An unmarked, unlabeled semi pulls into the lot. Led by a lemon wedge and trailed by a gold blob, it comes to a halt in front of some garages; the yellow escorts disperse.
The first of these happens to be a Zacspeed F35, the company’s race-derived halo model from the late 80s. US-spec examples had a chunky bumper laid onto the wedgy front, but this one goes without. Now with Japanese plates (why they kept the front ones remains a mystery), we can presume the owner doesn’t do much with it rather than keep it stock. We can’t blame him, what with just about 500 HP from a 4.5L V12, a five-speed gated manual, and that optimal wedge profile.
In pulls the next one, a Motorpop Go Type C. Not just any Motorpop Go Type C though - it’s the Pikachu edition. Not just any Motorpop Go Type C Pikachu though - it’s shiny. With 10 of these quirky promo cars built, it’s thought there are only one or two puttering about. A non-shiny one turned up recently when suggesting new cars for one Chaz Kramer, but it was turned down out of fear of being a showstopper in the DMCA sense . How it manages to smile after getting turned down like that is a mystery.
As the truck’s trailer opens up, a V8 rumbles to life.
You might remember this from the 1994 New York auto show, the one with the NU-ERA concepts. This Sirius-Zacspeed WR-GT2 wasn’t exactly a new car when it surfaced there. Prior to its show appearance, where Zacspeed Racing announced it would contest the newly-formed BPR GT1 class with this, the WR-GT2 ran in IMSA GTO since 1992. The Daytona 24h and Sebring 12h races gave plenty of experience in how the chassis and engine would hold up over lengthy periods of time, which certainly helped when it came to their runs at Le Mans. It shows up every now and then in historic showcases - with the Revello-Zacspeed Monza GT1 currently undergoing maintenance, people are speculating this may very well show up at Donington.
