Toyota ALTEZZA LM Edition

The Toyota ALTEZZA LM Edition (Lexus IS 200 LM Edition in the PAL version of the game) is a Race car produced by Toyota. It appears only in Gran Turismo 2, being replaced with the Toyota ALTEZZA Touring Car in the later games of the series, starting from Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. This car is the successor of the Toyota Chaser LM Edition, a race car appeared only in the original Gran Turismo

Handling
With a DTM-Style appearance, the Toyota ALTEZZA LM Edition has a good acceleration and a very good top speed. The car has also good cornering capacity, especially at medium-high speed, but in tight and slow corners, this car can be tricky to drive, due to the oversteer, and can be easy to spin out when accelerating and steering at the same time. Overall, this car is very good, and is a good choice for the hardest races of the game.

GT2
This car can be won by winning the Rome City 2 Hours Endurance. It had a chance of 1/4 (25% of probability) to come as a prize car. The car is available in three color schemes, White, Gray, and Yellow.
