The Terrazi Wildboar is a car manufactured by Terrazi, appearing only in Ridge Racer Type 4.

Design

The Wildboar is Terrazi's top-end Stage 2 car offered to the player after winning the first two races of the Real Racing Roots '99. Following Terrazi's reputation for unique and surreal car designs, the Wildboar features a 3-wheel layout that uses 2 front turning wheels and a single drive wheel at the rear.

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

Fusion work with a motorcycle that cannot be imitated.

This Wildboar is nicknamed "a tricycle that runs on a circuit" with a unique design that can be seen at a glance. Starting from a motorcycle maker, only Terrazi, the world's number one motorcycle maker, may have been quite natural to merge a motorcycle and a race car together. It is a famous story in the racing world that Mr. Shoichiro Teraji, who is not bound by anything, said "You can use your head while you are young," and the engineer created this Wildboar in response to that word. Like with the Rumor, the mid-positioned engine will grow with each stage, and you want to continue riding across stages. It's a machine that makes you feel like that.

Trivia

• In one of Ridge Racer 7 newstickers, it is mentioned that the Wildboar is being exhibited at Terrazi's recently opened motor museum, which in turn references Honda's Collection Hall museum.
• Because of the name, it is possible that the car is the spiritual predecessor of the Terrazi Wild Gang, having in common being cars with unusual designs, and potentially being small beasts in racing due to their efficiencies.
• This is one of the 4 cars in the Ridge Racer series featured that have 3 wheels, the other three being the Extreme Green/DK Team Racing, Terrazi Utopia and R4's rendition of the Age Ecureuil.
• It is possible that this car is also the predecessor and base car of the Extreme Green.
• Its design is very similar to that of the Campagna T-Rex 3-wheel sports car, while the cockpit is reminiscent of the Yamaha OX99-11.
