AE86, Porsche 962C and more leaked by PD, coming to GTS!?

[LotusEvoraGTE]

I don't suppose you guys have any larger versions of those screenshots? The GTP news site really needs images over 800px wide, and the largest images I'm seeing here are up to 800px wide but include all the framing of your desktop, tabs, taskbar etc.

Unfortunately not, I've got a very measly 1280x800 (13inch) resolution on my laptop so that's about as large as I could get in the spur of the moment before PD got rid of any traces of those leaked cars on the website, sorry.

 

[Guffaluff]

Loving this! With the alleged future addition of the 962C, I really hope that Group C gets it's own category in the game. Don't think that's too far fetched considering the SuperGT cars had their own category with only 3 cars.

 

[CallawaySS]

Damn, I feel kind of sad for polyphony now they wanted to surprise us, but before they could, it was already leaked tbh the car that I'm looking forward to try the most would be that AE86

 

[GBalao888]

Pretty much sure since the 1988 Porsche 962c was leaked, I'm sure they'll use the longtail (Langheck) version in the Dunlop livery, like the one in Forza 7. And you know the deal: Group C = Gr. 1.

I am afraid not. Although I can do a screenshot on a 5K Mac if you're interested

 

[SUPRASTAR0003]

These cars will probably be added at the end of April.

Makes me happy, looking forward to see more Gr.1!

Shame we couldn't find out if there was an unannounced track accidentally leaked on the website as well.
Started frantically looking for one through 'Race Photos' and 'Replays', but to no avail.

Imagine if we found out the next track as well at the same time as these cars.

To be honest, I'm quite happy we don't know now. That would mean we have to wait until May to know the "next" track.

962 is the Le Mans car of my era. So hyped for that one.

Where is the difference to the 956 Rothmans or are these the same?

Easter EGG ?

Guys look at this, PD is obviously preparing Hachiroku - Sprinter Trueno 3door 1600GT APEX (AE86) '83 to be in the game.

the legend is coming back! lets deliver some tofu!

Really hope it's this. So, we can have the wider tyres for mock N2 series:

 

[RedRockValley]

I really hope they give the 86 the speed warning chime!

 

[xxy98cn]

Every new Porsche will be exciting.
Even the dullest Chinese-market-targeted sedan would be exciting.

I keep losing hope on the LFA by each update

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well good discovery people!

Whilst i am very happy to have the Lancia added with the current update today I'm equally happy to see three of my favourites in this
list. The Trueno was my car I started my Gran Turimso experience with and the Renault 8 I like because I always liked early Renault's
from that era.

The third one is the Porsche 962, got a few livery idea's in mind for that one!

For example, Porsche Intelligent Performance on 919 14'?

The 962 is essentially a development of the 956. The primary difference is the wheelbase, with Porsche moving the front axle line forwards - the 956 didn't meet safety regulations as the pedal box was actually ahead of the front axle - and a steel roll cage integrated within the aluminium monocoque. The engine is slightly different too, and as this is the 1988 car it'll be a 3.0 twin turbo instead of the 2.6 single turbo.

My favourite 962 thing is how it won the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans. There were new rules - as often happened in the 1990s as the FIA was trying to push F1 and prototypes together - which required race cars based on production road cars to enter GT1. One of the 962 race teams, Dauer, had converted some 962s for road use (13 in total, eventually), and they were barely road legal. There were some differences in the body panels and floor, and Dauer fitted hydraulic suspension to make the ride height meet minimum standards. As it was a production car, Porsche picked up a couple of Dauer 962s, undid the changes and took first and third.

 

[PSN:And-War]

Wow this is a great find good job

 

[queleuleu]

So many cool cars, the next GT could be epic. The classic mix of racing cars, classic and cheap cars.

 

[OJT6627]

What if, instead of presenting the hidden silhouettes as before, PD is now intentionally showcasing/leaking cars from future updates to hype up the players?

 

[JarreauPique]

First the Stratos and now the Gordini. Both cars I had in my wishlist for a long time and they are coming so soon after eachother. So happy right now and I’m very much looking forward to the other cars. Get me that 962 and AE86, going to enjoy my drives with those cars.

 

[Fabr_123]

Porsche 962C, wow!! Next update is gonna be good. My question is: Could Gr.C finally be a class? Please PD, let these beasts race against each other!!

 

[Randombeef]

I’m the same hoping for the civic! But they’ll come. Eventually. They are iconic cars at the end of the day.

I personally love how one of its features is, wait for it, a DVD Player. Sure, Totally want to set back and enjoy Jurassic park whilst my spine is fully compressed

My thoughts exactly. We already have four Group C cars (Nissan, Mercedes, Jaguar, Mazda), so with the Porsche supposedly coming too, we have 5 cars from that era. I feel like that definitely warrants a category on its own (Gr.C), where these beasts can run free and not shackled by the BoP!

So am I, but I'm hoping for the the Silvia. I agree with Randombeef about them coming eventually. Since the AE86 got leaked, the 1996 S14 K's Aero aka the S14 Kouki should be next after the AE86.

Might have a try but not really done something complex yet.

 

[GTracer25]

Yeee the Honda Fit is back

 

[veryferry]

Boring...

 

[RaY29rus]

I wonder if we will be forced to buy Fit
again
