Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!
In the first chapter/episode of the first series, the Seiba brothers were given the prototype Sabers by Professor Tsuchiya, under the condition that they must modify their Sabers into their own unique machines or else the cars will be taken back. Retsu modified his Saber into the Sonic Saber.
Like his Super Astute Jr. before it, the Sonic Saber is specifically tuned for cornering and acceleration, with flat tires, large rear spoiler, extended front bumper parts and the Torque-Tuned Motor equipped. As such it has better cornering stability compared to Go's Magnum Saber.
The Sonic Saber, along with Magnum Saber, were destroyed all together as both cars fell off the track at Professor Ogami's lab into the lava during the Seiba brothers' race against J's Proto-Saber JB.
In the anime, it was later revealed that Retsu still has the badly-aged Torque-Tuned Motor that the Sonic Saber used in its debut race and use it in his Vanguard Sonic during the Tokichi Cup until it finally stops working.
