Does anyone have any info on this car(It's in Gran Turismo 3!). Saw it on their website a couple of years ago but haven't heard anything about it since. I think it has been produced but don't know numbers. Sny help appreciated

Seem to recall they had Honda engines, but I'm not 100% certain. Also got a feeling they were built in Norfolk (of all places!) and shipped back to Japan... and that they changed their name from Tommykaira to something else, but can't remember what...

The ZZII was a prototype that (as far as I'm aware) never made it on the road. It was going to be based on Skyline R34 running gear, but with a sleeker 2-seat coupe "Noble"-esque body (as you can see in GT3).

The target weight was around 1000kg, and as it was planned to tune the RB26 engine upto at least 500bhp, it would have made a very interesting drive!

I think he means the one which looks a bit like a Ferrari 360, great looking car. I'd be interested in a bit of info about it as I've only ever seen it in that game.

Got an e-mail back from the company in Japan. After lots of hard surfing managed to find out that the company who made the prototype in the piccie is called ASL and the car is now called RS-01. They mentioned something about not selling outside of Japan(how they knew I was e-mailing from the UK I don't know!). I don't know if this means they don't produce it Love to get one if they do. Anyone have any contacts in Japan?
