Design and performance

The Aquila assumes a streamlined appearance and features a large canopy. It's powered by a 6.0 liter flat-12 engine, and it can reach speeds of over 320 km/hour. Power is transmitted through a 6-speed transmission. On R4's branch system, it sits at the lower end of Stage 4.

The following is a translated transcription of the car featured in the Japanese Ridge Racer Type 4 - Namco Official Guide Book R4:

The horizontally opposed engine is the pride of Italian sports cars.

The Aquila is characterized by its imitational design and horizontally opposed engine with a unique sound and unique rolling. The horizontally-opposed engine has a piston and is familiar for Italian sports cars, especially the ones with high power called supercars, but it requires a very delicate setting since is also known as being dull. The Aquila also boasts a spec of 6,000cc, 12 cylinders, and a maximum horsepower of around 600, which can be said to be the result of repeated aging in the Rondine. When driving in the Aquila, you want to be especially aware of its "younger brother". Coupled with the styling, it's a machine that makes you feel especially fast.
