The Destroyer is a race car manufactured by Terrazi, appearing in Ridge Racer Type 4. In Grand Prix mode, it is awarded to the player to compete in the final race of the Real Racing Roots 99 season at Shooting Hoops, in the event that all seven previous races have been won with Terrazi cars. As Terrazi's ultimate machine for Real Racing Roots 99, it is their answer to the Assoluto Squalo, Age Supernova, and Lizard Reckless.
Design and performance[]
While most Ridge Racer cars are modelled after real-life race cars and concept cars, the Terrazi Destroyer appears to be modelled on Hurricane Sonic from the Mini 4WD-themed anime, Bakusล Kyลdai Let's & Go!!, and possibly the Toyota GT-One. It is powered by two electric motors โ again, drawing possible inspiration from Mini 4WD cars.
The following is a translated transcription of the car featured in the Japanese Ridge Racer Type 4 - Namco Official Guide Book R4:
The circuit super machine inspired by the 'Harriut' movie.
While the Lizard Cataract was used in the 'Harriut' movie, it was this Destroyer that turned the Harriut movie car into a circuit racing car. Although it was a movie, this Destroyer is a completely different car because it takes advantage of the performance of the rear wing that brings downforce like a real race car. Since it is obligatory to win when it comes to racing, a super magnetic twin motor is adopted for the engine which is powerful. It is a trick that can make the playfulness of Terrazi, which is not bound by the shape, but if you applaud the spirit of Terrazi, you would like to wear a design that is so to speak for a commercial car.

Notes[]
- Despite being powered by electric motors, the car features two exhaust pipes in the rear.
- It is one of two cars in the series to be powered by electric motors, the other being the Himmel 490B.
