Does the Toyota 2000GT have a racing mod package?

[Mr.Duel]

if it does, does it something like this? Seeing that one has to have all the licences in gold, I won't see the 2000GT anytime soon.

If anyone can actually post a pic from an emulator, that would be great.

Yes, but not as cool as that:

That one pictured is a model of a silhouette racer, ie a gorund up race car that merely looks like a 2000GT, not a race tuned 2000GT.

As you can see, Polyphony did their research on the style of the race mod:

...which is a reason GT2 is still my favorite GT game.

You don't need any license achievements; just money. The Toyota 2000GT '68 is available in the used cars lots. A nice gold one is available on days 1 to 9. IB license in four days, and then you can win the Trial Mountain 30 to get enough money to purchase it. (price is high for a used car; always around Cr110,000).

The TRD (Toyota Racing Development) 3000GT was a license test prize in GT1. And there's another TRD 2000GT in GT2; it's the prize for the first race in the MR set of races. I don't think that one can be race-modified. (According to the Connoy car list, available at gamefaqs.com, it cannot).

P.S. I don't just spout this information off the top-of-my-head.
E.g.

P.P.S. If my personal used car notes are correct, there are two 2000GT'68 available from days 10 to 19 (but neither of them is gold).

Great info guys, truly appreciate it.
sucahyo, thanks for the images that really helped. Seeing that they don't have that body kit like in the model, I'm somewhat dissapointed. I was hoping to drive that wild looking one.

Look how purty the body is

Dave, that is indeed a sillhouete racer model. How did you know? Also you mentioned it being a ground up racer that merely looks like a 2000GT, you mean this is not a 2000GT?

Pupik & Sportwagon, thanks for the info & heads-up, I just wished they had that wild body kit, now I'm not that hot on getting it anymore.

You do realize your first picture is a slot-car, do you?

That unpainted body is very sixties. Actually it's more fifties. "Supercar... Supercar..."

Supercar!

(I claim, being made in 1961, that series was still largely reflecting fifties ideas of styling and futurism). Okay, I guess the body you show will look less fifties once you join the fins with an airfoil.

Wait, that second body is the slot-car, too, isn't it? Duh.

Or maybe the following is a better picture...

It's a TRD tuner body-kit for an MR-2?
