Tenrai

**Tenrai**is a fanonical Japanese manufacturer appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* and *MotorStorm: Outback Outrage*. The manufacturer mainly produces medium-sized vehicles, along with several Dakar-spec Mud Pluggers.

A majority of their vehicles are based off of 80's or 90's Nissan cars, with the exception of a few Mitsubishi, Datsun, and Subaru vehicles. Their vehicles are highly desirable, but most models are illegal to own in the U.S. whether due to not meeting the requirements of the 1988 Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act or compliance with emission standards. Most of the time, if the blacklisted models of Tenrai vehicles are imported into the U.S. they will almost immediately be seized by federal agents and be crushed.

The corporation was founded in 1932.

## Trivia

* The fact that Tenrai vehicles are illegal to import into America is a play on how the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 and Nissan Silvia S15 are not allowed to be imported into the U.S.
* Tenrai is the beta manufacturer name of the Saloon GT in the original *Burnout*.
* The *Nogaro* series of Mud Pluggers are all based upon the 1985-2003 Mitsubishi Pajero rally raid vehicles.
* Despite the Nissan GT-R, which is the Tenrai Kaiju's inspiration, is actually sold in the U.S. it is still *illegal* to import a Tenrai Kaiju into the United States, much to the outrage of every car enthusiast in the states.
* The *Xylem* series of vehicles are obviously based upon Nissan's Skyline GT-R platform of sports cars, which are quite popular tuner cars.
