The Age Licorne is a car manufactured by Age, appearing only in Ridge Racer Type 4.

Design

The Licorne features a bold, streamlined and unique design, with a glass canopy at the front, resulting in a very near explicit resemblance to the Gillet Vertigo. Power comes from a turbocharged 3.0 liter four cylinder engine, mated to a 6-speed transmission. The balance between power and light weight mean that this car has serious performance, hence its position as Age's top-end Stage 3 car.

The following is a translated transcription of the car featured in the Japanese Ridge Racer Type 4 - Namco Official Guide Book R4:

Beautiful adult play proposed by Age Solo.

This Licorne can be said to be a play for the race, "Is it a beautiful win that Age Solo put in with the aim of winning the final GP?" However, the national character of France, where Motors Boats is recognized as a noble sport, is not just about talking. "How important does that policy influence the design of the machine?". The specs aiming for the final GP conviction are, of course, turbo-tuned with a 3,000cc in-line 4-cylinder DOHC, and the maximum horsepower can be up to around 350. The huge rear wing strongly pushes the car body against the road surface. It is a serious play machine that France is proud of.

Trivia

• Licorne is the French word for unicorn.
• Although predating the real car by a year, the Licorne bears marked similarities to the Gillet Vertigo Race Car with its extremely long hood, wide track, flowing lines and even four taillights.
