Quoted from article here...
"...with the suspension system that can literally jump the car off the road,"

Something like the Mach Five?

It's no secret that politically China and Japan (and the West generally) don't see eye to eye with each other. My personal opinion is that this wasn't BYD's decision but someone high up that felt that having a Chinese car as the fastest in Gran Turismo would have been like sticking a middle finger up at so many decades of European, American and Japanese automotive expertise. I have no proof, just sayin'.

The Xiaomi isn't as ludicrous as the Valkyrie rabbit in the Hypercar Parade races.

Easy to beat, yes. But ludicrous in a way that PD couldn't think of a better event to feature that car; instead they just lumped it in a category in which said car is 100 pp more than the restriction and made it a "challenge" by making it the lead car.

If the U9 is an AI in a new WTC 600 race, oh boy... :lol:

I mean, the Xiaomi being a rabbit in the Nurburgring race is already ludicrous enough.

I once did a troll race using a swapped Honda N-ONE RS to defeat that Xiaomi SU7 Ultra on that same race.

Easily redefines the definition of "giant killing".

A small correction regarding the Porsche 964 Turbo S.

The Widowmaker was never available as a Turbo "S" 3.6, so it's irrelevant. The Turbo S is only available with a 3.3-liter engine. The speculated Turbo 3.6 was simply called Turbo 3.6 (without the S).

That's perfectly fine, because the Turbo S (with the 3.3-liter engine) has 381 hp, while the Turbo 3.6 produces "only" 360 hp.
 
I wonder which dealer the Porsche 964 Turbo S Leichtbau will be sold in... Used Cars or Legend Cars?

Part of me thinks it might be Used Cars given the time period, but also Legend Cars due to its rarity.

I'd certainly expect a one-of-86 car that changes hands (rarely) for seven figures to be in Legends.

There was a limited Turbo S 3.6 as well with most receiving the "flat nose" option, they were the last 964 Turbo models produced. Though the one being added to the game is definitely missing the rear seats making it the 3.3 Leichtbau.
 
So, if the Porsche is the 964 Turbo S 3.3, anybody know if it should come with the Veilchenblau metallic color option?

I'm not sure if this model come with this color.

Another WTC 900 race without a new GR.2 car… I’m beginning to suspect the obvious that no more GR.2 cars are coming to the game.

Hey c'mon, you gotta admit the Volkswagen ID.R is pretty cool, being a more contemporary Pikes Peak special. Plus, I recall hearing that EVs like that have a notable advantage at Pikes Peak since there's no concern of the engine being starved of oxygen at high altitudes. If there's any EV that I think deserves this treatment, it's the Afeela. It's simply got such a boring design - even for an EV, as far as I'm concerned. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are genuinely cool-looking EVs in the game like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the Polestar 5, and the Porsche Taycan. Even the BMW i3 and the Tesla Model 3 are cooler than the Afeela.

Apparently, it's the 964 Turbo S Leichtbau (Lightweight). It's going to be expensive as Hell AND in the Hagerty dealership. Doesn't matter either way. Per my Porsche rule, at least 3 in my garage (except the 917, I'm not a masochist). Back to Le Mans and back to the Escudo.
If Polyphony gives it customization to make it resemble the Auto Garage TBK 964 or Blackbird's 964, that would smack hard.

Real world pricing of the 964 Turbo S Leichtbau is roughly close to $1,190,000.

I knew it was the Leichtbau version of the 964 Turbo S, as the reveal image showed the two tone flatter seats design, with the two wide holes below the head rest area included on the Leichtbau seats, compared to the ribbed seats of the regular Turbo S:

Should've posted earlier, marvelled at my genius for such a frivolous thing and still got drunk on all the likes. 😡😁

No, something exactly like this:

Post in thread 'Gran Turismo 7 April 2026 Update: Renault Twingo, Porsche 964 Turbo S, Yangwang U9, Power Pack Changes, Reverse 'Ring Circuit Experience'

The one and only thing I want from the Yangwang U9 Xtreme is to use the Overtake/DRS button to activate the jump system.



That's it. This or I riot.
