Not sure I like it haha Maybe if they made amphibious 🙃

I'd rather the X1/9, but this is cool just the same.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Wow! What an oddity! I look forward to driving it in two to eight years!

 

[ferhound]

Its crazy Gran Turismo the game has a prize named after it.

 

[HarVee]

Hopefully it drives better than it looks.

 

[praiano63]

This was my christmas gift 1969 or 1970. I remember the perfects parking slots maneuvers i did with this little wheel.

I love getting the occasional odd-ball cars. Kinda has become one of those things you expect to see in GT games, so it fits.

Though, impossible to get excited for it when Pebble Beach cars take so long to get added to the game.

I'm not sure what purpose those extra lights serve other than to blind you every time you check your blind spot.

Still, could be a sporty little thing to drive:

"with a larger, 1.1-liter engine good for around 55hp"

Perhaps not 😂

I'd rather the X1/9, but this is cool just the same.

I'd rather production cars over concept cars 99 times out of 100 to be honest.

 

[RobertHammer]

I like concept cars , see my profile picture i want that back

 

[Marty_Debiru]

Great! We will see it added on patch 17 of Gran Turismo 9

 

[Racer93]

So that's what happens when a boat has a baby with a car.

Looking forward to drive it in GT 9, I bet it'll bring the first amphibian races to the franchise.

I don’t mind oddball winners. So long as the 512S is due in-game soon! The 917K is such a great car. We need the 512S along with ‘70’s Endurance events.

The 512S is definitely my most awaited Pebble Beach car, such a gorgeous car.

Wow! What an oddity! I look forward to driving it in two to eight years!

Yeah! I'm sure it will be a blast in Gran Turismo 8 for PlayStation 12!

Well 5 cars what are still not in the game

 

[Famine]

still

Yeah, bit of a reach with that last one given that it was announced as the winner only seven hours ago.

 

[RacingFan1]

Seems a bit like a Lancia Stratos without the roof part

 

[TonySSS]

To think that last year I actually saw and took pictures of this car in person in an italian museum full of all the other auctioned Bertone designed cars, satisfies me a lot knowing that car will eventually end up in 7 or a future GT title (8 or another spin off after SPORT), really loved seeing it in the metal in person, its design striked me a lot which I adore so much.

 

[Sunzi]

Looks like it should be something out of an old Bond movie.

 

[JMR450]

I like unique and obscure cars but this one is not really noteworthy for me even though I really like the X1/9. I am genuinely pleased though, to see people embracing it here. Usually obscure or odd cars get a bit of hard knocks by most so it pleases me to see the favorable responses. Oddball cars can be cool.

 

[SestoScudo]

Italians do the best concept cars. I hope more of them come into the game.

 

[danimac]

Uh cool. Totally a different kind of car. Might be in GT9 or GT10? Hehe

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I love getting these award winners. There are some utterly fabulous cars in GT because of this.

Yeah, bit of a reach with that last one given that it was announced as the winner only seven hours ago.

Excuses excuses!

You also forgot

• 2016: Ferrari 330 P4 Drogo Spyder ’66

There are also a couple of SEMA cars (Civic, Ford Maverick), although personally I'd really not care if they never added them. Never cared for pre-tuned, personal cars in GT. Prefer the stock cars we can mod ourselves, to our own taste.

 

[Raceface1959]

Definitely looking forward to this one. Speed Racer !!!!!!
