from Wikipedia...
Fittipaldi EF7 Motor vehicle

The Fittipaldi EF7 was a Brazilian mid-engined sports car from Fittipaldi Motors, designed in collaboration with Pininfarina and HWA. Originally released as a Vision Gran Turismo concept car for the Gran Turismo Sport racing video game, former Formula One and IndyCar champion and company founder Emerson Fittipaldi announced that a production track-only version would be manufactured and released by spring 2018 as the EF7 GTR. However, the plan did not materialize, and the company became inactive in March 2019.

History
The EF7 was the first Fittipaldi-badged car since the Fittipaldi F8 Formula One car in 1982, and was originally created to be part of the Vision Gran Turismo concept car programme. It was designed by Fabio Filippini and headed by Paolo Pininfarina. According to Emerson Fittipaldi, the design was created to loosely represent a shark and the process took six months. The car was also inspired by wind and how it travels the car. The production model would have featured differences from the concept model had it been produced.

Only 39 real-life units were planned to be made as track-only sports cars. The production number '39' originates from the 39 Formula One and IndyCar victories Fittipaldi achieved throughout his open-wheel motorsport career. Each customer was intended to receive personal racing coaching from Emerson Fittipaldi himself.

The purpose of the car was to have high power, low weight, and high downforce design; features that Emerson Fittipaldi wanted to have in a car. His most important goal for the EF7 was to allow his customers have the best driving enjoyment and experience.

Specifications
The EF7 contains a 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V8 that is dry-sump lubricated. It is expected to have 600 hp (447 kW; 608 PS) or more. This is still to be decided on the final car. Emerson Fittipaldi says the torque, which is at 320 lb⋅ft (434 N⋅m), will help for faster launch, thanks to low-RPM for the torque. This should help for running under-3-second 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) runs. The engine fumes come out of an eight-pipe exhaust that gathers into one exhaust. The engine will also have a 9000 rpm redline. All of this power will be sent by a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission.

The car's weight is said to stand at 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The weight distribution is also said to be at 52 up front, and 48 down the rear. This was made possible thanks to a carbon-fiber construction for both the monocoque and body panels.

The car's suspension was planned to be constructed by HWA AG, who was planned to build part of the car.

True Hopium....

I know one brand that just doesn't see the point of games at all, one that gave it a go and then swore off it for eternity (CEOs change, but PR bods can be there for decades), one that doesn't want its cars to be lost in sandbox games along with hundreds of others, a couple that need a bag full of cash that PD isn't willing to fork over even if others might, and then a whole lot that need a great deal of convincing about it and only ever reluctantly engage.

Man, this is sad.

I realize there must be many cases like this, and it must be really difficult dealing with licensing, not only that, but also with the managers and people from each brand (in different positions) who each have their own thoughts about video games and this industry.

Humans like to complicate things...

I really appreciate this comment explaining this topic, @Famine. It's very interesting. Thank you.

i eagerly await the silhouettes towards the end of every month and its 90% disappointment.

These four are truly awful, there is an abundance of cars missing from this game which FH has. (Downloaded FH when it released on PS5 & played it twice, it feels like what drinking a can of monster would feel like - sensory overload)

Such a waste of development, on the other hand i play this game at such a slow rate and i own a very small percentage of cars so the game still feels amazingly fresh to me.

^ And this is always the "best" part of a GT7 update. Seeing the "doomsayers". :lol:

at this moment, i'm having more fun at this forum than actually playing GT7 which i don't..

Cayit
...now it's just almost dead

I am saying this for 2 Years...!

yeah, very unfortunately, cause its physics and handling are still good, are still fun.
But i don't enjoy anymore playing the same tracks, with the same old LMP1's or GT3's..

I'm looking for LMU, to set races and battle in hypercar class, and lap LMP2 and GT3 cars, that seems fun!
Speacily in Portimão, Imola and Monza, which are one of my favorite tracks.

I'm looking for AC evo, specially the open roads, cause i have been playing FH5, it's actually a very fun game, the handling is good, an fun for a free roam simcade, but the cars doesn't give you a lot of sense of speed, which is what i'm looking for in EVO, you have to be way more than 300 km/h in FH5 highway to sense real speed.

Are we getting a second version cause we have one in the game right?
Click to expand...
just what we need..
 
Guys, remember the game is 3+ years old. The good cars and tracks are probably kept for the next iteration. It's cool to see they keep adding content. Also, the main problem is definitly not the car roster, but the number/quality of events. I really hope they do better for the next game...

Here in Thailand, we have the real "super grocery getter" cars like BYD Sealion 7 AWD Performance, Zeekr 7X Performance, MG IM6, Xpeng G6 AWD Performance all offered 480-770 HP on tap it and they're pretty affordable here as well compared to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in the same price range.
A year or two ago it was the BYD Seal AWD Performance that humiliated BMW M340i on the unprepped old runway drag strip.
China is leading the way of innovation and often outside of the usual automotive thinking.
The normal Xiaomi SU7 Max with "only" 670 HP is only around CNY 299900 or around 41000 USD in China and the 1500 HP Ultra model is around 73000 USD.
I'm just glad that PD finally opened up for Chinese brand to come in and share some spotlight, I just hope that it isn't just only Xiaomi as there are too many brands over there waiting them with open arms with cars ready to feature in the game.
Chinese brands felt the need to prove itself to the world and impress, so I don't blame them showcasing cool stuff it's their way of redefining of what's modern supercar is, it is after all we're in the brave new world unfamiliar to most of the rest of the world so used to the German and Italian high end landscape dominated by super cars and rules written by them for decades.

Here in Portugal, fortunately we didn't had many problems with crashes and accidents with EV plus 400cv still, but for me it's nuts that a housewife can go the supermarket in a plus 400cv, plus 2500kg, it's very dangerous for unskilled drivers, like young new drivers, and people that don't have any experience in fast cars..
I have no problems with chinese brands and products, and i live in a free market, but i prefer Japanese or even European Cars, i would buy even a Tesla if i got more money, but Teslas and EV cars are not one of the most reliable cars here in Portugal.
There are enough reports here that EV are not that great in terms or reliability, and the batteries are super expensive to change.
But because i have a regular job, which mean i'm not that wealthy, i just own a Honda Civic 1.6 2002, and also a Honda Hornet 750, because Honda's and Japanese cars/bikes are just very reliable and you can trust in them.

But Chinese cars in games that could be good, for someone, at list it's something new, but i just prefer the old brands that we all know, i just buy first in games Honda's, Lancer Evo's, Skyline's, until i make money for a Ferrari :D
And then i keep buying supercars, Ferraris, Lambos, Mclarens, Bugatti's, Paganis, you name it..


By the way, great memories of a trip in Thailand that i did 2022, want to comeback one these days =)

Could be, but i feel that are many players that only will play GT7 again if they add a new track..

If they don't, well with all the competition nowadays, i think i will ony buy GT8 after it will be at Play Store for 40€ (and i'm being kind).

#Bring back the ****in 106 GTI's and Saxo Cup, and 5 GT Turbo!

No offense, but they totally don't care about it. Also this means you will buy the game, so it's a win. It's also very weird considering your post history, you don't seem to enjoy the game very much, it would be nice for you to play another one and let us enjoy.
 
The Avantime just screams "How about I re-enact that challenge from Top Gear when they tried to make one quicker than an Evo X?" in my mind, would definitely have a go at that!

CX and CX.R, well can't say much about them apart from the ludicrous performance of the CX.R, but if that's how Chevy wants to deepen their relationship with PD with the hopes of other Chevys in (the C8.R/Z06 GT3R not included, I'm still confused by the whole Pratt Miller-PD drama) then it's fine.

Afeela...people have the same amount of vitriol to this car as they had for the crossovers that were included previously(or worse even), but in the end it is Sony's own car, in Sony's own game. Classic marketing strategy. Might want to test it against the Teslas.
 
It's certainly saying something when a Renault Avantime is the belle of the ball.

I like it as much as I hate the afeela, with its stupid name and looking like a rip off of the Vauxhall Ampera that's been beaten with the blanderiser stick.

With what y’all pay per liter in fuel I’d be amazed if charging a car would be more expensive than fueling one up.

Fwiw. Everyone I know who has gone electric has been thrilled with the operating costs. They all have plug in systems at home though. If your unable to do that because of apartment or something it may be different…but those Electric and SooOooSoo expensive articles are likely astroturf pieces. Or are using the apartment with no charging availability as their paradigm and conveniently ently forgetting to mention that detail. Not saying its a fun, or not fun, drive..just the expenses thing feels pretty much like bs..generally speaking.

The Avantime is part of GT lore though.

I rarely remember an event that didn't appeal to me.. but I still remember races like the Formula GT races and the Grand Canyon rally races in GT4, as well as all those great races from GT3 and GT4 era!!! Since we talked about the old Gran Turismo games...

They also with 100% certainty fail to mention the ~$60k they paid for the said car. With the current fuel prices over here, and even with my old gas guzzler, I'd need to drive some 400.000 km to break even and that doesn't even take into account the fact that the electricity costs money too.

That'll be because, across Europe, 85% of private buyers don't buy new cars outright but through one of several different types of finance. Depending on the type, there'll be a small lump sum (maybe 10% of the purchase price) up front and a monthly payment that reflects the difference between the new price and the car's future value which can either be paid as the difference at the end of the finance period (and secondhand finance is also a thing) or they give it back for the next one.

That applies to all cars of any fuel type too, so the comparison for the break-even should really be between not-electric new car and comparable electric new car, wherein the break-even for the cost difference in the purchase prices is closer to 15,000 miles depending on the market (a little higher in the UK due to our gas-price-linked-electricity prices) and even less when it comes to comparing what people actually pay to their finance company up front and each month.

Comparing "my old gas guzzler" (a vehicle type that I also drive) to a brand-spanking new car of any kind, not just EVs, will result in a massive distance before you break-even on the fuel costs, but that's not even remotely the point anyway. The point is that 5% of the car parc is new every year and the average age of cars actually on the road is about 10-12 years (accounting for 65%+ of all privately owned cars); reducing emissions on the incoming new cars reduces the emissions on the biggest proportion of vehicles people actually drive, more effectively reducing emissions (and local emissions) on the cars on the road.

Sure, they got quite a few people out of sheds with scrappage schemes, but it's just not as effective getting a quarter of a million people out of 15-year old, 35mpg Corsas and into new 50mpg... Corsas in a one-time hit over two years as it is putting 750,000 new electrifieds (BEV/HEV) into the car parc (and about the same, but a few more, modern Euro6d ICEs) to replace older ICEs being churned out of it every year (all UK figures).

And I drive my (£2k) 17-year old car quite a bit and have no intention of replacing it with an EV or indeed anything because it's worthless as a trade-in. It'll either rot around me and get binned or survive to the point of restoration.

We do run an EV, but that's my wife's car through the UK Motability scheme, so technically I'm only really supposed to use it when it's something for her that she can't otherwise do. Also we have a photovoltaic array, so in the summer the electricity doesn't really cost money at all.

Tell me what you see in the title of this thread and in the first (and 23rd) post of this thread.

It's still only one VGT this time by the way. The second is probably next month and is probably only one new manufacturer. See here:
