@patina.research I just love the HKS oil spill livery. I can’t think of a single other design that goes this hard and looks amazing on everything it’s put on. The HKS TRB-01 Altezza was built to prove what HKS was capable of. With a 600 hp turbocharged 3S engine, a tube frame chassis, carbon fiber bodywork, and a weight of just 1,000 kg, it was purpose built to chase lap records at Tsukuba. In 2001, it set a blistering 55.8 second lap, cementing its place as one of the greatest Japanese time attack cars ever built.
