What it says in the title, have you ever had a google for a specific car and found nothing relevant at all?

I'll start off with the Tom's EP82 Starlet GT Turbo 0-60 4.0.

Only a barren wikipedia article on Tom's returns as a relevant seach result.

IRCC there was something about it once in one of the modded car mags, and perhaps a small bit of information on it in a Gran Turismo game. It was basically built to crack 0-60 in 4 seconds or less from FWD(?) if it is what I think it is.

So what else 'doesn't exist' according to Google?

You can't really expect every single car to be on there - is your own car? The standard EP82 is well-covered, and the TOMS car I assume was a one-off. I don't think you can expect coverage of a one-off, unless it was particularly famous.

I dont expect there to be, i'm just interested in what isnt on there. Because there might be some rare and interesting cars I have never heard of.

I'm sure there are but google is a search engine not an encylopedia.

If there was any information we'd know one way or the other.

Some could be very rare trim levels on dull cars that nobody has cared to link to google.

You're doing it wrong. Loads of results for Tom's EP82.

Or you could go one better:

or check on carview: http://search.carview.co.jp/search.aspx?q=ep82

Ahhh nice, thanks. The model I want to know about is probably lurking somewhere in there....
