The Age Antilope is a car made by Age and featured exclusively in Ridge Racer Type 4, under the Age Solo brand.
Design and performance[]
It assumes the classic "long hood, short deck" proportion found in many sports cars, complemented by rounded headlights that give it a European touch, showing a strong resemblance to the Jaguar E-Type. Powered by a 4.0 liter straight six engine, the Antilope is a powerful car, but its performance is somewhat hindered by the fact that it's the heaviest car on Age Solo's line up. On R4's branch system, it sits at the lower end of Stage 3.
The following is a translated transcription of the car featured in the Japanese Ridge Racer Type 4 - Namco Official Guide Book R4:
The strongest tag between France and America.
The Antilope was introduced by Age Solo as a pure sports car to be exported in Japan in order to face the Japanese cars that are bustling the European market. The design that makes the most of the streamlined shape that Japanese people like is equipped with a naturally aspirated in-line 6-cylinder engine with a midship layout and has beans that make enthusiasts grin. However, the engine of the brilliant power band and the chassis design that emphasizes grip driving are all traits knowp for Age Solo cars and although it is never flashy, it doesn't mean it's boring. The maximum speed can reach up to around 220km/h, so it is not inferior in this class. It’s a circuit honor student machine that anyone can enjoy.
