Lucky & Wild (Japanese: ラッキー&ワイルド) is an American manufacturer of sports cars, debuting in Ridge Racer 3D. Their lineup consists of muscle cars, like the Lucky & Wild Evolver, which acts as the "hero car" in Ridge Racer 3D, since it appears on the cover art. One of their cars is the Wisdom, which was previously featured in R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 as a Lizard product.

  • The manufacturer is named after Namco's 1993 arcade game with same title, Lucky & Wild. The game featured an emphasis on driving, and a decorated seating booth which resembled that of a third-generation Chevrolet Camaro, which could be why the Ridge Racer brand manufactures muscle cars.
    • An opponent car sponsored by Lucky & Wild appears in Rave Racer, but it's unlikely that it's the car manufacturer.
  • Lucky & Wild boasts the longest name of any automobile manufacturer in the Ridge Racer series, being ten characters in length. While the full name of brands such as Terrazi (Terramotors Coproration) and Assoluto (Assoluto Motors) are longer, they are never referred to as such outside of biographies.
  • Due to their nature of producing domestic muscle cars and the Eruption's Category 2 makeover, it's possible that Lucky & Wild might have involvement in stock-car racing similarly to Danver and Lizard.
  • Lucky & Wild Motors is stated to be founded in 1993.
    • This however, is contradictory to the information provided in Ridge Racer 3D. The Eruption's biography describes Lucky & Wild as a "new maker". It is possible that the company was founded in 1993, but would not get involved in motorsport until 2011.
  • It is stated that Lucky & Wild acquired the rights and assets of the Wisdom following Lizard's financial collapse and eventual bankruptcy, while fellow rival, Danver, acquired Lizard's Bayonet and Hijack. However, it is possible that the company acquired the rights to the Bulldog or simply opted to build a similar machine as a tribute.
  • It is implied that Reiko Nagase shows the most brand loyalty to Lucky & Wild, as she is seen in the intro of Ridge Racer 3D driving the Evolver, she also drives the Mad Bull. This could be the result of a sponsorship or it could be her own cars.
