Some cars are just recorded for their engines. That 488 Challenge was (probably) done for the F8 Tributo, so the Evora could be for anything with the Toyota 3.5-litre V6 from the Alphard to the GT300 Corolla.

Or the Evora.
 
We also know the Evora fully exists as a modern model from the GT Sport beta, so this doesn't actually tell us anything new there.

Them putting one photo in a technical presentation does not mean Lotus and PD have talked to each other at all, this isn't something to read into in this case.

But if the goal was to get the sound of the Toyota V6, there were simpler solutions than going for an Evora. They did a bit of an overkill here. lol

Not necessarily considering where the Evora had been recorded - it's on a UK plate and off the top of my head it is probably easier to get a hold of an Evora here than the other cars it was offered in here, maybe sans imports.

PD and their silhouettes.

Apropos of nothing, has there ever been any reason given for restricting the use of carbon to full car only, in the livery editor? Didn’t GT Sport allow us to apply carbon wherever?

It would be the proper rival to the Aston Martin Valkyrie after all, which is the lone road-going hypercar from the 2020s featured in the game.

I was wondering which car they could have scanned it for. Afaik, there are no cars using the F1 engine in the game (or in the world, apart from the F1 itself), so I see no other car they could have recorded it for... Moreover, I think that the inclusion of the W08 EQ Power+ predates the AMG One, so it's not possible that they recorded it for the lost F1 from GT Sport...
Unless Polyphony plans on adding a F1600H to the game, i.e. their own unlicensed F1 car representing the V6 turbohybrid era of the 2010s (yes please :drool::drool::drool:)

As @Nebuc72 says, if this was captured in a UK facility, I could source an Evora inside an hour (at least for booking it). It'd take a mite longer to find anything else using the same engine.

Let's be honest, if you're scanning an AMG One, it's for the AMG One.

That's definitely in the class of rare car where you aren't tripping over it or sourcing it for something else, you're deliberately being given access to that for the car itself.

Even in a weird scenario where you're recording it for the F1 engine, you scan it anyway just in case you never see one again.

Yes, that was my assumption, but I hoped someone would crush my hopium by saying "oh, look, they might have recorded the engine sound for the new A-Class 180" or something like that. So, now I will have to wait every update thinking that this might be it and we'll receive the AMG One (although I know that scanning does not actually imply it will come now or ever, but still...)

(BTW I just noticed that FH5 was released in November '21, which means that it'll soon be 5 years old, who knows how long was the exclusivity deal licensed for, but maybe...)
Please someone stop my hopium addiction!
 
AMG One would be awesome! It would be great for second batch of Spec IV cars :)
