Future GPX Cyber Formula
Motorsport taken to its technological extreme is the premise of Future GPX Cyber Formula, a 1991 anime series from studio Sunrise. In its near future, drivers pilot AI-assisted machines at speeds far beyond anything on a real circuit, with the car's onboard intelligence acting as a partner rather than a tool. At the centre of the story is young driver Hayato Kazami, who finds himself behind the wheel of Asurada, an intelligent machine that learns and grows alongside him. More than three decades on, the series is remembered above all for its vehicle designs. Machines such as the Asurada G.S.X, the Super Asurada 01, the Knight Savior 005 and the Missionel VR-4 remain some of the most admired racing silhouettes in anime, which is exactly why they keep returning as collectibles.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Zero Variant's range centres on the Heritage Edition line of vehicle replicas by MegaHouse, finished display models that celebrate the machines themselves:
- Asurada G.S.X in Aero Mode
- Knight Savior 005
- Missionel VR-4
- Super Asurada 01, presented as a set with the Sugo Legard 10V5000
- A three-pack for collectors who want to build a grid in one step
The range also features Variable Action Hi-Spec United machines born from the collaboration between threezero and MegaHouse: the Asurada G.S.X RS Siren and an ultimate rendition of the Super Asurada 01, both redesigned by threezero creative director Kelvin Sau to mark the series' 35th anniversary.
These are display pieces rather than build-it-yourself kits, designed to put the series' engineering fantasy straight onto your shelf.
Why Collectors Love It
Here the vehicles are the stars. Each machine has its own stance, livery and personality, from the sleek lines of the Asurada lineage to the distinctive shapes of rival teams, so a shelf of Cyber Formula replicas reads like a paddock of characters. The racing drama holds up too: fierce rivalries, the pressure on a young driver finding his feet and the unusual bond between a racer and the intelligence built into his car. It is a series with genuine crossover appeal, loved by anime fans and by anyone who simply appreciates beautiful vehicle design.
