Mazda RX-7 (FD) LM Race Car (Gran Turismo 3) 2001

[Lubeify100]

Horsepower: about 600
Weight: 1050
Difference between the GT3 and GT4 versions: the GT3 version is more powerful but has a more simple design. Colors are different.

.............?? Isn't this same thing as the one in the game already? I don't see a difference here....

The GT3 version features more powerful engine and sleek body lines. I would rather replace it with the current RX-7 LM of GT4 as that edition is just replica of GT300 race car which is already featured in last few GT games.

No, it isn't the same thing.

The RX-7 LM which we have on GT6 is from GT4 (2004), has an different aerokit, different liveries and less powerfull than that RX-7 LM GT3.

By the way, I like this car, I drove it once in GT3. Would to see it back. Voted! 👍

Honestly, LM racecars in GT3 were better than those in GT4 for me, especially FTO.
I still have no idea why PD chose to detune them (ex. S2000, Altezza, etc.).

Voted.

I prefer the new Generation FD Touring Car that's already a Premium car, it looks better in my opinion.

Probably because they tend to be more realistic that way. The GT3 FTO LM is an interesting car but completely ridiculous in terms of common sense. The Altezza LM and S2000 LM are more forgiving but in general they were all overly overpowered and visually pretentious to be part of the game that aims towards realism.

Same goes for the circuits. That is why they were all given flat surfaces and more concrete.
