Theres really no excuse for why they have them rendered and not put them in the game.They all look very detailed too
These interiors are rough design sketches which are prone to change over time, so they're not final products. That's why the BMW M4 had a black interior initially - BMW wasn't through finalizing the design, so they didn't want an incorrect interior in the game.Theres really no excuse for why they have them rendered and not put them in the game.

It was actually mentioned in a news post a while back. I'd find it, but I'm not gonna go digging through hundreds of news posts just to find one.
VGT cars with actual in game interiors not shownWhat about the 2X?
If I had to choose 2...
The BMW and the Mazda, because best representation of 'racing car' interiors, imo.
(a.k.a no frilly wheels or color, just pure business with cages & switches 👍)

I don't really believe that "interior not ready" story
Some of these interiors are not even 3D, they're plain 2D drawings.
I guess PD doesn't do the CAD for VGTs, they probably receive everything done, and if there isn't available data for modeled interiors (made by manufacturers) then PD are not allowed to create them from scratch, or based on drawings.
It's a different story with "real" cars, as they have interior CAD available, and even when that info doesn't exist (older cars) PD can laser scan them, if they want to.

I think you're right and I think the VGT's are taking longer than expected to complete as well. Some are done, some are not done, but I don't think they want to create a situation where some are released with interiors and some without because they aren't ready, or can't be sure they'll complete all the interiors on all cars by their launch date. I think you'll see all the interiors come in one big update down the road, maybe in GT7.I think PD are fully capable of (and allowed to) model interiors based on drawings and photos. The issue is probably that it would take too much time and that only part of the car modelling staff is assigned to the VGT cars, so in order to speed up the process they simply skip the interiors when they can do so. Because out of all the VGT cars that have been released so far it's strange if no one had an interior designed for them.
Maybe I'm wrong but Mitsubishi, for instance, looks kind of painted to me. I guess some (not all) VGT designers never really bothered to develop any interior concept at all. In car design it seems to be two separate teams: one creating interior and the other doing the outside looks.
I find it weird that PD would have to design VGTs interiors without any digital data, either from CAD or from laser scan. Some of theses VGTs have real-size counterparts, but others don't. If you don't have neither the digital data nor physical one, can you actually do whatever you want without permission? And even if PD were allowed to, it's not their job to design cars for other companies (except in a project of their own, like the RBX), they just get cars created by others, from all over the world, and put them inside a video game.
Mercedes-Benz team created an interior, there are beautiful 2D paintings on the web, but question is: that real-size model that was built has a fully detailed interior, including fabric, leather, plastic, colors and so on? Or is it just a fake wheel, two regular seats and a basic console, with tinted glass to hide it's lack in details? I've never seen that car with open doors and I would really like to. Is there CAD for that interior?
A couple of cars have interior, both roadsters. Is it because PD guys were not too "lazy" concerning these two specific ones? Because they would look strange with that black cardboard, being no top cars? Or because data was sento to them to work with? I don't know.
