In-game description[]
Tommykaira is a noted Japanese tuner,formerly known as Tomita Dream Sales. The name was formed combing the names of the owners, Yoshikazu Tomita and Kikuo Kaira. In July 1995, Tommykaira released it's first original car, the ZZ.
The ZZ sported a bathtub chassis composed of aluminum monocoque with steel tube frames, making it's construction similar to that of a race car. The suspension system consisted of double wishbones at all four corners, mounted directly to the frame. It also possessed race-car proportions, with an overall length of 11.8 ft, and width of more than 5.5 ft.
The engine was Nissan's carbureted SR20DE tuned by Tommykaira. It produced 178 BHP at 6900 rpm and 141.7 lb-ft at 4900. It was mounted amidships facing east-west, propelling the rear wheels.
The ZZ was a simple car, lacking even side windows,but it's direct driving feel made it popular with driving enthusiasts. It's performance numbers turned heads in both Japan and Europe. Later, a hardtop model was added to improve everyday usability, and in 2000, the highly tuned ZZ-S model was released. The ZZ-S has an even more potent version of the SR20DE., with output rated at 192 BHP at 7300 rpm with 146.8 lb-ft of torque at 6400. Since the vehicle weighed only about 700kg, the acceleration and handling character were indeed race-car like. Sadly, the ZZ-S is no longer produced, but there are more than a few that still roam the streets of Japan today.
