So we know that there was going to be a PS3 version of the Speed Racer movie videogame: https://twitter.com/MarioWynands/status/1252492486930391041
My question is what the exclusive content would be.
Sooo I've decided to write down what cars I think would be exclusive to that port:
Masurai
Zoomishi
Garaiya
Manecks Novelties T-180 or Janus Automakers T-180
A T-180 version of one of the Casa Cristo cars, either Mutafed or BodySculpt Gym
And I like to imagine that like the PS2 version (which had Skorost), this version would have had it's own exclusive track. I'm thinking maybe themed after India or Thailand
But those are just my silly thoughts, I'd like to know your thoughts on what it would be like
Hi, sooooo, the Speed Racer sticker book has a board game (?) on one of the pages.
Something that interests me (aside from the Green Energy) is that the track has sponsor logos plastered all over it. Problem is that they’re in Japanese/Chinese (and one is in I think Arabic?).
Anyone mind translating them? Here they are on their own:
(This one is obscured by I think smoke, plus the page split there)
So I was watching this video, and noticed that it showed a screen with another list of cars for the Grand Prix.
This list appears to be less bullsh*t when compared to the one that appears in the movie. However, it is still not fully accurate, as it only lists a few of the cars and they repeat. Regardless I still thought it was interesting, especially the one named "Cheerios"...
Left Row:
1. Prince Kabala
2. Janus Automakers
3. Zokeo
4. GRX
5. Musha Motors
6. Cheerios
7. Nitro
8. 3 Roses
9. Taejo
10. Kalinkov
11. Quiet Sensation
12. Petrobras
13. King Crab
14. Mrs. Oats
Right Row:
19. 3 Roses
20. Zokeo
21. Janus Automakers
22. Nitro
23. Mach 6
24. Kalinkov
25. GRX
26. Prince Kabala
27. King Crab
28. Cheerios
29. Mrs. Oats
30. Autobacs
31. Taejo
32. Quiet Sensation
So, in one part of the flashback where Speed met Trixie for the first time and then introduced her to Pops and Rex, they were working on an engine. I screensnapped this part at the bit where Rex was disposing of the explosive package. This side of the engine had six, glowing blue lines radially arranged. You know what else would have these glowing lines?
The Mach 6's Bernoulli Convergenator. It is also mentioned by Pops when interviewed in the mockumentary "Wonderful World of Racing: The Amazing Racer Family" that after Rex's death in the Casa Cristo that he "didn't think [he'd] ever put [his] hands on an engine or a Convergenator again."
So, what my theory is, is that the engine Pops and Rex were working on was the Mach 4's engine, and that it had a Convergenator in it.
What do you think?
It took a while... but I've added all of the concepts shown in the Car Fu extra at the Speed Racer (2008) Car Models page.
If anything is wrong, or you feel like some things need changing, let me know.
So in the “Making of Speed Racer” extra, when they discuss the fact that they “probably designed an excessive 100 cars“, for a second a T-180 sponsored by Mrs. Oats scrolls by.
Doesn’t appear in the movie so I assume it was unused like the KaraSugoi and Habemus Machina T-180s.
So, there were a series of model kits released in Japan by a company called Sea Horse during the 1970s for Mach Go Go Go (y'know, the original Japanese version of Speed Racer), of vehicles that I know for certain never appeared in the anime or the manga.
Mach No. 6
Red 9
Acrobat Z2
Masked Racer X13
Pretty cool stuff, huh? Also, according to Scalemates, they were released in 1977. Not sure if that's true or not.

Although we've never had a single digital files of those logos, I remade some of them.
ULUL: This one was the easiest logo to be remade, despite some possible inaccuracies.
Mrs.Oats: This one isn't seen in the Videogame, but seen in the movie. You can see this logo in the Infinite 55 and the blue & red Kawarimono cars, same being applied to one of Thunderhead's outdoors.
Ekpyrosis, Nitro Venderhoss' manufacturer.
The well-known Razorback Depilatory, Pitter Pat's manufacturer.

I saw an episode of speed racer a few years ago ive wanted to see it again but i havent been able to find it all i remember is it (might) of been about a very powerful engine that someone wanted to use for racing, but pops wanted to stop them because he believed it was too dangerous because of its power, i think the bad dude then tried to use the engine in a car but it exploded
( this might not even be the plot and I think the engine had a marking on it like 101 or something and I think it was buried somewhere)
If anyone can help me find this episode please comment
I need as much info on this car
A Rex racer prequel

Hey, I want to build thunderhead, and maybe other speed racer movie tracks, in the game track mania. Does anyone know if there is a model of the tracks somewhere? or any other reference for the track layout besides the movie?
I checked the video game but it seems to have gotten it wrong as its definitely missing some important parts of the track.
I am looking to build a small boat with features of the Mach 5 or 6. mostly 6 because its absolutely sexy. From the newest movie. Anyone have a location or plans on the steering wheel and interior or picture so i can replicate?
