The Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car is a fictional rally car produced by Toyota. It first appeared in Gran Turismo Concept and was featured in the subsequent mainline games until Gran Turismo 6.

In-game description[]

"A dream car that converts the durable RSC coupé into a rally spec machine."
Designed by the company's CALTY Design Research facility in Newport Beach, California, and debuting at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, the Toyota RSC ("Rugged Sport Coupe") was a rally racing-inspired concept car that looked ready to do battle in the African desert in the legendary Paris-Dakar Rally, and quite possibly the inspiration for BMW's X6 model.

Looking a bit like a muscular version of the Toyota Celica, this concept car measured 162 inches long, 72.8 inches wide and a somewhat tallish 61 inches in height. But its pugnacious front end and blistered wheel wells made room for large 19-in. wheels for increased stability on or off the road. Under its muscular exterior resided numerous components sourced from the Toyota Celica GT-Four rally racer. A full 414 HP (with the air restrictor removed) was provided by Toyota's turbocharged 3S-GE 2-liter DOHC inline-4 beneath the wide hood.

Like many rally cars, the RSC featured an all-wheel-drive system, accompanied in this instance with a conventional center differential (today's competition cars in the top-flight World Rally Championship use sophisticated active electronic differentials for maximum tractability). Other elements for off-road travel included a raised ride height, beefed-up suspension arms, springs and shocks all around. You never know what you'll encounter cruising at high speed in the middle of nowhere.

Trivia[]

  • The livery is based on the 1998 Toyota Corolla WRC, complete with the #5 door number as driven by Carlos Sainz Sr.
  • In GT4, it is notorious for being as one of the easiest ways to make money. In about ten minutes, the player can complete the Capri Rally (Easy), both normal and reverse, which are easily beaten with tuned low-end cars. The Special Conditions events prize cars are resettable, meaning players can repeatedly earn 265,624 Credits by selling it, a massive amount for very little effort and time. Additionally, the Capri Rally offers numerous wall riding opportunities to make the process quicker, if one can avoid the 5 second 50kmh/30mph speed limitation penalty.[1]
