LEXUS LF-LC GT “Vision Gran Turismo”

[R5]

can you all just move to the whining and crying thread and let us talk Lexus VGT?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I like how new Lexuses look.

 

[R5]

I like how new Lexuses look.

same actually. They look very good, with a lot of interesting flourishes to them.

 

[super_gt]

You mean promised stuff like Vision GT?

Oddly, Vision GT is well behind schedule - we were supposed to have all "30" after 1 year (just under three a month) and we're not even halfway by 15 months (just under one a month). I say "oddly" as you don't seem to be complaining about that, only about a couple of features they promised in a "future update" along with ten others that have already arrived, by updates.

• KY: “Like the sounds, that is something that we’re rebuilding for GT6. It won’t be the same asGT5.

Go away.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I like how new Lexuses look.

I don't dissagree with that notion, but their grille puts me a bit off. I can't tell why, maybe it's because how Lexus stretches it on some of their new cars. It's agressive sure, but it could be toned down sometimes.

 

[Famine]

New Course Maker

That's one of the 2 remaining things promised to come in a future update at launch, yes. The other is B-Spec. Of the 12 things promised to come in a future update at launch, 83% have been implemented. By update.

It's still odd that you're not complaining about the missed completion date for Vision GT, but hey.

Just leave him be, Famine, you are wasting your breath. He's too thick to understand such a basic issue, I am afraid.

Back on topic, I was quite surprised with such a sudden announcement for the Lexus. Came out of nowhere...

 

[Zlork]

I am still confident that the two remaining features will arrive in GT6 via update.

Otherwise, some pictures of the LF-LC - no VGT -

 

[JKgo]

.........Well, hey, what do you know. A Lexus VGT, eh. Keep'em coming. Again, hopefully it's fully tunable, unlike its Toyota cousin...So far, there are only a couple of teasers so I'll wait for a full reveal for my judgement.

Heh, I do hope that as well. Speaking of that, does the real-life LF concept have clear specs? As in engine data and so on? Because if it does, at least it should have a clear horsepower rating, unlike it's cousin...

 

[AudiMan2011]

Not much is known but the real LF-LC concept was said to be a 500hp V8 hybrid.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Not much is known but the real LF-LC concept was said to be a 500hp V8 hybrid.

That's already a start, the FT-1 doesn't even have a rumored engine. Toyota just told us "try and guess what engine it is, folks!" when they unveiled the original FT-1 concept... Same goes for the VGT version.

Also, have you noticed that this car is yet another white VGT car? Has white become the new grey as the VGT's main colour?

 

[R5]

White is good, and I bet we'd have a choice like the FT-1.

How convenient it is,on the cover nothing promised, in the interviews for the pre orders promised almost everything
Here's how it makes honest and respectable business in the 21st century 👍

 

[Famine]

I'm not quite sure why you quoted lots of references to the course maker and act like it's a massive deal. It's one of the 12 things that were promised in a future update and one of only 2 that hasn't arrived yet.

Here's the official site again - and that was available at the exact same time the game was announced.


So, got any thoughts on the Vision GT car that this thread is about?

 

[RCKakashi14]

I bet it will adopt the same DTM-style rear wing as the FT-1 VGT. But I'm happy to be proven wrong...

On topic, guess the Alpine can wait for this Lexus amrite?

Honestly, can you quit moaning about the game. Some of us actually love GT6, and the new Lexus looks awesome.

Guess so, now we know the reason as to why Alpine and PD agreed to only put the car ingame on the month of March. Because Lexus wanted in too.

Er, why did you have that reaction, forza?

 

[jontikis]

http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_3927583.html

The car looks very super with those headlights I hope it will have a good sound like the Lexus LF-A as well

 

[Aussie_HSV]

I can picture some scenes from this clip appearing in the much loved VGT video that comes with the cars.

 

[FoRiZon]

I can picture some scenes from this clip appearing in the much loved VGT video that comes with the cars.

That can be for the slow mo montage for the beginning. Then they talked about the concept afterwards.

 

[Marc30599]

Ignoring the moans of someone not having a course maker, the Lexus VGT looks beautiful like a reimagined Lexus LFA.

 

[Bo]

VGT-booooooooooooooooring,when you will finish this game KAZ????????
No chance for GT7 to sell well if you leave GT6 unfinished without promised stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear you're the single most annoying, relentless troll currently active on GTP. Either actually post something useful for once, or stop spamming threads with crap. You behave like an attention seeking child in every post you make.

In terms of the car, it looks.. a bit meh. Especially after the Alpine. I hope they make something fairly interesting out of it.

 

[wvmgmidget]

I like this. I hope it gets released soon because my interest in GT6 is fading.

 

[Griffith500]

The rear end of the 1/2π√LC reminds me of:

The VGT definitely looks better with black trim instead of that garish satin / brushed silver look.

I like it so far, not sure why.
