Surprising exactly no one, the RC-F GT500 took the opening round of Japanese Super GT, oh and it also took second and fourth places.

Now thats what I love to see!

What will be interesting is seeing what all the street legal road versions of all of these can do on a track doing a time attack race.

2:55 when the RC-F was taking off from the pit was the highlight for me . Just listen to her roar!

Super GT cars are unreal, they eat European GT cars for breakfast

In looks and performance
It's just crazy how above and beyond the Japanese go.

 

[rwdftw]

how do the specs compare between the two racing leagues?

 

[soarer]

Not sure but going off of what we know about their production versions is what i think is a good starting point, still, lots to look into when it comes to these GT cars since they are much different than production versions

 

[spoonful]

Super GT cars are longer and wider, more extravagant aero packs, more power...

Just compare the RC GT500 with the RC GT3...

 

[soarer]

Comparing the two...

The GT500 model (top) looks crazy!

 

[Odetta]

The GT500 model looks liek it would make the most out of all those canards and air ducts. but they are both just as wide.

 

[soarer]

Yeah both do seem just as wide, im sure the fender width in mm's are about the same, just different styling, GT500 model looks more intense

 

[Odetta]

Looking at this gt500 is just intense and obviously overkill to be driven on the streets. just imagine the amount of downforce on it and I'd say there is a full underbody diffuser to make it glide through the air.

GT3 cars have to be closer to production than GT500 cars do if I'm remembering correctly. Oh well, don't trust a stranger on the internet

It would be killer to see that on the streets, kind of like this beast that's road-legal:

I love those rims
