Reborn as a near-future car

“Ryu-chan” decided to further tweak this car and make it into a “near-future car” during the restoration process. The body remodeling was carried out to make use of the special characteristics of the kit car, and while retaining the lines of the Purvis Eureka, wide wings were added, and a unique wing was also created to give it a more racy design. The motif was the anime “Future GPX Cyber Formula”, which he used to watch as a child.

The interior has also been carefully crafted when you look into the cockpit. Monitors and push buttons were installed to counteract the analog feel, and the console that houses them was also made to match the current car.

To get into the car, you lift the canopy door and slide yourself in. To make this sequence of actions more cool, we changed from a manual system to an electric opening style using a remote control. The door is set to open electrically and close manually. Cost reduction This is partly to prevent trouble, but also because the analogue action of closing the vertical door makes the mood more exciting.

The Purvis Eureka has been transformed into a truly one-of-a-kind supercar by “Ryu-chan”. Moreover, it was customized in 2021 as a dream machine for the Japanese market. From here onwards, the machine that is the fruit of his passion will continue to evolve with the times.
