Car models that are wrong

Grand Prix
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO stock comes with Comfort Softs and zero downforce. Just about what you expect really.

1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe stock comes with Racing Hards and massive amounts of downforce, both front and rear. :odd: :boggled: Sports Hards I could see, but there really shouldn't be much more DF than the 250 GTO.

Not really a modelling problem, but adds to the already large list of inaccurate Le Mans racecars for PD. :lol:

Yeah that's a bit odd. But then again the '64 Shelby Coupe in GT6 isn't a '64 Shelby. I think Polyphony should hire some German engineers to balance out their artistry with some cold hard logic.
 
Not a modelling issue but a car inaccuracy. The Mclaren F1 GTR cars have the gearbox from the BMW Longtail Mclaren F1 (a sequential), when the real car has a slightly modded 6speed manual straight from the road car. The tyres on the BR-Z/86 would be comfort hards.

Sports hards are track day/cup tyres, semi slicks.
 
Not 'exactly' a modelling problem, but the Golf VI R should have 267bhp, but instead it only has 256bhp.

What really grinds my gears about this now, is the fact that the Audi TTS Coupe has 'the exact' correct BHP and Torque figures, yet they fail to put it on the Golf VI R (In Australia and Japan the car is nerfed, so its likely their using the asia version, not the international version).

EDIT: ok 268, still the right engine

JDM model years and export model years are different. I'm guessing it's because of that.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking as well, given that Subaru did do the cars sooner in Japan than anywhere else, but the problem is, everything is dependent on year with the GG Impreza styling... The styling is polarizing - you either like it, or you don't. TBH, I don't like the 2001-2003 "bugeye" styling. I like my '05... So when I see that there's a bugeye wagon in the game, and not a blobeye wagon, I'm disappointed... And the Japanese year models are specific to Japan, I don't like how the USDM/Canada/EDM markets were left out of the proper years just because of Japanese year models, on top of the lack of my year... They only had to change the headlights, front fascia, and taillights, really...

The years on ALL of the Imprezas between 2001 and 2006 are WRONG!


Then the bugeye (round headlights) was from 2001-2003... They got that right, but how did they mix up the 2001-2003 and the 2004-2005 like that?

And the 2005 model is only slightly different to model (different headlights - blacked out) but wasn't included. :( I have the 2005 model, I love my blacked-out headlights. And the '05 wagon (my actual car) wasn't included, and only the bugeye wagon and GC8 wagon was included.



I'm just hoping that PD fixes that.

Dude, car companies sell their cars for more than a year without re-vamping them. I don't think specific year matters. Plus I searched them all up and they're right, the only thing is that the 2004 STi was sold in 2003 as well, they probably did that just to separate them. And yeah the JDM and USDM's got different looks to comply with safety and all that.

Funny thing is Gran turismo 4 had the correct wheels on the CSL.

Beat me to it lol. I was confused when I got the CSL in GT5 and the wheels were wrong, and then disappointed when they didn't fix it in GT6. My fave car, definitely deserves to be premium

Not what I mean. The 2003 STi in Canada is a bugeye (round headlights.) The 2003 STi in Japan is a blobeye (awesome headlights :p) I'm pointing out an error that could be changed by renaming the cars differently in different countries - in Canada, same car, '04. In Japan, same car, '03.


Easy!



But, PD makes it very challenging.


How, if they were to include the German/Japanese versions of the 2004 STi sportwagon, that's when you'd have to worry about rear-facing red-coloured fog lights. :crazy:

No, it's a non-entity, since it didn't exist.

An error would be something that's wrong. The Subarus are some of the rarer breed of Japanese cars in GT5/6 that don't suffer from erroneous market-specific naming errors.

And yet, you understand what I'm saying, since you point it out as a non-entity.
 
That's what I'm saying.

If PD wants to model in a car that only exists in the Japanese market, shouldn't they specify that? :confused:

Well it is a Japanese company, you'd think they wouldn't bother since that's the norm for them. Blame the translators if anything...
 
The taillight panel on the Camaro Z28 '69 should be the same color as the rest of the car, not black. Only big-block Camaros had a black taillight panel and the Z28 has a small block 302.

This, also they are all EJ20's, I couldn't see a single EJ25 in the lineup, which is a bit of a shame as you miss the rumble on the EJ20's with Twin Scroll (V8 and up).
That being said, I bought my exact car (Legacy GT Spec. B Wagon), and with a racing exhaust it sounds almost exactly like mine does.

:confused: That's a shame? The EJ20 is the preferred motor in Canada, the EJ25 is unreliable. I have the EJ253, wish I had the EJ207...

It just looks completely wrong. The whole thing.

Disagree. Note the pic of it from Gran Turismo is from 5 not 6, I have one on my HD from 6 but anyway.

Also my dad owned this in a Vauxhall guise and have always thought it modelled well in Gran Turismo.

heh, yeah I know, just sounds better that's all :)

Again it's a JDM thing. The Japanese cars don't even bother with the 2.5L engine, you can't spec it in that country. Also Ive noticed that in the older WRX STI models the Japanese versions used the base WRX spoiler rather than the bigger WRC inspired wing that comes standard with the STI models in other countries.
 
What annoys me is the Art Morrison Corvette is written into the game as the "Art Morrison Corvette'60"

There's no space in between Corvette and the year. OCD senses are in overload!

MR2 G Limited has the words Turbo on the side amd the raised vented engine lid from the turbo.

They basically copied the MR2 GTS model and swapped the engine. And lowered the weight.
Click to expand...

Swapped the engine? lol or just adjusted the power output! Did they raise the compression ratio? :lol::lol:
 
RPM and speedometer in 365 GTB are 'swapped'. I mean the RPM needle moves 'according' to the speedo and vice versa. Unless it's just how astronomical the brakes and acceleration on that thing are.

Also, RPM needle in the GTO '84 almost doesn't move.
 
I dont know if it's been mentioned yet but the 2013 Veyron is all wrong because it doesn't exist.....

Arghhh!!! Stop it, it's ugly! The "1970s lifestyle magazine" photo isn't doing it any favours either.

This pic looks like a real one, not a GT5 one. :)

I think most of these are hatches in the UK, and not saloons, like in the game. So it is possibly throwing my judgement somewhat. The front looks wrong to me though, too rounded, and as the other poster said, it looks jacked up too high.

These all date back from when they were done purely from photos and some were deliberately changed to match how you "thought" the car looked, rather than complete accuracy, so it's probably understandable.
