The Mooncraft Special MCS 9, also known as the Reynard 89DGC (with the 'GC' suffix standing for Grand Champion), was a Japanese sports prototype race car, used in the Fuji Grand Champion Series, between 1988 and 1989. Based on either the Reynard 89D, or the Lola T88/50 Formula 3000 cars, it was powered by a {{cvt|3.0|L|cuin}} Mugen MF308 V8 engine, and ran on either Bridgestone or Dunlop tires.{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/photo/MCS/9.html|title=MCS 9|access-date=5 February 2023}}
