Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Chaparral 2J, the controversial fan car that was banned from motor racing forever.
The Chaparral 2J is created to take on Can-Am racing as the first race car to feature a rather unique active ground effect in the form of a giant vacuum. The combination of its 7.6L engine that produces nearly 690HP of power and the air-cooled snowmobile engines that powered the fans that suck the air flowing underneath the car to keep it glued to the ground is the trump card orchestrated by Jim Hall, the boss of Chaparral Cars. Such unique engineering shocked many fans despite facing troubles in its maiden season. Because of the SCCA banning the use of engines used to power other than the car itself, the Chaparral 2J is banned from motor racing forever.
The 2J will have a quick lap around the Goodwood Motor Circuit but how fast will it go? VTR, start!
The 2J did it in 1:08.375. Rather impressive for a fan car that became a forbidden fruit in the world of motorsports.
What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
