"Une course folle s'achève et pour la première fois, la Project D l'emporte contre un pilote pro grâce à l'incroyable performance de Takumi. Mais alors que celui-ci médite sur sa victoire au volant de sa 86, un bolide surpuissant le prend en chasse puis le dépasse avec aisance avant de disparaitre mystérieusement.

Plus tard, au cours d'essais techniques, surgit un nouveau coureur, arrogant et sûr de lui, qui défie la Project D sur son propre terrain."
