17 Years Later, The Porsche 911 GT3 (996) Car Is Finally Coming to Gran Turismo

[PettyWingman]

The price of NSX Type R '92 was Cr. 97,070 in GT6.

I just noticed that the 996 GT3 has a full cage instead of the usual roll bar, which is weird. Why would they do that?

It's kazunori's car,

Oh yeah you are right. I remember 80K from GT5. But in GT6 it's higher because it's not a used car there anymore.

 

[FRR35H]

I will probably try that at some point.

I have too many consoles to go out and fork out cash for a steering for each one. This solved it for a fraction of the cost. I use my G27 on my PC, PS3, PS4 and XBox One. I'm pretty sure it works on my PS2 also IIRC.

The eye watering price tags are what have scared me off of wheels in general, regardless of whether they'll remain confined to one platform or not. Using a wheel would be fun but I don't have a good setup for one.

Also, I hope the NSX Type R is a six figure car in game so it's eligible for you know what.

Finally, we are seeing some new Porsches for the first time with the 997 GT3 and the (in)famous 996 GT3.

As for people suggesting the Alfa 156 TC, BMW 320i ETCC and the Lexus IS200 GT-1, they could be shoved into Gr.4, since the former two are obviously Touring Cars, while for the IS200, well, it could be a Mégane Trophy beater for all intents and purposes.

They would all be fun entries into Group 4. Especially the Lexus.​

Wow, still so expensive...

Using a wheel has changed me for racing games. I can't go back to a controller. There are some cheap solutions for wheel setups. Even some DIY setups that won't hurt the wallet.

I've been dreaming of a Premium '92 Type R since the '02 got that treatment in GT5 around 8 years ago. Can't wait to put 100 miles on it, day one.

The biggest news for me is that the 996 and 997 GT3s will be manuals. Those of us rocking wheels with shifters will cream our pants. I was hoping for the manual 911R and Cayman GT4 street version, but this is certainly welcome news! PD please bring in some air-cooled goodness too! (hint: 2.7 RS with ducktail! RWB 993! Singer DLS!)

 

[ShiftingGears]

I like the 996, i think Porsche was brave enough to try something new and succeeded, in my opinion. Obviously, I'm part of a minority group.
To me, the 964 is the best looking 911 generation, followed by the 991 gen.

The crux of the issue is that PDs output is slow, so there is less chance that each update will include cars that people like. More (non duplicates) is more.

Seeing this, I was surprised that Kaz still owns his 996 and it remains stock condition.
And when GTS had old cars, I thought this car may be coming...

The dream now came true!!

Wow, he must like it A LOT.

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems like it's the Clubsport version.

All the better for a Cup series. Just hope the suspension is extra tight. I'm talking Gr. 4 tight. The 991 GT2 squats, dives and rolls too much for me.

It will be around 80K. But, if we get 2002 version too, that will cost around 120K.

The kei cars got a bit of a discount in price. I'd like the price higher because it's classic status similar to the E30. That could have been a 50k car, but it's one of those icons. Sure, the GT-Rs can be seen as icons as well. It's just the NSX-R is the first Type R.

I'll say, when the hakosuka, Ken-Meri and ZG arrive, they'll get prices in the Toyota 2000GT range.

I'd love to use a wheel but I'm not willing to spend the money. And I don't know how to have a good setup. I'd be stuck putting it on a coffee table.

My first setup was literally 3 pieces of pressboard nailed together, and my couch. Believe me when I say that a FFB wheel hooked onto literal garbage, is about a 20,000% improvement over a controller. Do what you need to do to get a wheel.

My $0.02

 

[FRR35H]

My first setup was an Ikea table. Simple, cheap and did the trick until I got this:

I got it for free from work basically through a rewards program. Absolutely fantastic piece of equipment!

I have the means to get a wheel, I just don't want one because I'm dumb.

 

[WyldAnimal]

That's absolutely awesome news, and the 997 version as well!

The decision to get a wheel for my PS4 and not my XBO seems entirely justified right now.

Get a Fanatec CSL E for PS4, it's PS4, PC, and Xbox compatible.
Or get the Drive Hub adapter, it makes all Supported Wheels, both PS4 and Xbox compatible..

If someone has VR, maybe they can check the glovebox for a spare air freshener. Also check for wear on the steering wheel and shift knob.

I have VR, definitely gonna be chucking it round the 'Ring for a few laps when it arrives! I'll let you know if the steering wheel is worn

 

[huiop2]

No, Logitech make the G29 into a G920 for Xbox for that reason.

Although you can use both versions on a PC

Thank you mod

 

[zlays]

This one!

 

[Epic B]

We do need more Porsches, and I hope one day we will have the extremely fast 2018 911 GT2RS, so far this car has been a Forza Franchise "exclusive".

Even if we can't there are a lot of cars that should come to the Porsche roster. Like the 918 or the 962.

 

[PettyWingman]

I got an info that 997.2 GT3 made its debut in 2009.

...Yes, in GTS, it's currently referred as a '08 car.
Is this a mistake?

 

[OJT6627]

Also, I hope the NSX Type R is a six figure car in game so it's eligible for you know what.

Knowing how big of a troll PD can be sometimes, they're gonna make it 99k Cr.

Probably.

​

If it is, THEN, even I'll start doing it.

The NSX? Assuming it's expensive enough it could potentially take on the money grind in N200.

Of course. One the most anticipated in-car views of the GT franchise. Can't wait.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I need to suck it up and drop $200 for the VR goggles...

As for a cheap rig, look into Playseat Challenge. I got mine for around $180 picked up during Black Friday sales. The T300 Alcantara wheel was around $300 as well.

I doubt the NSX will cost much. Under 200k credits would be reasonable.

 

[IngRobNy]

This should confirm that we are getting the new cars and Fuji Speedway GT on wednesday :

 

[pedrocor]

Is Game Shark obligatory for the new update?

No.

In GT3 the Porsche 996 GT3 was available only by Game Shark cheat, that's all, nothing to do with GTS.

The 997.2 came out in 2008* - but in US terms that's a 2009 model year.

(*Although the GT3 version probably didn't come out at the same time)
