In the manga and anime
Spoiler alert!
This section of the article may contains details concerning the progression of the plot. If you do not want it to be spoiled for you, skip this section! |
In the first chapter/episode of the first series, the Seiba brothers were given the prototype Sabers by Dr. Tsuchiya, under the condition that they must modify their Sabers into their own unique machines or else the cars will be taken back. Go modified his Saber into the Magnum Saber.
Like his Manta Ray Jr. before it, the Magnum Saber is specifically tuned for high-speed performance, with lightweight wheels, flat rear spoiler, high gear set (presumely the 5:1 gear ratio) and Rev-Tuned Motor equipped. Naturally, this car has poor balance and cornering stability.
Additionally, it lacked downforce, which is what both Dr. Tsuchiya and later Ryo Takaba criticized about. However, it turns out that the lacks of downforces has provide the car with special effect as Go developed a special technique, the Magnum Tornado.
The Magnum Saber, along with Sonic Saber, were destroyed all together as both cars were fell off the track at Dr. Ogami's lab into the lava during the Seiba brothers' race against J's Proto-Saber JB.
Go was somehow managed to salvage the badly-damaged Rev-Tuned Motor that the Magnum Saber used and use it in his Victory Magnum during the Tokichi Cup until it finally stops working.
