The Toreador features a 90's American muscle/pony car styling, it is based on the 1995-1999 Ford Mustang (SN95) with rear lights from 1993-2000 Subaru Impreza (GC). Standing as an intermediate-level drift car, the Toreador features a heavy body making the car prone to oversteer; as a result, drivers have to take advantage of the car by applying precise steering inputs of the car is needed.

Trivia

• As stated on Ridge Racer 7, the Tornade was first manufactured in 1945. It is possible that Tornade is actually a Toreador, underwent through a name change like Soldat Raggio/Rauna or Kamata Fiaro/Fiera/Fiarre.
• Toreador is Spanish for "bullfighter".
• The Toreador, being a muscle car from the 90s that uses a low-litre V8 turbo engine, contradicts real-life muscle cars from the 90s, which used large engines and naturally aspirated.
