A special hidden car only available through Gameshark or Action Replay on the PAL version. Legend has it that Esso got pissed off with Polyphony not paying them to use a car with their sponsor on it, and cancelled future sponsoring on any new video game, which is why there is now "Exxon" instead of Esso.


Lol the Esso/Exxon thing is way older and bigger than video games. If you check into the company's history of mergers and acquisitions, a legal agreement prevents the Esso name from being used in the USA.

I think you're right. Had PD added this car to the NTSC-U version of GT4, it would be named the Exxon Superflo Supra (remember, ESSO was referred to as Exxon in America).
