"
CAR OF THE DECADE "
The EAGLE MK III Toyota was voted the
car of the decade by On Track Magazine. In On Track’s opinion, the Eagle
MK-III was the last of the greatest era of cars in sports car
history (GTP) and arguably the greatest Eagle produced by All American
Racers.
Designed by John Ward and Hiro Fujimori, the
car demonstrated amazing performance for a 2.1 liter, four cylinder
Toyota. Driven by Juan Manuel Fangio II to 2 Drivers and 2 Manufacturers
Championships (1992-1993), the Eagle MK III won 23 of the 27 races it entered (17 in a row) and still holds
the outright track records at Daytona International Raceway (Road
Course) Time 1:33.875 / 136.521 mph (PJ Jones) and Lime Rock Park -
Time: 43.112 / 128.595 mph (PJ Jones).
