  • In Gran Turismo 4, there is a car which has been forgotten by the internet. To the point where it can be considered lost media, as there's no information about it. This is the Protomotors Spirra. ↓ MORE DETAILS BELOW ↓

    A Korean car with designs ripped straight from Burnout 3, whilst using an American engine to rival European cars. If they had Lotus work on the chassis, I think I've got my "International Bingo" sheet filled out.

      With all the parts flying from halfway around the world, producing just a single Spirra would have probably produced more carbon emissions than a literal house fire.

    The Spirra is like a bigger, more powerful W10 MR2 in that it loves to oversteer when you let off the throttle while cornering. This tendency to lift off oversteer is way more pronounced on the Spirra than the MR2, which mandates precise throttle control to keep the thing from spinning out. Once you get used to this quirk however, the car is a joy to drive! Long sweeping corners like the final turn at Tsukuba really highlight this car's ability to steer with the throttle, as it responds so quickly to throttle lifting. Overall, just like the RUF CTR, it's a great car for keeping you on your toes.

    I'm glad that PD kept the Proto all the way up to Gran Turismo 6. I remember never being able to find the right way to tune the car to optimize the light weight. I wonder if I could find an improved way of tuning it now after all of these years. Probably not 😂😂😂

    Korean content...which reminds me of the Korean Altezza SuperRace GT car only made it through rest of the world by PSP. And I'm sure some Japanese mock of the series as it's brutal back then.

    Is the weight distribution really that bad? My only real frame of reference is that 43/57 is the same as the 3rd gen MR2, which itself is much less rear heavy than the second gen, or anything rear engined.
