They even modeled the rear mirror on the Chariot
(i also noticed the exhaust hole, on the Chariot too)

Also, it seems that some of the 3D models that had been imported to the game look slightly, slightly distored. They still look very good, but just a bit off-puting.

Can you elaborate on that? They look like every other car we've added?

Which one do i elaborate? The distorted car one or the ones about the Chariot's detail?

Distorted bit? I don't get it

 

[ToyotaVoltzS]

Both

For the one on the Chariot, i'm just pointing out it's details. I love how they even take time to model the rear mirror, and the exhaust opening in the bumper was also textured, it's honestly one of the best you guys came up with as custom models go

As for the distortion, the newer modeled cars feels a bit off-putting and less solid compared to the earlier models when put into the game, not to say their horrible, it's actually the opposite of them being better than ever, it's just they kinda start to look more janky and distorted than their models on Blender when they were still being modeled, but maybe that's just me, they're fine, yes that's just me. I don't know what they should look like anyways so i'm just gonna call it that on this one :/

Can you please go into more detail, we all think the cars are looking better than ever so I'd love to see any examples you have of this if you can call it out in the pictures?

About the distorted cars i don't really wanna talk about it anymore, it's just my mind at the time of writing, yes, there's nothing wrong about them 👍

I do think i'm getting my point about the Chariot, it's a good model

But something i do have to say is that going forward, the colors feel more vibrant for the cars nowadays. Back in earlier days, the cars are quite drab even though some are quite vibrant, now even for drab colors like beige or brown or navy they still look quite saturated and vibrant, it's just the lighting work i guess, i think those are real color options, i do believe you guys, but they're quite well vibrant, i may get something wrong here, maybe nothing changed, it's just my feeling again

To be fair that's more on me selecting the brighter colours for the illustration, general rule of them for colours is find IRL references and use base game colours where appropriate. For example the Grandis makes use of the Galant's green, the Galaxy has the Cougars blue etc

 

[submaniac93]

Regardless of Beige's goals, not all boring cars had boring-only colors after all. You're still trying to present those cars in the best angle haha

The best example were those Audis and Mercs, they had very, very vibrant colors.

Also, one question, how do you got the colors for the most obscure cars from the deepest depths of Beige? Take the newest Familia Pepper for instance, i only managed to find a single image of it, it's blue, and no other brochures too. How far did you guys dig? It's amazing to think this list has been finalized since last year, which brings me to another question, how long did you guys take to finalize the list? With how many cars and how obscure these cars are in Beige, it's amazing if it only take a week or two.

Ironically enough while they are rare the Audis and Mercs did indeed come in those colours. If anything if they wern't 1999 models they'd be even brighter with the likes of the tropical green. Below are the Greens from the A4 and C180. Obviously there's some differences as shading and reflections are very linear in GT2.

Colours primarily come from brochures unfortunately it's a lot of VPN's to Japan and floating around flea markets for them. Google Lens can also a pretty helpful resource, if say you find a very low quality image of the brochure you can use that to try and get higher quality.

List was in active development from I think about November of 2024 up to June of 2025. There's very small alterations now and again if certain trim levels weren't documented correctly for the model year but that's very rare. Once it's all said and done it'll be fun to look at what got dropped and what was very late. If you want a fun fact: the Corolla Spacio that was a centerpiece of the trailer was a super late addition to the list!

Okay, so it took months, that's far more realistic considering the scope of this mod

I guess the trick for looking for these obscure oddly-named Japanese trims are to search for the entire model year's brochures instead of the specific model itself, you'll find better images and more info.

Also, is the color diagram custom? Did you make it yourself?

Nice new Cars indeed for Gran Turismo 2 Beige Edition.

Can be, some manufacturers have this awful habit of splitting trims into seperate brochures (looking at you Mitsubishi) which does make things harder. In general we are grabbing colours and refs as we go and if we find one while doing something else we'll keep that in the back pocket.

Pinterest can be a great resource too, this account https://it.pinterest.com/stufisheer/ has tonnes of content pulled from Japanese brochures if you ever want to lose an hour or two looking at the Nissan March Juke or the Toyota Estima Emina as examples

Oi-oi-oi, bless ya Emmie!
Massive thanks for introducing me to that guy, i checked him out and there's a lot i found i didn't even know existed, it's great!!!!!!

 

[ToyotaVoltzS]

You know what i actually went to stufisheer's Pinterest page and actually looked for that March Juke

And i was absolutely not dissapointed

There's a bajillion Marches/Micras i found from that collection alone, it's baffling to think what would happen if Beige would feature all of them.

There were even a lot of versions of one trim level, take the i-z line for example, Beige features the Safety Grip Package but there's also the standard i-z and the i-z-f, there's also more trims like the Autostrada, Mia, A#, G, G# (the trim actually featured on vanilla GT2), Collet f, B b, Vibe, Miami, not even mentioning the classic styled packages! I totally understand why they won't feature all of these, that space could be made for other more distinct stuff........

As for the Emina, well, it is definitely JOYFUL CANOPY.

Pre Short Update

Hyundai Galloper II Turbo Wagon '99

Land Rover Discovery II TD5 GS '99

Daihatsu Opti CL 4WD '99

Mazda RX-7 Touring X '98

Subaru Legacy Wagon 250T-V '99 (this one was done in November but has just had the correct wheels applied)

There's a small hatchback named after a municipality that is done and just needs the colours, I'll be working through those today and I'll post the photos after the short comes out this Monday

Thanks for your continued support!

If you’re ever looking for more car models that would be great candidates for Beige Edition, check out the instagram page @andresuperoem. That page is a gold mine for niche and hyper specific trims of 80s/90s cars, especially Japanese cars.

I think May is going to be just as long........ (12, but that's still a healthy figure)
And more diverse might i add! (April was pumped by the pretzels, eurovans, and boxes)

If there isn't an event called 'The Yarn Festival', I will call the UFOs to take Bolivia

Another one of my questions/statement things, it's been a long time since i did that huh?

- Will we see vehicles with resale values over 50k credits? With the abscence of race cars, concepts, tuners, or just vehicles at that level of prestige in general, i don't think we will see anything spectacular with the resale values.

- Speaking of race cars, had the team considered racing models as worthy of being in Beige, what types of race/rally cars would be featured? I'm thinking something more like modest touring cars or various one-make race cars, nothing special in terms of power.

- Rally would still be accessible on arcade right? We've seen some cars being shot at the dirt tracks on monthly update videos so they're still in the game.

- How would Endurance races be handled? I'd imagine it would be just the same track lineup with the same (maybe altered) number of time/lap/distance. It would be more painfully fun though with the slower and/or heavier cars

- If you guys were reworking the opening movie, especially if you're building it from the ground up, i'd love to see you guys use one of the songs from the monthly shorts, more especially, i'd love to see Rockafeller Skank. Like i've said i personally consider it the anthem of Beige, it just fits for some reason, i know the soundtrack is going to be mostly instrumental to avoid fatigue but i'd like them to make an exception for the OM. Well if you guys are not planning something else (like a parody of another GT title's OM)

- If you guys still remember, what was the first car considered for Beige? I've heard some of the cars that were late additions to the list but what was some of the first ones to make it? I know that in the first mention of Beige the Multipla and some Rovers were mentioned, the first car i recall being modeled was the Roadmaster, and the straight-up centerpiece hero car was the PT Cruiser, so are those the ones?

Thanks!

I love these! I don't think we will, I know the pricing on the buyable cars and they don't even come close to 50k sell price on the 25% of value selling price. Obviously the economy of the game is going to be overhauled to account for you having no 2 Million Credit cars to buy.

- Speaking of race cars, had the team considered racing models as worthy of being in Beige, what types of race/rally cars would be featured? I'm thinking something more like modest touring cars or various one-make race cars, nothing special in terms of power.

Nope, once it became clear we was going all in on a total conversion as opposed to just adding cars, any thoughts of race cars completely went out the window.

- Rally would still be accessible on arcade right? We've seen some cars being shot at the dirt tracks on monthly update videos so they're still in the game.

Accessible in arcade only with the rally cars, because it'll have no function in Gran Turismo mode dirt tires will not be available for Beige vehicles. Honestly the pictures at rally tracks are more for different scenery then anything else.

- How would Endurance races be handled? I'd imagine it would be just the same track lineup with the same (maybe altered) number of time/lap/distance. It would be more painfully fun though with the slower and/or heavier cars

More news on events will come when I've got more to show!

Soundtrack isn't instrumentals, I can't speak too much on the opening movie considering it'll likely be a victory lap once the project is done but it'll be good!

Acura SL-X was the first car on the actual added list, I've done a bit of a reccy on what was cut from the list recently so I'll have a gander through what was on that first batch of cars.

Update coming shortly, I think this month is going to be America heavy (literally in some cases) so look forward to what's coming!

 

[Darkesta]

It is a mod, it's still in development
It is gonna be released someday, not this year but someday
So get ready for that day

I am ready for that day, even though this is all so very exciting, because I know that someday is just around that next chicane!

What would be considered rally cars in Beige? I could see some of the SUVs and other 4x4/4WDs......

From what you've said about the music that's what i'd thought i would hear, will there be some tunes carried over from monthly shorts?

Does it's brothers were added instantly after the SL-X's addition? Or would they came later?

Update coming shortly, I think this month is going to be America heavy (literally in some cases) so look forward to what's coming!

Well yeah considering the most recent addition......

Those don't look light to me.....

Can't wait to be bombarded with minivans and SUVs and landyachts and whatever.......
I can see the Windstar or the Dustbusters coming out this time of the year, maybe the Escalade if that's considered.

Whatever the base Arcade Mode rally cars are, as of now we aren't making any changes to Arcade Mode.

From what you've said about the music that's what i'd thought i would hear, will there be some tunes carried over from monthly shorts?

No the shorts audio is separate and chosen on a whim usually day of production, the soundtrack is period accurate while the shorts are just whatever works at the time, Mic Check for example was released this year.

Does it's brothers were added instantly after the SL-X's addition? Or would they came later?

Came later iirc, I love the SL-X and have since I learned of it's existence!

If the game had oil changes lol, maybe Red Dust is the follow up although you might find one or two of those cars making their appearance with us!
