Galleria Ferrari in Maranello, Italy has these cars since years. The have playstation inside and are there for kids to play. This one probably comes from there.

@PJ: No, it doesn’t have any force feedback that I can tell, and as Watevaman pointed out, for the same amount of money you can get a pretty serious cockpit to “slap you in the face”. I think that makes the origins of this thing all the more mysterious…who would spend that kind of money on something when they could get so much more? Perhaps it’s someone who is too spoiled to realize what is actually out there? As I said, we may never know…

@bigracer: I know what you mean, GT isn’t about F1 cars, but you’ve got to admit it’s pretty great to have these as options. Can you imagine a full F1 game produced by Polyphony Digital? It would be incredible…

To me, Gran Turismo is about GT cars. An F1 car has absolutely nothing to do with that. A GT car would be some Ferrari (tho not a too recent one), an Aston Martin, a Porsche. So I’d say skip all true racing cars from the game and bring in more Gran Turismo cars :)

Oh come on. You can buy sim cockpits for that price that slap you in the face if you even tap a wall. This is just a cheap car that doesn’t work.

That plus a big screen and an F2007 at suzuka would make my life. Does it work at all? Vibrations when you crash? Nothing? Just a paper machete ferrari f1 with a wheel in it?

I thought of the same thing! but I’m not mad because I thought of other ideas too.

I bet people who buy stuff like this aren’t interested in a cheap second hand car.
It’s more like a choice between a new watch or this ;)

Also at that price I could buy a good second hand car and insure it. Thats a total waste of money

INSANITY!!! I’d love to put a Logitech G25 in there and load up the F2007 on Suzuka. A giant projection screen in the front of it would do the trick as well.
