The Age Erriso, known as Age Alouette in the Japanese version, is a compact car made by Age, exclusively featured in Rage Racer.
Design and performance[]
It's the smallest car in Class 2, and also the cheapest (at 2,600 cr) and the lightest, with a design which is a mix between the Abarth 1000 TCR (based on Fiat 600) and the Abarth 595 (based on Fiat 500). Power comes from a range of engines, which is as follows:
- In its initial Class 2 specs, it's powered by a 1.0 liter overhead valve inline 4 engine, mated to a 4-speed transmission.
- Class 3 upgrades increased the engine size to 1.3 liter and the transmission is now a 5-speed transmission. Visually, it features an enhanced aerodynamics.
- Class 4 upgrades doesn't feature an engine swap, but rather the Class 3's 1.3 liter is upgraded. The aero's now even more aggressive, featuring wider bumpers and fender flares;
- Its final Class 5 upgrades features extensive modifications: the engine is now a supercharged 1.3 liter double overhead camshaft inline 4 and the bodywork is thoroughly modified.
In contrast to the Lizard Acceron, the Erriso comes with grip tires by default.

Trivia[]
- In class 3 and 4, the car runs with exposed engine cover, similar to the Abarth 1000 TCR, and to an extent, the Complete Machine variant of the Terrazi Wild Gang.
- "Alouette", the car's name in the Japanese version, means a skylark in French. The western name "Erriso" is a corrupt spelling of erizo, which means either hedgehog or sea urchin in Spanish.
- In class 5, the car has its rear end resembling the Ferrari F40, or perhaps even the Assoluto Fatalita.
