The 296 GTB is a massive bonus

My sister and I popped into a Ferrari dealership a couple of weeks ago and they had a gorgeous 296 GTB in the showroom - it is just an obscenely beautiful machine in the flesh. I even had the audacity to pretend like I was potentially in the market for one

Already drooling

Really looking forward to testing this beauty on our virtual circuits

Yummy, that Espace F1 and FTO 😍
Hoping the FTO's widebody and aero kits can make it resemble the GT300 Trampio FTO.

Or maybe it will come with a race modification...

I'm still unreasonably hyped for whatever the update and/or DLC will contain in terms of car mods.

Two hours to go until the trailer, if I'm reading the pattern correctly.

Will be interesting to see which particular model that Panda is, because from there it looks like an early car, but the grille looks like a grey, slatted one and not the body colour with the asymmetric grille depending on which engine is installed.

The exact way it's listed in-game is Fiat Panda 30 CL '85. Not sure how model years work for the Panda but that makes it either a very late pre-facelift or a very very early facelift.

This means it's a late pre-facelift model. In 1984 the trim levels were renamed to "L", "CL", and "S". They all got the updated front grille, which was introduced in 1982 with Panda 45 Super.

Is race modification even needed at this point? A lot of cars can be modified to appear very race car like, the only caviat is they will still be labeled as Road Cars when they're anything but at that point (and open to cheesing event banning Race Cars).

I don't see what a Race Mod to an XJ220 would do that the aero parts and upgrades (and even the XJR-9 engine swap if you feel like it) don't already accomplish that you can pick and choose to your liking

It really is. I saw this one IRL a few weeks ago:

That side profile looks very Enzo-esque.

After watching the video posted a few messages up, I really wish you do your magic on the GTB version with a (widebody?) Assetto Fiorano or Speciale livery ... or both

That’s a 36 second 0-100km/h time

True. It also reminds me of a modern interpretation of the 250 LM‘s design.

The state of all GT7 users waiting for tomorrow...

 

[Famine]

very late pre-facelift

Has to be a pre-facelift 141, as the 30 model (and the air-cooled twin) was discontinued with the facelift 141a.

A lot of folk think that the black plastic grille is the facelift model but (despite the fact it is literally a change to its face ) it predates the facelift - by a few years on the Super and range-wide a couple of years later. The facelift came in 1986 and changed quite a bit, but it's hard to tell unless side-by-side; I looked pretty closely at it when we saw the original image and thought it was the 141.

They have the exteriors down, time to work on the interiors now.

As a VR player I never drive Ferraris because of how ugly and sometimes toy like their interiors look

New ones that is - old Ferrari interiors are amazing.

Definitely! I'm also really looking forward to the AC Evo 0.4 update and I don't even own a PC 😆 Some very cool cars coming their way too.

I‘m definitely going to do the Speciale versions, probably in several different colors!

Fiat Panda model is wrong: front grill and wheels come from MK2 model, while interiors, rear fender & other parts are from MK1 model.

That's it, 1.65.000 is cancelled

We got the wrong Panda.

Spec III Postponed until 1.66.000.

 

[MMX]

Got decals for a Panda livery ready to go.

MK1

MK2

I don't know about the wheels, but all the pre-facelift trims had the new grille by 1984.

You're right, but wheels surely are from a facelift.

Some of the car’s kits are lacking, when it comes to being a true replacement for its racing equivalent. That said, I agree with you for the most part.

The one optimisation I’d love to see is the ability to fit a racing fuel tank to road cars, so I can have the road-based builds achieving similar economy to the pure race cars in custom races.

I can’t wait to get on my home track Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 🥰🥰🥰

I hope it’s the Mk2 Panda as that’s what my mum had. In light blue

No. Take a look at rear fender.

Now we only need the trailers!

Looks to be an early (pre '86) one as its got orange indicators. The higher spec ones had the grey grill rather than the body coloured one. But it doesn't look to have the ride height of the 4x4.
