If you thought the Ikusa GT couldn't get any cooler, you were wrong! Custom Samurai artwork and extra boost power to help you carve up the opposition.
The Nakamura Ikusa Samurai is the upgraded version of the Ikusa GT. The vehicle sports a cool looking samurai-style paint job (hence the name). This version is also heavier than the Ikusa GT which helps with its handling around the long bends in the mountains, where it excels. If players get put on a straightaway during a race with this car, they will be in trouble due to the car's poor acceleration. The extra weight also decreases its effectiveness in Stunt Run events which makes the more dangerous Stunts harder to complete. Thus, it is even more of a "drifter" than than the normal Ikusa GT. Keep in the drift and e-brake turns, and remember that it is slightly better on straightaways.
