Race suspension, fast response, and one tactical surprise

The Supra wheels reduce unsprung weight while preserving grip and control across the course. The integrated EMP adds a unique competitive tool, but the driver still has to manage braking, surface changes, and the line through every corner.

Origin performance made for the track

The G12r gives up the touring and combat equipment of its siblings to focus on speed. Its value appears over a whole lap, where acceleration and presentation mean little if the chassis cannot remain composed through changing terrain.

Development note: The G12r is currently in long-term production. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

G12r's performance systems

The G12r turns the altimari Supra wheel system into repeatable lap time through precise control and stable response across the course.

Competition suspension

Track-focused tuning supports quicker direction changes and more predictable response at racing speeds.

Integrated EMP

An onboard electromagnetic system gives the G12r a tactical option during competitive driving.

High-speed control

Steering, braking, and chassis response are built around carrying speed across a complete course.

G12r's launch response

The fastest start is useful only if the vehicle remains settled for the first turn.

Mid-corner control on the G12r

The pilot uses light inputs to keep the vehicle stable through the fastest sections.

The G12r Supra wheel and EMP package

A durable lightweight wheel package is designed to maintain grip while reducing the mass the suspension has to control.

Altimari Supra wheel system

Launch Launching the G12r

Use the altimari Supra wheel system to build speed without compromising the G12r's position for the first turn.

Carry pace Carry speed through linked corners

Use smooth control inputs to carry the speed from the altimari Supra wheel system through linked corners and gates.

Review Review the altimari Supra wheel system after each run

Check heat, damage, and control response after the run before asking more from the altimari Supra wheel system.

Ground Racer in action

The G12r rewards a pilot who can use the altimari Supra wheel system across the whole course rather than chasing one impressive burst of speed.

  1. Tune response for the surface ahead

    The pilot tunes the G12r for repeated acceleration and control across the full lap.

  2. Control the G12r's launch acceleration

    The G12r leaves the start with enough control to choose the first line instead of correcting into it.

  3. Turn the G12r's handling into consistent lap speed

    The G12r's pilot keeps the altimari Supra wheel system usable by linking each braking point to the next acceleration zone.

  4. Review the run before adjusting the G12r

    The next setup follows what the timer and the G12r's response showed on the course.

G12r's performance hardware in detail

The G12r combines its altimari Supra wheel system with low mass, predictable controls, and stable braking so the pilot can carry speed through the whole course.

01 Origin cockpit

A polished driving position keeps controls and race information clear without abandoning the brand's premium presentation.

02 Dedicated racing role

The G12r prioritizes performance rather than the cargo or heavier combat equipment found on other G12 models.

03 G12r power delivery

The pilot feels the G12r's power most clearly while linking braking, rotation, and acceleration.

04 Tire grip and steering on the G12r

The G12r depends on predictable steering and traction as the course moves between loose and firm ground.

The G12r turns preparation into repeatable speed

Lap time depends on setup, smooth inputs, braking, and choosing a clean line.

Carry the G12r's speed through the technical sectors

The pilot sets up the G12r's altimari Supra wheel system for the course, then links braking, steering, and acceleration into a faster lap.

Setup Use the difficult section to guide setup

The pilot tunes the G12r around braking, heat, fuel, and the parts of the course that are hardest to repeat.

Line Use clean inputs to preserve speed

The G12r's pilot records braking, line, heat, and control changes separately so the next setup solves the right problem.

Review Find the section where the G12r lost time

On the G12r, after the run, the pilot reviews braking points, line choice, and how the altimari Supra wheel system behaved before adjusting the setup.
