On a re-inspection, the Avantime's plate on the listing and the Polyworks scan analysis (not a 3D model!) do match up (both reads K6 BRP), so...
The Polyworks screenshot (not the scan file, not the model) is what the owner is given, probably as a private proof that was not likely intended to be publicized, at the very least.

Not exactly a chore to duplicate. Also the plate is embossed - which is why we can read it. UK registration plates are not embossed, and although you can get them (and they're illegal) you'd think he'd have put one on the front too...
Again, PD has never sent anything like this to anyone. It simply wouldn't happen - its models and modelling processes are just as much a trade secret as everything else.
It used to, waaaaaaaaay back in the day, send a certificate with a completed in-game model of the car printed on it. I haven't seen one of those in 15 years.
Dude has straight up grabbed a model from somewhere or someone and pretended his car's going to be famous. Pretty fruitlessly too, given Avantime values.
Don't hold out any hope for the Avantime based on this piece of... "evidence". Or rather, I wouldn't. And I love the Avantime.

Fingers crossed for Lotus/Caterham but won't hold my breath. Surprised to see the RS500 listed but not the 200, road or otherwise.

I think Weird Al should do a song based on Celebration by Kool and the Gang. It would be perfect for topics like this.

If one of those was a Ram I would move my metacritic score from 0/10 to 2/10 once we get it in game. For now getting the Demon is worth 1/10.

If the leak is true/real, while there are some pretty neat cars, there are still no Gr.2 cars on the list.

Now if that turns out to be true, PD definitely has an ace up their sleeve.

There are scapes files for Watkins Glen. Plus other new track data.

I would be very happy if all these cars made it in BUUUUUT they would need to add more than 3 per month for the next 2 years.

Does that variant/body of the Escudo Pikes Peak actually still exist? I've not seen a single instance of it appearing in a museum or anything since the early 2000s. If you try and research it it's like it's completely vanished.
Would love to be proven wrong and find out where it ended up.

Someone said a while back that the car doesn't exist any more, and they seem to be right, but I think there should be enough reference material for PD to create it fairly accurately. They have whatever data they still have from GT6, which looked solid enough in terms of the shape/mesh. Just needed re-building with more polygons and generally improving. Then there is a fair bit of reference imagery of the real thing to get the finer details right, including interior shots. They wouldn't have to get it totally accurate, if the real thing doesn't exist it only needs to look accurate to the best reference images. Plus who knows what Suzuki themselves could provide.

Files found from datamining do not necessarily mean they'll all be added to the game.
A good proof of that is the datamine @TheAdmiester did of Forza Horizon 4 early-ish in that game's life, which I've put below. Highlighted in bold are the vehicles that have appeared in either FH4 or FH5 since then.
That's barely half of it, over a period of nearly 4 years, from a developer that likes to throw cars at our faces. Don't get your hopes up, folks.

I mean, if these files were indeed found in the game files then they have a higher chance of being added in a DLC than something that isn't. No guarantee obviously, but it's worth noting. But I don't know, I guess it's more fun to argue black and white over a Renault Avantime. The Fiat Coupe was also rumoured to have been scanned awhile ago, wasn't it?
I think the datamined tracks are pretty well known. Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Red Rock Valley, Grand Valley.
I did hear about an Australian track. But that’s more speculative. The whole track issue is up in the air as it seems PD did cut tracks planned for GT Sport. Probably saving them for GT7.

The man who would probably know best is Tajima himself. He still has his 1995 car & the cowl from the legend itself. It gets a quick little highlight in this article from 2014 touring Tajima's shop.

I’m pretty sure that by the time you finish reading this rather special workshop tour, you will never look at Monster Tajima or Monster Sport the same way ever again. I’m serious. And I’m not trying to be overly enthusiastic here either, because while I knew that Tajima-san doesn’t joke around...

I think this month will be very telling for the future of GT7.
PD now has a well-known track record for strange design decisions, but less so for not giving us a fair amount of assets to use, regardless of if the functionality/economy/correctly working features allows it to be “fun” or a productive addition.
In the first year of GTS PD was throwing us close to 10 cars almost every month as well as a number of tracks. It’s really odd to me that they’ve somehow been unable to keep this up remotely closely in 7. I can’t believe additional aero parts and performance mods would increase development time by double or more. I don’t know why we’ve only gotten 3 cars and half a duplicate track on average for each content drop so far, but surely PD were planning on supporting GT7 with content throughout its life just as Sport was, it’s just how modern games have to be operated now.
We got the Suzuki VGT last month with the intent to expand its variants and participation from the brand in the future. The leak includes some Pikes Peak and notorious rally cars, including the Escudo. Pikes Peak Hill Climb happens late this month. PD/Sony have sat on the PPHC exclusive license for years. I’m obviously hinting that there’s indication of a major Pikes Peak themed content drop, but this all hinges on the validity of the leak.
I can’t come up with a reason why content/post launch support could be so thin compared to past capacities. But, a personal anecdote I’m aware of is that the Porsche 918 struggles with wheel-hub dynos, with even Porsche technicians being present people have been unable to prevent the car’s computers from freaking out and putting the car into limp mode due to odd load-sensing. My understanding is that outside rare collector/race cars, audio is captured at separate times by separate teams and units of hardware. That 918 has been a rumored car for a while,
and maybe there’s been a holdup with audio capture, and further, maybe there’s been a string of issues like this, slowing audio or visual capture, and it’s happened to coalesce recently. I really have no idea, but it’s so exceptionally strange to me that they’re not even able to dump out car content.
TL;DR: bad design isn’t unusual, but being unable to put out a solid amount of raw asset content is unusual for PD.
Surely content should ramp up, but I don’t know why it hasn’t already. The cars listed in the “leak” are believable, but validation of the the source seems a bit thin, and anyone with brain and attentiveness could make that up if they have a big enough desire for internet clout.
I think this month’s content (or lack thereof) will be extremely telling of the trajectory GT7’s support. And I really, really, hope it’s more substantial, Pike’s Peak or not.
