I think Yuri means recall as in ‘bring a memory forward’
maybe you shouldn’t speak for other people, it’s quite literally a list of the people who have already submitted
(cooked this car up literally in 30 minutes)
The 1981 Hikaru Katana V12.
While this car may not be the most inspiring car to look at, or the fastest, or the most comfortable to drive, it certainly has a 4.7L V12, definitely makes over 300HP, and definitely doesn’t blow up (I think).
The ultimate Japanese nugget, the small boy with a big bite, a car with an oversized engine, it goes by many names. But it will be forever a Katana, even if it was the manufacturer’s least favourite generation of it.
(these are just photos of the base model but just slap on a V12 logo on the back and lower it a little bit and they’re pretty much the same car)

I doubt that will do its sportiness any favors…
Anyway, the sheer diversity of the entries being submitted is enough to give the producers a tough time.
We were told to cover up. According to the newspapers, out new GT was considered deeply inappropriate, and they would like for us to change it. It seems like the GT subverted everyone’s expectations of what a Japanese car should be, and was apparently deemed too risque. In an age where conservative thinking is once again on the rise, maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised about this. We can’t really change our bodies that way overnight, however, so we’ve simply covered it all up. Despite the covers, there’s no denying that the silhouette of that sleek and sexy body under all that fabric. Looks like all we can offer is a little tease, but let’s be honest, that’s enough to make you want to get in, isn’t it?

FOR MOBILE VIEWERS: DISPLAY IN LANDSCAPE MODE
Developed by four of Japan’s largest automotive manufacturers during the height of the Japanese bubble economy, the Sendo GT represented a radical departure from the four companies’ typical products, and held the power to bring a world revolution to the sports car market.
With over 4 years spent on development, the Sendo GT had numerous novel features at its release, including a multi-link independent rear suspension, electronically controlled adaptive dampers, a fully mechanical four-wheel-steering system, a 5.0-litre Dual Overhead Cam, 48-valve V12 with variable valve timing making 375 horsepower, optional BBS wheels with Michelin TRX tyres, a digital instrument cluster, a central multi-function CRT display, a 5-speed rear mounted manual transaxle, pop-up headlights, dual-zone climate control, and a highly advanced active aero system that activated to reduce lift at speeds exceeding 80 km/h.
After a controversial test drive marketing campaign in 1991, byy 1992, various upgrades were performed by Sendo since the car’s debut in 1987. Chassis rigidity was improved, the ECU was retuned to allow an increase of 25 horsepower up to 400 hp from 375, and 18" forged aluminum wheels developed by RAYS Engineering were made standard. Electronic power steering, a gated 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-disc Sony CD changer, and other tweaks were also performed to make the first-generation GT the best it could be.
The full article can be read at the Sendo Museum page.

Your new ad for the Sendo GT may be less suggestive, but it’s no less compelling - and still highly evocative of what a V12-powered, Amati-branded sister car to the final generation of Eunos Cosmo would’ve look like, had Mazda gone through with it.
goes unreasonably hard
