I would love to drive my golf tdi in gt , and some more like : audi a4 3.0tdi , 4.2tdi !!
 
You know what I would prefer in GT....

Selecting that Marque - then the Model - then the version...

That way it would be much easier to compare different engines/specs etc of the same car...

What the yeti said! :dopey: It should also help to keep those darned showrooms neat and tidy!

I should think, utilising their new modular car-modelling technique for addons (?) / damage, that this would easily allow for many more "unique" cars in the game. Previously, I imagine, each variant had to be distinct entities and were therefore counted separately. Just think, all those R34s could be listed under only one 'image', or whatever. But, I digress...

By the bye, I managed to comfortably win GT4's Schwarzwald Liga B (the low-power one) with a nearly-stock BMW 120d! The only mods, I think, were semi-racing clutch / flywheel set for faster shifting, and maybe an uprated ECU! (On SM tyres, obviously...) Torque matters, as they say.

+1

I race the BMW manufacturer event of the serie 1 trophy in GT4, with a 120d (+ turbo, ECU and suspensions) and the car win all the time!
 
you might hate me for this but i voted no. i may be a little old fashioned but when i am sitting there in my attic listening to the game sounds, if i have a diesel it would just be rattles and fizzes, unlike petrols which have that really powerful sound. forgive me if i am old fashioned.
 
There is already one Diesel confirmed, the Audi R10 TDI LMP1, just saying.

That your opinion and everyone have to respect!
 
-> I really do like to flog the VW Golf Variant/Jetta Sportwagen TDI around the Autumn Ring against the over-hyped 3rd gen Prius. :)
 
I think we should get diesel VW's , Toyota's and other makes of diesel road cars. I know im not the only one here who enjoy the slow cars every once in a while , I even tried to take the model T ford around Nordschliefe in GT4 but it didnt have the power to conquer the first hill.

Actually you can very esily - and very "plesantly" IMO - take the Model T round the ring; you will surely have a much harder task with the 19th century Mecs or even some more modern cars like the citroen 2cv...

OT: I´ve been driving diesels since 1995 and obviously welcome dielsels in GT5 (not that that's anything new since there were a few diesel cars in GT4).
And of course some diesels are slower than others... but I remember that even back then my 82hp 1.7 td vectra flew past many more powerfull petrol cars whenever I began ascending a hill on the motorway.

me too
i voted NO
screw diesels hell with this world if i have to save fuel in video game
i want big ass V12 petrol with screaming sound and rev limiter at 8500rpm
yes i want an enzo haha
actually i think i only used 120d in gt4 once it was required for a race or license i can't remember
 
this has probably been said before but the Audi R10 TDI (Le Mans, '06) is obviously a Diesel :)
 
Goodness YES!!! The R10 TDI, R15, Playstation Pescarola Peugeot, and even the factory Peugeot without CrapBox sponsorship better be in GT5.

*cough*

Its at the end of the E³ Trailer racing against the 787B at the Top Gear Test Track.

I don't see why not, it's not like they are really different from gasoline cars(other than fuel).
 
How can you see its the Top Gear Test Track?

Thanks.
 
We had a thread about this here.
Search it if you want. :)
 
I might be soo wrong with this but in GT4 is the Citroen C3 not a diesel, in the dealership the pic of the engine is th HDI!!

Sorry if im wrong with this!
 
Those who say no to diesels obviously haven't listened to the sound an Audi R10/R15 and the Peugeot 908 make when going down the Mulsanne at full blast.
 
The tuned diesel cars in GT5 should produce lots of black smoke... ;)
 
powersmoke FTW. imagine all that soot spewed out by 740 TDi Lolvos as they leave those wailing V8's like R8 and M3 behind.. :lol:
 
I'm fine with diesels in race cars, but not in production cars.
 

I don't like diesels very much (except the fact they're cheaper to drive), but the smoke is cool. 👍

You often can't hear them over the sound of screaming petrol engines.
 
^If you do hear it with the other race cars not around, they sound like stealth fighter racers! Even more intimidating.
 
Really not a fan of diesels, I just hope that if they are included there isnt a diesel cup that forces me to buy one!

That said, if fuel economy is done properly there should be a huge advantage of taking a diesel in an enduro...
(though I'd still just use a petrol!)

Don't think we need to go that far, any racing diesel (well prepared) makes some "interesting" sound and very good performance.

But the "rush" you feel on a GTD TDI HDI TID and any other acronym that resembles GTI, it's the turbos. Not the diesel making the difference. And for that, we've had many petrol turbos, and we have the latest generation arriving with the TSI engines and any competitors from now on.

I know I'll be getting some "hate mail" my way now, but I just don't believe in diesels unless it's to save me money. It's my opinion.

But if there can be diesels without sacrificing the possibility of having even more petrol cars (models), then I'd say yes, why not 👍
