The Toyota 7 was redesigned for 1969 and featured a new naturally aspirated 5 litre V8 engine producing 600bhp at 8,000 rpm. It wasn't as fast as Nissan's 1969 Group 7 car the R382 which featured a 6 litre V12, so for 1970 a twin turbo installation was developed and it is that car (578A)which is currently in the game.
I would like this car which would be a good match for other historic racing cars already in the game. It raced against and beat Lola T70's, the Isuzu R7 Chevrolet and the Porsche 917K (in it's early form).
