The Kuruma is a vehicle featured in Midnight Club: Street Racing
Description[]
The Kuruma is a brand of vehicle, sporting three different models in Midnight Club: Street Racing. These include the Faasuto GR, the Faasuto GS and the Faasuto GT. They are unlocked through finding the hidden red markers in London.
The Kuruma vehicles are based on the 1994-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, albeit with a longer front end and a shorter back end, they also resemble the Toyota Supra (A80).
Faasuto GR[]
This version of the Kuruma can be unlocked by discovering the hidden red marker inside of a parliament building just west of the players starting location in London. It is yellow in appearance, sporting two stripes, one being white whilst the other is black, on the trunk. It also features several car parts manufacturers decals on both sides, including GReddy and Dimma.
Performance[]
In terms of performance, this is the slowest of the Kuruma's, being bested by both the Faasuto GS and the Faasuto GT in terms of top speed and acceleration. Nonetheless, it trumps the other two models with its strong handling abilities.

Faasuto GS[]
This version of the Kuruma can be unlocked by using the jump just south of the players starting location in London. The player must use this jump to access the building across the street from it. It is dark grey in appearance, bearing stripes in red, black and light grey near the back tire.
Performance[]
In terms of performance, it is the strongest of the three models, beholding a balanced variety of speed and handling. Although it is ousted by the Faasuto GR in terms of handling, and the Faasuto GT in terms of acceleration and top speed, its combination of both abilities makes up for it.

Faasuto GT[]
This version of the Kuruma can be unlocked by accessing the brick red building on the east side of London. The player must go slightly off the jump, where they can pass through the red marker. The car is lime green in appearance, featuring a white tear design along both sides of the car. It features a few sponsors, including Top Secret and Trial.
Performance[]
When discussing its performance, one aspect of this model that comes to mind would be the overall speed of the vehicle. This model can obtain speeds that outdo those produced by the Zender, the vehicles driven by the World Champion. Both its top speed and acceleration are highly superior to its counterparts. However, due to this ability, the handling suffers greatly. Keeping this vehicle in control can be a difficult task.

Trivia[]
- The car's name is a Japanese transliteration of the phrase "fast car". "Faasuto" is how a Japanese individual would pronounce the English word "fast", whereas "Kuruma", derived from the English term, means "car" in Japanese.
- The [Kuruma] name was later reused in Grand Theft Auto, another Rockstar game, with it's first appearance being in Grand Theft Auto III. It was demoted to a model name instead, however.
- Its selection sound was reused in Midnight Club II for the Vortex 5.
- In the game files of Midnight Club II, there is a leftover model of the Faasuto GT, named vp_mitsuclassc, with many textures missing. It was possibly used as a test bed for playable vehicles during the game's development.
