Is this the car that is meant to do 380kmh? Or was that only the road version?
Road version here states 380kph , but with turbo 420kph , Damn thats fast
what a machine!
The
Toyota "TS020" GT-One Road Car is a road-
homologated mid-engined supercar manufacatured by
Toyota. The road version is based on the race version, and was built due to homologation reasons.
In 1997, Toyota decided to move to the production-based
FIA GT Championship division, particularly in GT1. Since they had to do this, they were forced to make a production version due to regulations saying the manufacturer must build at least 2 functional road-going models of the same car. In 1998, the Toyota TS020 GT-One road car was fully built and ready to go.
The road version uses most of the race car's vehicle components but some parts have some small changes for the road.
The engine is the same 3.6-litre R36V twin-turbocharged V8, and like the race version, puts out 600 horsepower (450 kW; 610 PS) at 6000 rpm and 479 pound-feet (649 N·m) of torque also at 6000 rpm.
[7][8] All of the power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 6-speed
sequential manual transmission, making the car rear-wheel drive. The suspension is based on the race version's components, these being independent front & rear double wishbones, but the ride height is higher, to match road regulations.
The car is able to do 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds,
[7] 0-100 mph in 5.5 seconds, and the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds at 142 miles per hour (229 km/h).[
citation needed] The GT-One's top speed is set at 236 miles per hour (380 km/h),
although the turbocharger would propel it to around 260 miles per hour (420 km/h).

The exterior design is still the same as the race car's design, but the spoiler has been slightly changed to meet road regulations. The interior, however has been extensively changed.
[9] The front dashboard and steering wheel have been simplified to meet regulations. The dashboard includes the usual lights featured on a dashboard. The steering wheel is manufactured by
Toyota Team Europe. The center console has also been simplified, which now stores the climate controls, the air conditioning fans, hazards, light beam controls, etc.
The body construction is the same; carbon-fiber, to keep the car light and nimble. The block material is also made carbon-fiber. This resulted with a total weight of 900 kilograms (2,000 lb). However, since the car had been installed with road-related necessities (e.g. air conditioning system), the weight had been increased by 20 kilograms (44 lb), but since this increase isn't much, it's most likely because of the limited road necessities that were installed.
