Given that the Shelby Cobra is in N500, where do you think the December DLC cars will go?

It seems that between the Group B Audi Quattro being in Gr.B with more modern rally cars, and the 1960s Cobra being in N500, it seems that it won't be necessary to have new groups based on when a car was made, especially with BoP being around. We also know there are other cars coming in which we don't really know how they'll fit in, or if new groups will be made altogether, such as a "Group D" for the drift-spec 370Z that was confirmed, or perhaps other groups for the VW Samba Bus, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, the SEMA-winning Chevrolet Nova, and the KTM X-Bow that will be coming next month. Of the twelve cars coming, we also should note that ten were premium cars in GT6, with the newcomers being the SEMA winner and the SVT Raptor. We also should keep in mind that around 50 cars in total will be added between now and March of next year, and possibly even more beyond that.

But I digress. Aside from the comparatively unusual X-Bow, SVT Raptor, the Samba Bus, and the SEMA winner, which N-series do you think the others will go? Here were my guesses, based on the HP figures for the cars in GT6:

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible (C3) - N300
Ferrari F40 - N500
Ferrari Enzo - N600
Lamborghini Countach LP400 - N400
Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A - N300
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R32) - N300
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur (R34) - N300
Suzuki Swift Sport - N100

Otherwise tend to agree:tup:

Are they going to slow the cobra down to bus level or speed up the VW bus to cobra performance level for BOP? Looking at other VW performance bop trends I say speed up the bus!

I highly doubt they will put the Cobra & VW Bus in the same class
 
Even the Quattro is in the wrong group to begin with it isn't even Group B spec, Its pikes peak spec which has more power and more downforce.
 
My predictions:

  • Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible (C3) - N300
  • Ferrari Enzo Ferrari - N600
  • Ferrari F40 - N500
  • Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - N300
  • Lamborghini Countach LP400 - N400
  • KTM X-BOW R - N600
  • Mazda RX-7 (FD) Spirit R Type A - N300
  • Nissan Skyline (R32) GT-R V-spec II - N300
  • Nissan Skyline (R34) GT-R V-spec II Nür - N300
  • Suzuki Swift Sport - N100
  • Volkswagen Samba Bus Type 2 (T1) - N100
  • Chris Holstrom Concepts 1967 Chevy Nova - N700
 
Id like the ability to change more cars to GR3/4. I think it was 2?? Maybe 3 that you could turn a regular car into a race version. Once the packs come out with a plethora of options it would be awesome to have a GR4 Cobra or others.

I am personally waiting on the Cobra-R or Saleen S281 for my Stang fill. As for others a Saleen 1 would be choice, C5-R from GT3 spec would be welcomed as well.

How do yall feel about options for upgrading regular cars to GR3 or 4?

since both GTRs have 276bhp, they'll be N300 in a stock condition, but it will be interesting to compare them with cars like Audi TTS.

R34 N500,
R32 N400.

Is established the category is all about power output. So, the Skylines (and the RX7) are all under 300hp, why on earth they should be from other categories?
BTW, the X-Bow R goes around 300hp too, it should be a N300 also.

In both cases proving the classification based only on power output is flawed and useless. If there was any doubt after the N700 category consisting on a McLaren 650S and a 2 ton SRT Hellcat.

They both have 276bhp. Categories aren't done like PP were. They are obviously N300 cars.

Well they were never 276bhp in the first place but yeah if it just power based they will be 400 at the max.

they are officially marked as 276bhp, yes, the R34 power output is around 310bhp but that's another story, and it still sits in N300 even as 310bhp.

I think instead they should just introduce a Gr.3/Gr.4 equivalent of the car instead, perhaps in a future update, rather than doing something like the RM cars in GT5. But that said and aside, I'd still be very interested. Like if they brought back the RM/Touring Cars from GT6, and consolidated them under a single suffix, like making them all Gr.4 cars. So for example, instead of a "Toyota Prius Touring Car" or "Suzuki Cappuccino RM," they'd be called the "Toyota Prius Gr.4" and "Suzuki Cappuccino Gr.4," but otherwise use the same general models as in GT6 - after being upgraded to "Super" Premium, of course.

OP forgets Group X exists for the vehicles not belonging «anywhere».

I knew about it, that's where I was thinking the Samba Bus, the SVT Raptor, and the X-Bow would go, and possibly the SEMA Nova as well. I mean, the Samba Bus has around 63 HP - it'd take some serious tweaking on part of the BoP system to make it eligible for even N100.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that for a moment. But that still sort of serves my point about classes being pretty lenient as to what cars can potentially be within one.
 
Enzo Ferrari - N700

R32 - N300
R34 - N400

Corvette Convertible - N300
Sambabus - Gr. X
Chevy Nova - Gr. X

The Enzo makes 650hp. From what’s been observed from the game so far, having more than 640hp may put the car into N700, rather than N600.

F40 is a given - it has 478hp, it’ll be in N500.

The R32 and R34 are weird. They don’t have “276hp”. That’s just the Gentlemen’s Agreement talking. The R34 had closer to 330-340hp near the end of its production.

I’m not sure if the same as above goes for the RX-7, but I’ll assume that it actually does have 276hp for now.

Swift Sport is a low powered car - I think it has less than 150hp, so it should be in N100.

The X-BOW R is another weird one. While it is pretty much a track day car, we can observe that N-classes don’t necessarily include the weight of the car when calculating which class it belongs in. As such, it’ll probably be placed in N400, and be incredibly OP in said class.

The Countach is literally an LP400. So...N400?

Didn’t really research the Vette that much, but I’d assume it’d be in N300.

The Samba Bus is probably too slow for N100, so it slots right into Gr. X.

The Nova is a SEMA car, so it most likely doesn’t fit into any normal class. I assume the rest of the SEMA cars will be added to Gr. X as well.
