The Lucky & Wild Wisdom is a sports car manufactured by Lucky & Wild (previously Lizard). It first debuted in Ridge Racer Type 4 and returned in Ridge Racer 3D and Ridge Racer Vita.
Ridge Racer Type 4[]
The Lizard Wisdom in R4: Ridge Racer Type 4.
In Ridge Racer Type 4, this car was featured as Lizard's mid-range Stage 2 machine. It features low-slung and sleek bodywork that resembles the second generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) and is powered by a powerful 5.0 liter V8 engine, mated to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration and handling characteristics are better than the Detector thanks to a lighter weight.
The following is a translated transcription of the car featured in the Japanese Ridge Racer Type 4 - Namco Official Guide Book R4:
Plump beauty that fascinates extreme running.
The Wisdom, nicknamed "Glamorous Baby." Its characteristic is the front nose with a unique design. It has a very plump body line, but it is surprisingly compact, which is the reason for its given nickname "Glamorous Baby". The raised hip line is also attractive. It's no wonder that it always boasts top-class sales among many American companies. However, unlike the name, the drift duplication is radical. The V-type engine, which has matured over the years, has strong torque, and combined with a compact body, you can enjoy agile driving. The long front nose does not spoil the run, so you want to enjoy drifting with the accelerator fully open.
Ridge Racer 3D[]
Renamed the Lucky & Wild Wisdom in Ridge Racer 3D, the machine features modernized bodywork and an aerodynamic bodykit to complete the look. Power comes from a V8 engine mated to a 6-speed transmission. It is basically a modernized Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C2), most notably for its "codatronca" rear section and windows. It also has a very similar body shape to the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.
Trivia[]
- A special Japan-Exclusive IDOLM@STER livery is available as a DLC in Ridge Racer (PS Vita).
- Lucky & Wild may have acquired the rights to the Wisdom following Lizard's liquidation, following their bankruptcy.
- The R4 Wisdom has a front grille that resembles the grille style adopted on Dodge cars.
