Sports Type 1

TODO: Replace ALL images taken in PCSX2 due to Hardware Mode muting reflections as well as some PostFX.

The Sports Type 1 as the name implies is the first vehicle in the Sports Class featured in Burnout 3: Takedown, and Burnout: Legends. It is unlocked upon being awarded a bronze medal in the Coupe GP.

Iteration 1 (Original Model)
The Sports Type 1 is thought to be one of the earliest vehicles made for Burnout 3 to be seen in the lineup, featuring excessive detail unlike any model seen in the retail game. The first known iteration of the car is a clear take on the Veilside Fortune Toyota MR-S, and is only seen in one video, the Crash + Burn trailer. The rest of its appearances are made within promotional screenshots of the game divided among many game news sites. The first iteration of the model was discarded periodically around April, and was repurposed as the final Sports Type 3, reintroduced to the game around June.

Iteration 2
The second iteration is introduced sometime between April and late May 2004. This seems to sport differences seen from both the final and original model of the car, but it's only ever seen in a single promotional image that went unused entirely. It was initially posted on Twitter by Alex Ward but it was recovered at some point after his page was closed.

Iteration 3
The 3rd iteration of the car was likely introduced in late May, and was seen in footage from around June 2004. It can be found in the files of the Japanese Standalone Demo for Burnout 3.

Iteration 4
The fourth iteration is seen in the vehicle's garage icon sporting mostly retail elements with a larger rear vent as well as the iteration 3 front bumper. It is unknown if this was an icon edit to cover up the marginal differences in models, or if this was an iteration seen any development point of the game, as it is not featured in any known promotional media. At the fifth iteration it was met with its final form. The vehicle is known to have lost 2 colors in development including Yellow, and Grey.
