EDIT 25th August 2024
The car is now available to everyone, you can find the file on this post. I'd like to thank everyone who worked on this car once more, in particular naz who put the thing together. With this act, we enter a new era of C13 Automotive! Expect many more exciting projects like this, produced and published by C13!
The car is available to Tier 2 Patrons in early access for a week. If you'd like to support more project like this, join the Patreon today. These projects are extremely time consuming and expensive to produce, and your support really counts. There are more cars planned, all done to a high standard of quality. If you're an enjoyer of finer things in life, your support here can make great things happen. Download here
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time. The first C13 Automotive produced car is finally here. Made by some of the best people in the game, we're setting the bar pretty high on the very first outing.
So let's go for a tour shall we?
Based on a 1998 Toyota Supra mkIV, The Spectre pushes the GT platform as far towards sports car as it will reasonably go. Tuned to give you some leeway, but she will bite if you disrespect her.
Clad in a Ridox kit, with a large Voltex wing and Max Racing front fenders, The Spectre casts an aggressive silhouette. With the engine pushing out over 660 HP, It's also scary fast. A set of Lexus RCF brakes in concert with big 19" Goodyear Eagle® F1 SuperCar® 3R tires brings the car to a comfortable stop, and enables it to carve through turns with anger.
The chassis rests comfortably on a set of HKS Hipermax R coilovers, giving you both the performance to attack street and circuit alike, and adjustability to adapt the car to you. Rounding off the handling, The Spectre rolls on a set of super light OZ SuperForgiata 19" Wheels, to extract every last drop of handling potential.
The driver's area is similarly upmarket. A TRD steering wheel will give you that OEM+ feel of a high end sportscar, eschewing the boy racer aesthetic and supplanting it with class. Peaking from behind the wheel is the Defi Super Sports Cluster, a marvel of its time, and to this day one of the most desired clusters ever made. The paginated data display (mapped to EXTRA_A) gives you the info you want, when you want it.
The passenger side airbag has been replaced by a secondary instrument cluster, sporting white backlight Pivot gages, which combined with the white climate controls, tie the interior together into a modern grown-up whole. Oh, if you're hoping to fit a baby seat here, look elsewhere, the rear bench has been deleted with prejudice.
A book could be written about the extended spec sheet and story of this car. From the Top-Secret hood to the front v-mount and custom rear diffuser. But none of that will tell you the most important thing: how it drives. So, forget the anecdotes, stories and lore. Take her for a spin. I'll see you in a week.
