- "The new RC410 machine was made to commemorate KAMATA's Grand Prix victory. Even though the expensive 2-door design is the only available model, KAMATA has received numerous orders, Due to this unexpected demand, buyers waited up to a year for delivery of their new machine. This sport coupe was high up in the monthly car sales ranking and became a surprise hit. With its aggressive exterior design and a new 4-liter V6 turbo engine, it is easy to handle and incredibly fast. With all this power, the RC410 has the potential to win consecutive Grand Prix!"
- ―Ridge Racer 7
The Kamata RC410 is a supercar manufactured by Kamata, debuting in Ridge Racer 7 as the game's "hero" machine.
Overview[]
Real world inspiration[]
The RC410 draws mainly from the then still-concept Nissan GT-R (R35), whose prototype versions had been shown at the 2001 and 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, launching the following year after the release of Ridge Racer 7. It also shares some mechanical similarities with the car from both time periods as well, being powered by a turbocharged V6 engine and a 7-speed CVT transmission. As later years approach, namely around the time period of Ridge Racer Vita, it sports a V8 engine, a characteristic the FIA GT1/GT3 specifications of the GT-R would adopt as it enters the road racing scene in 2010.
Coincidentally, the "hero" version of the RC410 resembles the FIA GT1/GT3 homologations of the GT-R, 4 years before it started racing.
In-Universe[]
Kamata originally did not expect high sales for the RC410, as it was a model designed to commemorate Kamata's Ridge World Grand Prix victory (indicating that they, canonically, were the winners of Ridge Racer 6 with their Kamata Angelus model that year). However, orders started pouring in and the waiting list increased to one year. With this surprising success, the RC410 represents a new direction for Kamata, continuing production into the 2012 Grand Prix.
As of 2012, the RC410 has accumulated 10 consecutive Grand Prix wins since its introduction. [1]
Games[]
Ridge Racer 7[]
With the 4-liter V6 engine under the hood, the RC410 has decent acceleration, top speed and handling but it's slightly hampered by its inertial drift and nitrous performance. Its nitrous charge rate is average, however, the base Ultimate Charge rate leaves much to be desired. Ultimate Charge rates can be improved if it's equipped with Bosconian (Mild +2/3) tyres and Galaxian (Normal+U) nitrous, not accounting for other situations like slipstreaming, twin drifting with teammates, and being pushed by other racers.

Customization[]
Alongside performance upgrades, the RC410 can be cosmetically modified to the driver's liking, including the likes of bumpers, rims, paint, and decals.

Ridge Racer 3D[]
The RC410 has similar stats to its previous outing, having decent acceleration while also being hampered by its nitrous performance. However, with 3D's nitrous charge rates favoring basic charge, this is where it shines, even moreso with the Nitrous+B part.

| 1 | 327 km/h | 331 km/h | 337 km/h | 344 km/h |
Ridge Racer (PlayStation Vita)[]
Within Vita's time period, the RC410 has raced alongside its successor, the Kamata SYNCi. With the Ridge Racer 3D model being refined for the new generation, it has never looked any better. Like most machines, the performance is dictated by the Grade system, with the transmission being limited to 6-speed up until Grade 4 performance, to which it regains its 7-Speed transmission. Handling is also similar to its previous outings, easy to initiate and complete drifts.
Alongside the standard variant, an Idolm@ster variant of the RC410 is available exclusively in Japan, based off the idol Ritsuko Akizuki.
Ridge Racer Unbounded[]
Going from track to the streets of Shatter Bay, the RC410 is a nimble machine for the Super class. However, it is not built for aggression and it can be difficult to hold drifts for an extended period of time. It can also be susceptible to drifting by pressing the brakes rather than holding down the drift button. This iteration of the RC410 is based off its appearance on PlayStation Vita, albeit with a "765" as its racing number, and nicknamed "Ridge Racer 7."
- Drivetrain: RWD
- Speed: 5/5 (210 mph/337 km/h)
- Acceleration: 5/5
- Handling: 4/5

The RC410 "Ritsuko"SP variant was added via The IDOLM@STER crossover on August 2020, alongside the Kamata Fiera, Kamata SYNCi, and Assoluto Fatalita. [2]
In a "Ridge Racer"-themed crossover event with Drift Spirits, the main RC410 variant has been added on December, 2020, alongside the Lucky & Wild Evolver and Âge Elenie. This incarnation takes form of its appearance in Ridge Racer (PlayStation Vita).
As part of an event celebrating the 42nd anniversary of Pac-Man, a special variant has been added on June, 2022. [3]

Trivia[]
- In the trailer for Ridge Racer Unbounded, the Kamata shown in the video has lesser decals and detail, especially inside the car.
- The "hero" version, as seen on various promotional materials, is a standard appearance for "Complete Machine" variants starting from Ridge Racer 3D. The following parts are equipped:
- Arkbird: Rear bumper, spoiler, side skirts, and hood
- Dig Dug: Front bumper
- The RC410 made a cameo in Ace Driver 3: Final Turn on one of the racing circuit's TV screen.
- This is the second vehicle in the series to use a carbon fibre hood by default. The first vehicle with a carbon fibre hood in the series was Terrazi Decision in R4.
- In the USA box art of Ridge Racer 7, Ridge Racer Unbounded's teaser trailer, and Ridge Racer Slipstream, the machine is depicted as a left-hand drive. However, in the games, it is is right-hand drive due to it being a Japanese machine.
- This may imply a US-spec, or overseas market model for the machine
- The announcer in Ridge Racer 7 pronounces the name of this car as "R-C-four-one-oh".
- In Ridge Racer 3D, its race car form features a Racing Team Solvalou livery as one of its available liveries.
- If looked closely at the machine's stock side skirts in the Machine Connector, it is possible to notice that there are cameras instead of mirrors in the rear view mirrors.
Cameras in the rear view mirrors.
- As the RC410 is seen in Ridge Racer 7's ending movie and demo replay in Seaside Route 765, it can be assumed that the RC410 is the championship-winning machine of the Ridge State Grand Prix, with Kamata defending their title.
- As such, the RC410 depicted in the game cover and promotional material is a Category 1 machine.
