- MINI GT and TXR collaboration set to incorporate a number of new automobiles
- Partnership will probably see MINI GT-TXR diecast fashions produced
It appears like Tokyo Xtreme Racer followers can stay up for driving new automobiles within the arcade racing reboot quickly.
Developed by Genki, the sport has earned sturdy important evaluations on PC and PlayStation 5, thanks primarily to its retro-inspired gameplay and Unreal Engine 5.4 visuals. An enormous a part of its success additionally comes from TXR’s in depth lineup of JDM automobiles, which gamers can modify and customise with a legion of branded components.
Nevertheless, the sport’s neighborhood has been clamouring for brand new content material, and it looks as if the Japanese developer is poised to ship simply that, owing to a collaboration with diecast mannequin automotive producer MINI GT.
Though the partnership was initially revealed in May 2026, Genki showcased three MINI GT-liveried automobiles solely final week: the Honda Civic Kind R (FL5) 2022, Toyota Supra RZ (JZA80) 1997, and Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (BRN34). This wasn’t an enormous announcement per se, as all three automobiles already seem in TXR (minus the MINI GT paint schemes, clearly).
Nevertheless, yesterday (twenty third September, 2026), an all-new automotive was showcased as a part of the sport’s MINI GT collaboration, providing one thing completely different to the aforementioned trio. Very completely different.
Datsun
The Datsun Sunny Truck MINI GT RS-02X “Kagami” is a particular one-off present automotive developed between MINI GT and customized design specialists VIMADNESS Studio.
The automotive is a extremely modified model of a humdrum ‘70s Datsun Sunny pickup truck, that includes enormous flared wheel arches, a slammed stance and presumably a fairly tasty motor beneath the bonnet.
On the Tokyo Games Show, the standard road-going Datsun Sunny Truck 1200 Long Body Deluxe (GB121 ‘79) was apparently shown in TXR, maybe indicating it’s set for launch quickly, though it’s unclear whether or not this and the MINI GT automobiles will probably be introduced in separate DLC packs and/or launched as free updates.
The Datsun Sunny Truck final appeared in Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 (Kaido Racer 2), so its rumoured return to the collection will probably be greeted favourably by collection veterans. I imply, it appears unbelievable, so who wouldn’t wish to drive it in-game?
MINI GT has already confirmed it will reproduce some of TXR’s cars in 1/64 scale, though it has but to specify which. Widespread sense dictates that we’ll see the 4 MINI GT-liveried TXR automobiles on the very least.
Apparently, an identical collaboration has resulted in a VIMADNESS-designed 1/64 Hyundai Ioniq 5N GT RS MINI GT mannequin and a life-size present automotive reproduction, however whether or not this will even seem in TXR stays to be seen.
