Capcom Builds Real Street Fighter Lexus and Plans to Give It Away

October 7, 2026 - 02:55

Capcom has turned a long running joke from its fighting game series into a real, drivable machine. The company recreated the Lexus LS400 featured in Street Fighter II, the same car that appears in the bonus stage where players smash it apart for points. This time, the vehicle is fully assembled, road ready, and headed to one winner along with a cash prize of more than 25,000 dollars.

The original bonus car stage became a fan favorite after its debut in the early 1990s. Players lined up to destroy the sedan with punches and kicks before a timer ran out. Capcom says the new build pays tribute to that moment while giving one person the chance to own a piece of gaming history.

Details on how to enter have not been fully outlined, but the giveaway is expected to draw interest from both car enthusiasts and longtime fans of the franchise. The project follows a trend of game companies turning virtual objects into physical collectibles.

For now, the car stands as a rare crossover between arcade nostalgia and real world automotive design. One winner will soon find out what it feels like to drive a meme that somehow became real.
