Design and performance

An evolution of the Lizard Detector, the Colleague features a different rear end and a GT-styled rear wing. In the powertrain department, the Detector's standard 3.0 liter V8 engine is replaced by a larger and more potent 4.0 liter turbocharged V8, giving it more than enough power to face its lower-end Stage 3 stablemates. The only downside of the car is the weight, however.

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

Spirit of America with the history of Lizard.

The Colleague is a well-established machine that has been lined up since the establishment of Lizard. This machine, which is said to be the 'Spirit of America', has undergone a model change and is now the 7th generation.  However, the engine that is the heart ring is a 4,000cc V8, which is a traditional engine that has not undergone major changes since that time. The turbo has been installed in recent years, but it is a proof that the basic design is solid. The Colleague is a special machine only for the final GP, but its appearance is finished in a so-called mediocre design with little time. To put it the other way around, striking out extraordinary specs with mediocre styling may be the "spirit of America" ​​of this machine.
