo in existence
I always wondered where this Evo went now I know says it weighs 1060 kg that's around what 2200 pounds that incredibly light
2330 lbs
2330 lbs
The black car actually was disqualified in its first form. They had to modify it to fall under the regulations.
*more GOD KING CHEN,MORE HKS,MORE HAF!!*
53.589 seconds was the best record of this car in Tsukuba
They need to bring it back and claim the Tsukuba record again

Michael Bellamy I meant this EVO. Imagine they put on more aero for the EVO and run the latest tyres, what would be the timing like.
NOB: No One Better
I wanna see this car make a come back
I really wanted to hear it run on propane! ;)
where can we see more of that eg civic hatch build?
I love egos man🤤 and I love to Hoon
Shoutout gran turismo 5 with the red hipermax livery
Does that guy from UK HKS commentate on UK Time Attack? I recognise his voice.
Badd ass Evo
Granturismo ps1 omd 😅😍
Bruh that car looks like a tide pod
Not to get sidetracked, but notice the Supras in the background though.
So what evo generation was it ? 8 or 9?
You guys should post the song credits
Please do the swifts in the background!!!!!!!
Wooooo woooo
intro song? really like it . need it
550ish 🐎 power roughly 2300lbs = good time
Please tell me u went to Tomei????
No they changed the livery
This is outnof order
I Really Think Larry's Part Italian,,, know What I Mean ???😄😄😄😄
Talking about tyre technology when Yokohama have done nothing with the A050 for a number of years....
Yeeeeeessssssss👌
Does someone know the name of the intro beat ?
i still drive the red version of that car in forza
What songs is the intro?
5:33 specific*
This.
“Masaya” means happy in Tagalog 🇵🇭
10th?
The fact that this has so little aero compared to the new cars shows that you don't need all that horrendous likely non wind tunnel tested aero to go fast around Tsukuba. It makes zero sense, all that aero benefits maybe the last corner only, it being the only long sweeping highspeed corner. Why all these teams go all batshit crazy on the aero is beyond me, especially if they probably don't even understand it. Tsukuba is so short of a track and low avg speeds. Focus on mechanical grip and clearly you can still post sub 55 times. I stopped watching the time attacks cause the cars looked so ridiculous, didn't have any connection to what we can buy. This car looks like something we would drive, that's important. Last note, in the description you wrote it did 55, when you guys show a video of it doing 53, and the interview said 53.
it's not a race car or tuner car it is a hybrid 😉
It was a time attack car back in 2006/2007 then converted as NGV
@@philiploydrecto5176 also me "i still drive the red version of that car in forza"
I tot it was rc model
