Trivia[]

This car was used as a Stand-in for Ishida's Testarossa in the Japanese versions Maximum Tune 3DX and 3DX+.
- However, due to licensing issues overseas regarding Gemballa, it was changed to a Subaru Alcyone SVX in the Export versions.
  - Despite the change, the loading screen sprite can still be found in the Export versions ofMaximum Tune 3DX and 3DX+, but go unused.
The Avalanche oddly does not have Ishida's name in the game's files, likely to not spoil who drives it.
Whilst Ishida did change to a Corvette ZR1 in Maximum Tune 4, there's unused models, tutorial screens and early loading screens that showed Ishida driving an RUF RGT (the replacement for the Avalanche in Maximum Tune 4 - 5DX+).^[1]
