Most interesting car desciriptions.

[Tzun]

What car do have the most interesting description? Tell the cars name and year. Not like this: It was Toyota Supra or Celica cant remember. And if you can put the desciription to this thread too.

 

[Techy]

To be honest, every car's description is interesting to me, disregarding already-known ones Sorry if this is breaking the policies of this thread.

Jaguar XJ13 Race Car '66

I found it's description very interesting and was worth the time reading.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Any pre-1980 race car is always interesting.

 

[TankAss95]

Any car in which you find interesting will have interesting info behind it to you.

I like to read all of the racing cars descriptions to see who drove it, (which most don't have) where it was raced, how good it was, etc more so with the obscure cars that I don't know so much about.

 

[FlyWire]

Chaparral Washing Machine's description, without it everyone would see the car as a physics fail.

Mazda Cosmo Sport. So far. Haven't read them all yet. That's another segment of the game (like all the Drift Trials and One-Make races) I haven't 'completed' yet.

The Lamborghini Nomad Diablo GT-1, without the description I think many people wouldn't know that it is a JGTC car, and the BMW V12 LMR

I think PD had an orgasm after they wrote the description for the X2010.

The Chevrolet Silverado SS, its very interesting... I actually enjoy most of GT5's car descriptions, I always learn something new

 

[jacnob]

The C1 'Vette thats been messed up since atleast GTPSP.

That's what I meant, not the Silverado, oops.

Isn't the V12 LMR... a Le Mans car? I've never read it's description. I'm not too into Le Mans, so I wouldn't know exactly.

You sir are correct. The winner of the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, perhaps one of the most exciting races in its history.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Oh ok, thanks for the info. 👍

The Toyota 2000GT has quite an interesting one.

 

[Hayden]

I think I've read pretty much all of them, and for me the group b rally cars cars and their road versions all have fantastic descriptions. Oh and the volkswagen schwimawagon (spelling?) is pretty cool.

One of the main reasons I play GT is to learn more about obscure vehicles and the description let's me do that

 

[Downhill Dino]

Indeed, those are cool descriptions (Group B ones), but still the XJ13 was very shocking and interesting.

Schwimmwagon. Replace your a with a w.

There's a mistake in the description of the Mercedes SL500 (R129). In the description page it states "At the time of its debut, the SL was powered by a 5.0 liter DOHC V8 that produced 302 HP and 339 ft-lb of torque."
This is inaccurate, this car was powered by two different V8s the M119 and the M113

M119 was a DOHC 32V V8 from 1989 till 1998 with few changes in fuel injection systems:
1989-1992 had 322 HP and 354 ft-lb of torque
1993-1998 had 315 HP and 345 ft-lb of torque

M113 was a SOHC 24V V8 with dual sparks from 1999 till 2006
302 HP and 339 ft-lb of torque

The 5 speed transmission was introduced in 1996 in the V8 and V12 models, they previously had a 4 speed.


There's another mistake in the design of the R129 in GT5, if you look closely at the rear license plate you'll see that it doesn't fit the body of the car. In real life there is an Amercian spec with the square license plate panel and a Euro spec for the rectangular license plate. GT5 put a Euro plate in an American spec rear panel.

On a side note, yes I do have a lot of free time on my hands.

Any car that has been in Le Mans is very interesting to learn of its story.

 

[Cowboys965]

Isn't the V12 LMR... a Le Mans car? I've never read it's description. I'm not too into Le Mans, so I wouldn't know exactly.

Yes, winner of the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, it beat the Toyota GT-ONE, which got 2nd

 

[Downhill Dino]

I thought all the Toyota GT-Ones broke down? Or was that the other two of them that broke down and never finished? The GT-Ones are probably the prototypes I know most about. Yet I know nothing of others... I don't even like the GT-One.
