Is it possible that Ferrari won't make it to the next Gran Turismo???

I don't think so. That would be a waste of beautiful textures.
 
I have noticed something odd. The newest Ferrari they had was added around 2011 (the 5 classic Ferrari were modeled by PD at the 2010 Tokyo Concours D'Elegance and have been on PD servers since then.) and literally none of Ferrari's current lineup has been added since.

Also the Ferrari 500 Mondial was retro actively removed (it was also the Ferrari that would have been added last since it was the 2012 Pebble Beach winner. I think PD may have lost their Ferrari license during or after 2012.

This explains why none of Ferrari's current lineup out side of the 458 Italia (modeled in 2009) are in Gran Turismo 6.

Then what's the explanation for almost every other manufacturer's current line up missing from the game?
 
I actually hope Ferrari refuse to be featured in GT7, I say this as a lifetime Ferrari fan, Lets be totally honest here Ferrari as a marque is one of the most if not the most sough after lusted for car manufacturer atleast presently and also in the past but truth be told yes the cars were modelled beautifully in game but the sounds were woeful and part of the appeal of a Ferrari besides the prancing horse is the sound, It totally ruined the Ferrari experience for me anyways, I am of the opinion that if Ferrari refused to be included and stated why that PD would actually sit up and listen, I mean nobody screws with Ferrari :)

If push comes to shove, PD can just make the Nissan license exclusive to them :sly:.

In all seriousness i don't think it's exclusive.

That's an awesome idea! PD should get exclusivity with Nissan and Chevy, and barter the rights for Porche! Oh, and Ferrari or whatever.
 
The only cars I would miss is the California and the 599.

Oh well, as long as BMW and the Vipers are still there, I'm okay.

Exactly, there just aren't that many 2012+ cars in the game from any manufacturers.
 
Microsoft does not hold the license for Ferrari on Xbox nor PC anymore. In February 2010, EA released Ferraris on the NFS: Shift game exclusively for Xbox. Correct me if this was a deal between EA and Microsoft, but if not, that is proof the Microsoft/T10 license expired.

Driveclub has Ferraris with the 599XX confirmed for their game. It is just Polyphony who is playing games with their cars licenses. It wouldn't surprised me if they randomly elected to drop the Ferrari license.

Licenses don't work like that. If PD entirely dropped the Ferrari license we'd have none of them in the game. You can't just keep including old cars in whatever you like for all of eternity after losing a license, you license cars based on a game and/or yearly timeframe.

If PD have not modeled any 2012+ Ferrari models it's just for the same reason they haven't modeled 2012+ models for other marques, time/choice/rolling a dice. It's not because they aren't allowed to.

Of the 1200 odd cars in GT6, there are just 50 models listed as 2012-2014, 28 of which are racing cars, leaving just 22 road cars.
