Eagle MkIII
The Eagle MkIII is a sports prototype racing car built by All American Racers in 1991 to IMSA GTP specifications. Powered by a turbocharged Toyota inline-4 engine, the car was campaigned in the IMSA Camel GT series by Dan Gurney's Toyota-sponsored AAR team from 1991 through to the end of 1993.〔 The Eagle MkIII won 21 out of the 27 races in which it was entered and is considered one of the most successful and technologically advanced designs of the IMSA GTP era — "a car that proved so overwhelmingly dominant that the class for which it was created has now been assigned to history", according to ''Racer'' magazine.〔(Toyota Eagle MkIII ), Mulsanne's Corner〕〔(Eagle MkIII GTP ), quoted from RACER magazine〕

From 1989 through 1991, AAR campaigned the Eagle HF89 (also known as the MkII〔), the team's first in-house, race-ready IMSA GTP design. While some success was had with the HF89 and its HF90 evolution, the chassis had a very small margin for setup error — in the words of driver Juan Manuel Fangio II, "When we were in the window, the car was good in every way, but out of the window, the car was not right at all."〔Martin, J.A. & Fuller, M.J. ''Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars: The Prototype Experience''. Motorbooks, 2008.〕 It was clear to the team that a clean-sheet design was needed to significantly advance the chassis and provide the best platform for competing against the Nissan and Jaguar factory entries.
