TRD2000GT Sales Brochure

Post by JeffD »

Thought you may like to see a copy of the original Sales Brochres produced for the TRD2000GT (Ive had it partially translated)

Image

Concept of TRD2000GT
Its origin is the racing form to compete in the JGTC.
Mid-ship-layout, 2 seater, MR2.
This car is a natural born racing car, sport vehicle.
It continues to be successful in the JGTC's GT300 class.
The aero power device is the most important
in the strategy because GT300 is not about high power but the "total package" of the vehicle.

TRD has developed more functional aero
device based on the valuable experiences.
MR2 was built to win race with
the sophisticated look t proves the high
quality of its performance at each race.
Now here is the debut appaearnce of the
racing aero vehicle called a "TRD2000GT"
Long-awaited racing form car has come to
the street from the racing circuit"

Image

What is JGTC?
JGTC stands for Japan Grand Touring Car Championship. There are 2
classes categorised by the machine power, GT500 (500ps) and GT300
(300ps). They are very competitive races. The top few winners will
have weight handicaps in the next races so that the races will stay
heated and interesting.

Among them, 98's GT300 class will be a very tough race with MR2 with
TRD2000GT form and Porche and BMW. MR2 has performed excellently and
been successful in each race despite the competitive nature of the
race.

The racing circuit created the wide and low form to chnge the MR2 look
agressively.
Elegnt style to maximise the aerodynamics.
Wide tyres to improve the handling, added wide and glamerous over-fender.
Adjustable rear wing gives effective downforceand improves rear traction
and also transfers the power of the engine to the road surface.

TRD2000GT has all the racing car specifications.
Truly aggressive change to the mid-ship-sports.
Outside Parts Measurements of vehicle

tut tut tut, best buy the back copies at JAE :thumleft:

the majority of it is on here..

http://www.mr2dc-nw.co.uk/

click on articles :thumleft:

Unfortunately they could not answer a lot of the really juicy questions, and it is no exaggeration that each email took 4 weeks to answer!

I did send them a copy of the Mag and they were really impressed with it! :thumleft:

Clicking on pic wont do you any good I'm afraid as the scan is not high enough res and my scanner gives a "hardware error" every time I try and do it any higher :-( Happy to show the brochure to anyone who wants to see it though.

Cant comment on the legitimacy of other folks cars - all I can say is what's in the brochure.

TRD started building the cars in 1998 to honour their winning the JGTC 300 series class. You would imagine they developed the kit on a new car which would be used as a demonstrator and photograped for the brochure - by rights this would of been the first one - highly unlikely they stamped up 2 cars as #1.

1998 winner....
