Official Descriptions
English
- "Wicked Games Tak's lack of confidence is tested even further when a mysterious Impreza overtakes him on the road. Meanwhile, the fire between Iggy and Kazumi seems to grow stronger with every date…but when a suitor from her past arrives on the scene, will Iggy find himself out in the cold? Finally, Project D’s next opponent and will do whatever it takes to come out on top--even if it means endangering the lives of Tak and the others!"
- ―Tokyopop[2]
- "The next stage is coming... Tak may be undefeated on paper, but this may all change once he goes head-to-head against a mysterious Impreza. Wondering who is behind the wheel should be the least of his problems as he's about to be in a face-off against the 4WD Evo! To remain the Project D champion, Tak must push his limits."
- ―Kodansha USA[3]
French
- "Usant de sa technique de disparition et d'une détermination sans faille, Takumi a finalement pu passer en tête la ligne d'arrivée face au pilote-mercenaire engagé par la team de Sadamine. La course en montée voit désormais s'affronter la Levin de Wataru, plus réactive que jamais grâce à son compresseur mécanique, et la FD de Keisuke, au turbocompresseur redoutable. Pourtant, ce n'est pas la puissance des bolides qui va faire la différence dans ce battle de longue haleine, mais bien l'endurance des street racers au coeur de cette véritable guerre des nerfs !"
