CLK-GTR changed name to CLK-LM?

Actualy it was always right and now its wrong because the car in the game has the first GTR rims the second GTR body and the LM descrition but neither body or rims

first 97 GTR

second 98 GTR

Mis season before Le mans then they removed the V12 and replaced it with a V8 and added body parts to improve front downforce on the car (wich are not in the car that is in the game)

98 LM

So it is definitly a GTR based on looks alone. Maybe PD added a V8 and forgot to change the rims and body :lol: :lol: :lol:

^Good catch on the rims, I really overlooked that.:dunce:

This car really needs to be made into a premium.

Its my favorite car in the game and its the reason why I keep coming back to GT5 from time to time to do a few laps with it.

And thats also the reason I know that it is in fact the GTR and not the LM and I cant figure out why they changed the name... and another reason is the weight - the GTR - 1000 kg (like in game) and the LM - 940 kg - mainly because of the lighter V8 engine

Whats the highest HP of this car?

I can't get it over I think 475HP. It seems like this car was faster when it was out on the older GT games.

The CLK-LM is not a re-body. It is a new chassis entirely, designed around a V8 instead of the V12. The car in GT5 is indeed a CLK-LM, and not a GTR. The bodywork of the car in GT4/5 is clearly the LM model. The addition of the front dive planes of the car in the 3rd pic is all track dependent. Generally LeMans cars won't run as high of a downforce setup compared to FIA-GT cars due to the nature of LeMans. And as far as the wheels go... race cars often run multiple wheels every season. Often different tire compounds will have different wheels.

Yeah your right Ive watched the FIA GT 1998 season review and I must admit your right but PD still has the weight thing wrong though.

The GTR weight is 1000 Kg and the LM 940 Kg

Your right about the rims too - the rims featured in the game are the rain tire rims....
