Design and performance

In terms of size, this car is actually smaller than the Troop, but features a larger 2.5 liter turbocharged straight four engine, mated to a 5-speed transmission. Compared to the Troop, it's both more powerful and lighter, and thus, in R4's branch system, it's Terrazi's mid-range Stage 2 car.

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

Exquisite front and rear wheel balance runs through the circuit.

The first mid-engined sports car made by Terrazi is this Rumor. The weight distribution of the front and rear wheels is required to the utmost in the race, but this Rumor has a 4-cylinder turbo engine, which is a limited production car that follows the kit model. Its the stability is excellent and it is over depending on the tuning. It hits 300km/h and it is a car which is highly regarded among the runners on the mountain pass. The short wheelbase has excellent cornering performance and is very easy to handle without any habit. The weight balance of the front and rear wheels is ideal and it can be said that there are many drivers who enjoy driving it a lot.
