As a country famous for its patience, discipline and peace of mind, it seems that the Japanese usually have to restore the most merciless racing cars on the road.
Perhaps it is the most famous – or the most documented, at least – is Takeshi Moroi’s Porsche 962C appeared by Dino in 2012. decades ago, this was compatible with MULSANNE directly with more than 200 mph. However, her vision is suspended in front of the Tokyo Mart family is more impressive.
If you prefer your race cars more suitable for anything but Smooth runway, S4 Impreza from Junya Matsushita is an example of ’90s WRC. It was built by PRODrive for the 1998 season and was imported from the Netherlands in 2010, and Junya spent years restoring her hard to its previous glory. Expensive, but it is worth each penny.
For those who do not have a budget to drown in a former legitimate Rakir, do not waste all hope. You only need to get rid of all the amenities in your car and spend a terrifying time of parts accompanied by the time of the period such as wheels and spoilers, and the result is your identical version on the road. A passion shared by Mashahiko Yamazai and his friends tearing in the streets of Saitama in their construction inspired by a tour.
The race cars will always be great. This is a statement of each Speedhunter It can be unified, attractive to convert it from the path to the road, is always due to the same reason: to create the most shining, laminated and more shining driving experience that can be imagined … without having to go to the path first.
Is this always fun? Certainly no. The fact that you have a genuine The racing car can be on the road – unlike the road that was adjusted in the race track – more painful. I say that as a person has a Ferrari 360 challenge that has been going on the roads for nearly five years, which then spent less than 12 months actually suitable for use.
But from time to time, something uninterrupted comes until it is surprised even more seasoned Speedhunter, Something is very mysterious and ridiculous that goes beyond how it is on the road firmly in the cause. Because it is in the legal highway racing game The highest Trump, Syuichi Kinoshita has an unbeatable hand …
Lamborghini Diablo was not less than a special version. Between 1990 and 2001, a total of 2,907 was produced in Sant’agata, with 18 different copies available during that time. The largest part of these (873) 2WD Diablos was between 1990 and 1996, followed by VT and VT Roadster (including 6.0 later in 2000/2001), which represents nearly two -thirds of the productive Diablos.
SE30 represents the most limited models, SE30 represents only 157 units, followed by GT with only 81 built between 1999 and 2000. Although, according to Instagram, Most of this now seems to be the legal way and residents of Japan, too …
However, all of these numbers seem positive for collective production compared to what is placed in the Kinoshita San garage. It is not only one of the two engineering that is designed to compete in the GT2 race, but it is also the only one that is the legal way. This was not a requirement to use competition or spice in particular; This is all on Kinochetta Saint, after getting the car in a very bad condition, he decided that he may also be thrown into the additional bits needed to obtain legal it rock (Road top) Inspection while re -assembled.
“A friend of me spent nearly three years to track and get the car, but as soon as it arrived, the required work size was too much for him,” Kenoshita San explains. “At that time, I was already owning Gallardo LP560, so I understood the Lamborghini theater and the Lamborghini Theater. You can get it, the values have risen!
Reicht was formed in 2000 by Hans Richter Racing Engineer, and the GT2 Lamborghini Diablo will be the first official prepared car to compete in the FIA GT Championship. Diablo GT has already taken a strong rule, Reiter has modified both cars on a large scale to meet the GT2 regulations, with a 6.0 -liter V12 engine production approximately 600 hp.
This GT2 Diablo will celebrate the start of the Reiter’s Lamborghini trip, as for the next 14 years, they will be responsible for developing and preparing all Lamborghini racing versions, including Gallardo GT3 and MURCIGIGO R-GT.
“I have always loved cars from an early age, and as soon as I was able to drive, I was enjoying modifying everything I have to make them feel like a racing car in the street,” Kinoshita San remembers. “Initially, I started with the EP71 star, then JZX90 Mark II until GX71 Cresta. I bought the first Lamborghini – The Gallardo LP560 – later because I liked its strength, strength and attractive. He had the appearance and performance of a race car, but it was very easy to use it on the street. Quickly, I became obsessed with all the things Lamborghini, and when the opportunity to buy Reiter GT2, I couldn’t say no.
With only two cars, the main issue facing Kinoshita-SAN was trying to replace any missing or damaged ingredients-many of which require a dedicated work process and took it. Fortunately, the 6.0 -liter chain gearbox and Holieger were in good condition, and despite its history in the race, the exterior of the carbon was complete, including GT2 ingredients such as the publisher, the rear adjustable wing and the front separator. Kinoshita Saint early knew that he wanted to get GT2 ready for roads, so during this process, he took many measures to try to make it the easiest to keep it in the future.
“In the form of the race, there is no exhaust restriction, so it is loud!” He adds. “I have installed many sounds and exhaust valve to keep Diablo calmly at a low speed, and I think my neighbors were very happy. For the race, fuel tanks are a bag in the Kevlar box, but they end every few years and very expensive to replace them. So, we created an aluminum tank instead From that, at the same time, add a systematic system for the nose;
“The only thing I want to change is the guidance shelf because trying to wrap on the narrow roads in Japan takes many attempts, but its price is little to pay to use this crazy car on the road.”
Watching Kinoshita Saint -Diablo through Tokyo is no less than dropping the jaw. Unlike the heat-which Kinoshita-San tried to fight with the 12V code fan in Footwell-it is surprisingly and unusually characterized. Until the exhaust valve is opened …
You will light up the smallest amount of suffocating easily 310 Michelin. Do not be deceived by grooves. This is not a typical experimental sport or a 2S cup; It is a full competition of wet competition instead. But with indicators, numbers and the ability to crawl over speed bumps, they are suitable for the road … Just about. And Kinoshita-SAN also does not hide it; It will regularly join the days of the owner of Lamborghini at any opportunity. Although his lack of use may appear to be a waste, before the project took over, it was just another previous car in a thousand inappropriate pieces any Used.
“In addition to Diablo GT2, I replaced Gallardo with Aventador, which is a completely different experience,” Kinoshito San adds. “A mixture of Lamborghini and V12 appearance that was naturally inhaled is something I think many of us dream about. They are two completely different cars, but they also share a lot of the same DNA, which I think can be found in all Lamborghinis, new and ancient. What I would like to do is more than anything in 2025 is the return of GT2 to the race path to know how to perform it. I never get bored. “
You thought after the 926C road on the road, WRC Impreza and GT2 Diablo, Tokyo’s streets couldn’t become more exciting. But Kinoshito-SAN is already looking forward to the following Reiter project-Murciélaago R-GT. When it comes to Japan, you will never judge anything outside.
