@patina.research The JUN Auto R33 GT-R was so wild, it’s hard to believe it was built 25+ years ago. 1000hp, 0–60 in 2.8s, 0–190 in 12s, 230 mph top speed. Full interior, A/C, and daily-driven on the Wangan like a stock car. Sure, you can build a 1000hp car today—but will it be this practical, reliable, and easy to drive RIP Junichi Tanaka
