Trivia[]
- This is so far the only American-based JGTC car to appear in the Gran Turismo series.
- The internal name for the car is "d2tvr"; it is the only car from one of the four original foreign manufacturers (Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Dodge, and TVR) whose second character in the internal name is "2", to signify new additions to their existing line-up. Curiously, all internal names for new-to-the-game Japanese manufacturers (Daihatsu, Tommy Kaira, and Suzuki) all contain "2" in each car's second character of internal names.
- This might be due to the fact the car competes in a Japanese racing environment.
